An application of reactor theory principles to the confinement of electrochemically generated unstable radical ions

Kinetic modeling of electrochemical degradation of phenol in a three-dimension electrode process

“…Removal of these refractory compounds becomes difficult and expensive when it is dealt with at a very low level of pollutants [4]. Effective electrochemical methods were also developed for the treatment of wastewater polluted by toxic and stable organic compounds [5][6][7][8][9][10]. Direct electrochemical techniques for water purification involve anodic or cathodic decomposition; however, these are commonly associated with anodic oxidation of water (release of O 2 ).…”

Thermal characteristics of a cell employed for the anodic oxidation of certain naphthalene derivatives

“…The electrochemical oxidation of naphthalene derivatives requires temperatures in the 40-60°C range, hence a relatively large Joule heat input is necessary, which also has to compensate for partial evaporation of the organic solvent (acetone), and heat loss through the cell boundaries to the ambient [1,2]. It is shown in this paper that, in spite of inherent complexities in establishing a rigorous heat balance, the increase in cell temperature with time past an initial period of electrolysis can be approximated reasonably well by a lumped parameter heat transport model, for the estimation of mean solvent evaporation rates.…”
