Claim:
1. An electrochemical reactor for removing mining constituents from a fluid, comprising: a housing including a plurality of channels defining flow paths, wherein each of the plurality of channels includes a top plate, a bottom plate, and a plurality of sidewalls coupling the top plate to the bottom plate, wherein the top plate, the bottom plate, and the plurality of sidewalls thereby enclose the flow paths; a power supply coupled to the top plate and the bottom plate of at least one of the plurality of channels; an anode and a cathode coupled to the power supply, wherein the top plate of the at least one of the plurality of channels is coupled to a current receiving lead of the power supply thereby forming the cathode, and wherein the bottom plate of the at least one of the plurality of channels is coupled to a current delivering lead of the power supply thereby forming the anode; and a controller configured to selectively engage the power supply, wherein the power supply applies an electrical potential between the anode and the cathode when engaged.
