Abstract:
Provided herein are devices, systems, and methods for removing contaminant ions from water within an aquifer. The devices, systems, methods employ an elecrokinetic driving force to induce the migration of charged species towards electrodes, where they can be concentrated and removed from the aquifer. In this way, the devices, systems, methods described herein can be used to economically remediate groundwater contaminated with charged species.
