We show that energetic charged particles are produced during electrolysis of a D2O solution of Li2SO4 in a cell with a platinum anode and a palladium cathode. CR-39 plastic detectors, designed for recording alpha particles from radon decay, were immersed in the electrolyte during electrolysis. They recorded significantly larger numbers of energetic particle tracks than were recorded by control ...

► Microbial salinity-reduction electrolysis cells (MSCs) can treat salinewastewater. ► In MSCs, organic matter and salt ions were removed simultaneously. ► Ion-exchange membranes were not damaged for three months in MSCs. ► Exoelectrogens can generate high currents with salinities up to 36 g/L TDS. ⁎ Corresponding author.

This paper deals with the application of electrolysis technology for the selective control of marine algal species. The sensitivity of different marine algal species to electrolysis may be different due to their size and structural differences. Electrolysis experiments were conducted using four algal species, namely Chlorella spp., Chaetoceros spp., Isochrysis spp. and Tetraselmis spp. Batch an...

Ammonia removal from wastewater was successfully achieved by simultaneous nitrification and denitrification (SND) in a double-chamber microbial electrolysis cell (MEC). The MEC operations at different applied voltages (0.7 to 1.5 V) initial ammonia concentrations (30 150 mg/L) were conducted order evaluate their effects on performance batch mode. maximum efficiency of 96.8% obtained the anode V...
