Method and apparatus for electro-chemical treatment of contaminated water

Abstract

A method and apparatus that can include an electrolytic cell and reactor chamber with an upstream ultrasonic cleaning system of the cell for the treatment contaminated water, which can include industrial wastewater containing high concentrations of inorganic compounds and elements. The contaminated water can optionally be effluent from open pit ponds and subterranean mining, produced water from oil and gas activities (upstream, midstream and downstream), ash ponds from the utilities industry, red mud ponds from aluminum production among many industries that produce industrial wastewater with heavy inorganic material concentration.
