A phenomenological model for macroscopic deactivation of surface processes

Christos Comninellis, Hannes Bleuler, Rolf Wüthrich

There is a wide class of electrochemical systems which present a sudden transition from a high to a low reaction rate region in function of an external parameter. This sudden transition is accompanied by the growth of a surface structure responsible for de ...

Electrochemical treatment of industrial wastewater containing 5-amino-6-methyl-2-benzimidazolone: toward an electrochemical-biological coupling

César Pulgarin, Victor Sarria

We studied the electrochemical oxidation, on Pt anodes, of industrial wastewaters containing 5-amino-6-methyl-2-benzimidazolone (AMBI). Electrolysis of this non-biodegradable effluent produces simultaneous oxidation of AMBI and chloride ions. Highly oxidat ...
