PCT No. PCT/CA97/00122 Sec. 371 Date Aug. 17, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Aug. 17, 1998 PCT Filed Feb. 21, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO97/30941 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 28, 1997Waters contaminated by nitrogenous compounds such as nitrate, ammonium, etc., are treated by electrochemical transformation of the contaminant to nitrogen gas. Electrodes are placed in the contaminated water to form a cell, in which the voltage of one of the electrodes is set to the Eh voltage at which nitrogen gas is thermodynamically favored. The cell may be electrolytic or galvanic. |
