An oil-contaminated soil and groundwater treatment system, in which the polluted groundwater pumped into the electrocatalytic device uses a high-voltage electric field to change the structure of water molecules. After high voltage discharge, electrocatalysis and electrolysis, alkaline reduced water, acidic oxidized water and neutral water can be quickly produced. By the oxidation effect of electrocatalytic device anode, chloride ions and dissolved oxygen in water generate hypochlorous acid and superoxide ions, and the interaction between the two generates hydroxyl radicals and microbubbles with high oxidizing ability and long-lasting oxidation, thereby effectively remediating soil and groundwater polluted by total petroleum hydrocarbons.

A water treatment system is provided. The system includes a container holding a reactant liquid within the container. The system further includes an electrode capsule removably retained within the container and submerged in the reactant liquid. The electrode capsule operates to generate reactant gas by operating within the reactant liquid. The system includes a cap releasably coupled to an opening of the container. The cap includes a nozzle that allows flow of reactant gas out of the container to treat an amount of water.

Methods and systems for the controlled production of aqueous halogen solutions with varying compositions are disclosed. According to an embodiment, aqueous solutions of hypochlorite ions are modified through the sequential addition of pH adjusting chemicals, non-chloride halide ions, and halogen stabilizing compounds.

The invention relates to a method and a system for purification of water in a water purification system. The water purification system comprises first and second mixing reactors, first and second flotation reactors and first and second filters all serially and fluidly connected in a flow direction of the water as well as an electrolyzer.
