Effects of carbonate on the electrolytic removal of ammonia and urea from urine with thermally prepared IrO2 electrodes

Christos Comninellis, Agnieszka Kapalka, Véronique Amstutz, Kai Udert

Recent studies have shown that electrolysis can be an efficient process for nitrogen removal from urine. These studies have been conducted with urea solutions or fresh urine, but urine collected in NoMix toilets and urinals has a substantially different co ...

Enhanced ammonia oxidation on BDD induced by inhibition of oxygen evolution reaction

Christos Comninellis, Agnieszka Kapalka, Nina-Luisa Michels

Electrochemical oxidation of ammonia (NH3 and NH4+) on boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrode was studied using differential electrochemical mass-spectrometry (DEMS) and chronoamperometry. Electro-oxidation of ammonia induces inhibition of the oxygen evolutio ...

Electrochemical comparison between IrO2 prepared by thermal treatment of iridium metal and IrO2 prepared by thermal decomposition of H2IrCl6 solution

Christos Comninellis, Agnieszka Kapalka, Stéphane Fierro

The surface redox activities, the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), the oxidation of formic acid (FA) and the anodic stability have been investigated and compared on IrO2 electrodes prepared by two techniques: the thermal decomposition of H2IrCl6 precursor ...

Ammonia oxidation to nitrogen mediated by electrogenerated active chlorine on Ti/PtOx-IrO2

Christos Comninellis, Agnieszka Kapalka, Nina-Luisa Michels

The electrochemical oxidation of ammonia (NH3 and/or NH4+) in the presence of chloride was investigated on a Ti/PtOx-IrO2 electrode. It was shown that ammonia is effectively removed from solution via electrogenerated active chlorine. Based on mass balances ...

Electrochemical behavior of ammonia at Ni/Ni(OH)2 electrode

Christos Comninellis, Agnieszka Kapalka

The electrochemical oxidation of ammonia was investigated on a Ni/Ni(OH)(2) electrode prepared by potential cycling of a Ni electrode in 1 M NaClO4. It was found that oxidation of ammonia is strongly pH dependent and proceeds mainly at pH values above 7. T ...

Microelectrode-array of IrO2 prepared by thermal treatment of pure Ir

Christos Comninellis, Agnieszka Kapalka, Stéphane Fierro, Olivier Frey

In this paper, the IrO2 electrode preparation technique consisting in thermal treatment of pure Ir in air was used in order to produce an IrO2-based microelectrode-array (TOIROF-MEA) with low capacitive background current. The TOIROF-MEA was characterized ...

A DEMS study of methanol and formic acid oxidation on boron-doped diamond electrode

Christos Comninellis, Agnieszka Kapalka, György Foti

The electrochemical oxidation of methanol and formic acid in 1 M HClO4 is studied on boron-doped diamond electrode using differential electrochemical mass spectrometry (DEMS). DEMS is used to identify products and intermediates of the reaction monitored on ...
