Process and apparatus for the destruction of organic solutions, in particular of complexing agents, from an aqueous solution such as radio-active effluent.

摘要

Destroying an organic solute in an aq. soln., comprises electrolysing the soln. in an electrolysis cell contg. an operating electrode, by applying to the electrode a potential sufficient to destroy the solute by electrolytic oxidn.. Periodically this potential or the direction of the intensity of the current passing through the cell, is modified in such a way as to cause periodic regeneration of the operating electrode.
