Present invention relates to method of removing cations from water and process arrangement for performing the method. The method comprises containing cations selected from a group consisting of Se, As, Sb, Cr, Mn, Mo, W, V, Te, P, Si comprising a) preparing an iron precipitate-containing sludge by electrochemical water treatment, wherein the water is led through an electrochemical water treatment unit, wherein electricity dissolves iron from an anode to the water thereby forming an iron precipitate-containing sludge to which cations to be removed are adsorbed/co-precipitated, c) separating solids from the obtained sludge thereby producing treated water having a reduced cation content and solids comprising iron precipitate compounds and adsorbed/co-precipitated cation compounds. |
