Abstract
A method and system generate reductive and/or oxidative chemical species in an aqueous fluid stream to disinfect and/or remove contamination. A filter is provided having a filter element of at least two porous carbon support layers and a silicate wool or glass wool layer in direct contact with and between the at least two porous carbon support layers. Electric current is passed through the filter element. A fluid stream containing elemental halogens and/or halide salts is passed through the filter element, distributing halogens or halides within the filter element. contaminants from the fluid mass onto the filter element, thereby disinfecting or removing the contaminants. Oxidizing contaminants from the fluid mass are adsorbed onto the filter element, thereby disinfecting or removing the contaminants.
