METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR THE ELECTROCHEMICAL TREATMENT OF CONTAMINATED AQUEOUS MEDIA

摘要

An apparatus (10) for electrochemical purification of a contaminated aqueous medium comprises at least one electrochemical reactor (A,B) connected in flu id flow communication to a settling chamber (D). A re-circulation system (34) i s provided for causing at least a portion of the aqueous medium to flow back into the electrochemical reactor (A, B) after the contaminated aqueous mediu m has been treated and at least partially cleaned in the settling chamber (D).
