Abstract
Abstract Method for treating metal containing waste water employing a vessel containing the waste water in which there is provided at least one anode and a cathode consisting essentially of electrically conductive particles and in which the waste water is subjected to electrolysis during which the waste water and the particles of the cathode are being moved. The particles of the cathode are arranged in a cage closed on all sides whose walls are perforated. The cage is moved by an external force during the electrolysis in order to move the particles. The waste water is simultaneously moved by producing a forced flow through the particles. An apparatus is provided for practicing the method.
