Abstract
Methods and systems for in situ electrochemical treatment of aqueous solutions used in agricultural systems, community systems and industrial systems. In aspects, is an in situ electrochemical method for the treatment of fertigation water, comprising: flowing the fertigation water through an electrochemical cell comprising at least one anode and at least one complementary cathode while simultaneously adjusting one or more of current density, flow rate and pH, wherein said flowing fertigation water contacts the anode and cathode causing one or more of: degradation of a recalcitrant organic contaminant, mineralization and solubilization of an organic, forming a disinfection agent against a pathogen, and maintaining nutrient levels in said fertigation water; and collecting treated effluent.
