Electrokinetic remediation of heavy metals and ions is achieved by subjecting low-level direct current (DC) by means of electrodes.
My question is that which metal-electrode will be best for phytoremediation of soil and wastewater in terms of low-corrosive, high efficiency and long life span?
Is there any difference between rate of electrolysis if the electrode metal is changed?
Your valuable answer will be highly appreciated.
Hi, Please read the following article :
Effects of electrode material on the electrokinetic remediation of cadmium-contaminated soil near a mine tailing
- January 2015
- Fresenius Environmental Bulletin 24(5B):1940-1946
Graphite electrodes are more suitable in this case, because they do not causes secondary pollution and have less corrosion.
Also, I think your question is:
Which metal electrode is best for remediation or electrokinetic remediation of soil and wastewater?
electrodes not used in phytoremediation!!!!
