<p>The present invention provides electrolytic methods for the remediation of water. An aspect of the invention provides an electrolytic method for treatment of water having organic and/or inorganic impurities therein, the method including: (a) contacting the water with at least one first electrode device; (b) providing at least one second electrode device in non-physical, electrical contact with the water; and (c) passing an electric current between the second electrode device and the first electrode device, so as to establish an electric field in the water of sufficient strength and duration to effect one or both of the following processes: (i) localise concentrations of the inorganic impurities to facilitate their separation from the water, and (ii) electrolytic dissociation of water to produce dissolved oxygen and hydrogen species for treatment of the organic and/or inorganic impurities. Also provided is an electrode device including: a non conductive housing; one or more electrodes arranged within the housing; an inlet and an outlet in the housing for passage of impurity containing water therethrough such that the water contacts the one or more electrodes; and means for connection of the one or more electrodes to a power source.</p> |
