Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2018185500A1] An apparatus for the treatment of an aqueous organic waste liquid to provide a treated liquid containing less organic matter, the apparatus comprising: a treatment reservoir defining first and second zones separated by a porous separator, carbon-based adsorbent material capable of electrochemical regeneration provided in said first and second zones, the adsorbent material in each zone being coupled to a source of electrical power for providing a potential difference between the adsorbent material in each zone such that the adsorbent material in a first zone acts as an anode and the adsorbent material in a second zone acts as a cathode; wherein the total surface area of the adsorbent material in the first zone is different to the total surface area of the adsorbent material in the second zone. A method for the treatment of an aqueous organic waste liquid is also described.
