| 20090152123 | Methods and Apparatus for Generating Oxidizing Agents - Contemplated devices and methods include an electrolytic cell having a cathode and a carbon felt anode, wherein the carbon felt anode is configured as a flow-through anode for an aqueous solution in which a contaminant is dissolved or dispersed. The cell is operated at a current density that promotes formation of oxidizing species in neutral pH to thus destroy the contaminant and at a flow rate sufficient to prevent oxidative damage of the carbon felt. | 06-18-2009 |
| 20090078581 | Configurations and Methods of Reduction of Lipoic Acid - Lipoic acid is electrochemically reduced to dihydrolipoic acid, preferably in a continuous manner and in a flow-through cell using a cathode that allows a two-electron transfer reaction in highly alkaline medium. In most preferred aspects, the reduced product is continuously removed by a membrane with preferential permeability for dihydrolipoic acid, and the cathode material is carbon felt. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20090014337 | Electrochemical Nitrate Destruction - Devices and methods are presented for removal and destruction of nitrate from water using an ion exchange medium from which the nitrate is eluted using brine, and in which the so generated eluent is sequentially reduced and oxidized in distinct compartments to form nitrogen from nitrate and ammonia, respectively. In especially preferred devices and methods, the reduced and oxidized eluent is re-reduced to electrochemically destroy hypohalites formed during oxidation. Among other advantages, contemplated devices and methods allow nitrate destruction with minimal concomitant production of nitrite and hypohalites. | 01-15-2009 |
