ABSTRACT:
An electrochemical process for reducing the level of contaminants in an aqueous electrolyte containing the contaminants comprising: suspending particles in the electrolyte in a reaction zone defined by a pair of electrodes to obtain a suspension containing from 1 to 40% by volume of the particles, establishing high turbulence sufficient to maintain the particles in a state of violent agitation, and passing an electric current between the electrodes to generate an electric field in the turbulent electrolyte in the reaction zone. Advantageously the turbulence of the electrolyte corresponds to a Reynolds number above about 3,000 and preferably is in the range of about 10,000 to 50,000. Apparatus for carrying out the process is also disclosed.
