ABSTRACT:
A method of reducing the emanation of radon gas from radium in mine rock faces. Also disclosed is apparatus employing an anode in electrical contact with the mine rock face in a water-bearing formation and a cathode remote therefrom in the water-bearing formation, as well as a source of D-C voltage for applying a potential between the cathode and the anode for moving radium ions toward the cathode through the water-bearing formation from the mine rock face by electrolysis.
