ELECTROLYTIC SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ENHANCED RADIOLOGICAL, NUCLEAR, AND INDUSTRIAL DECONTAMINATION

摘要

The present electrolytic system for decontaminating a contaminant disposed on a substrate includes means for providing a brine solution; means for providing a pair of electrodes interposed by a permeable membrane to create a first channel and a second channel; means for flowing the brine solution through the first and second channel; means for applying a potential to the pair of electrodes to produce a first ionized decontamination solution in the first channel and a second ionized decontamination solution in the second channel; means for applying one of the first ionized decontamination solution and the second decontamination solution to the contaminant; and means for recovering the at least one of the first ionized decontamination solution and the second ionized decontamination solution and the contaminant from the substrate.
