Abstract
Process and apparatus are described for recovering components sorbed on a body of wet granules that are highly selective for the sorption of said components. The process comprises passing a direct electric current through said body of granules and an ion-permeable substantially hydraulically impermeable barrier juxtaposed with said body of granules in a direction substantially parallel to the smallest dimension of said barrier, thereby facilitating the desorption of at least one of said selected components from said granules. The desorbed components are then separated from said body of granules.
