ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus concentrates, collects and removes heavy metals, other cations, and anions from media permitting generation of electrical fields. The heavy metals and other cations are electrochemically concentrated and precipitated for rapid removal from the aqueous media. The media, which may be aqueous, soils or wastes, is filtered and passed through a cation or anion exchange resin beds. Metals or anions are captured and held in the resin beds. Current is then applied through the resin beds using opposing electrodes of opposite polarity. In the metal removal units, heavy metals and other cations are concentrated around the negative electrode and lifted to a top of the electrode chamber using hydrogen gas lift. The concentrated solution of heavy metals and cations are removed from the chamber above the negative electrode and are circulated to provide additional time for growth and precipitation. Once in a crystalline structure or precipitated form, the elemental metals and metal hydroxides are separated from the aqueous phase using a trap, which retains the crystallates and precipitates. The treated liquid is returned to the chamber beneath the positive electrode for recycling. The anions are concentrated in a similar manner and removed in soluble form from the aqueous media.
