Electrosorption of Chromium Ions on Carbon Aerogel Electrodes as a Means of Remediating Ground Water

“…In experiments discussed elsewhere, it has been shown that U, Pb, Cd and other heavy metals, all at very low concentrations, can be selectively removed from sea water. It has also been shown that Cu, Zn, Cd, and Pb can be selectively removed from 0.1 M KNO 3 solutions …”

“…Note that the electrosorption capacities given in Table are based on the carbon mass of both CAC electrodes (anode and cathode). The values found in ref were based upon the carbon mass of the anode (or cathode) alone and had to be divided by two before inclusion in Table . Values of the electrosorption capacity for NH 4 ClO 4 on pairs of CAC electrodes are found in Table of ref .…”
