COMPOSITE CONDUCTIVE MATERIAL

摘要

A composite conducting material is described comprising a non-conductive polymeric base material, and for example a geosynthetic or like material, in association with at least one primary conducting electrode element comprising a metallic core element coated with a coating of mixed metal oxides such as oxides and/ or suboxides of tantalum, niobium, iridium, palladium, ruthenium, rhodium, titanium and mixtures thereof. The material disposed as an electrode, for example in an electrokinetic circuit, for the treatment of materials such as highly watered and/or highly saline substrates by electroosmosis, is also described.
