Electrolytic manganese dioxide (EMD) was prepared by using gas diffusion electrode (GDE) instead of traditional hydrogen evolution cathode. Sulfate acid’s effects on the cell voltage, the current efficiency, the electro-catalytic activity and the lifetime of GDE are studied. The results show that as the concentration of sulfuric acid increases, the current efficiency increases, while the cell v...

Depending on power supply and treatment retention time, the electrolytic treatment can produce an effluent with a quality equivalent to or better than the control treatment of alum. A recent study of electrolytic treatment of laundry waste for water reuse has shown that because of the high concentration of total solids, the reuse of this effluent might be objectionable due to the extra consumpt...

An absolute determination of aqueous electrolytic conductivity has been made for 0.01 molal (m) and 0.1 m potassium cliloride solutions, over the temperature range of 0 to 50 °C in 5 degree intervals. A cell with a removable center section of accurately known length and area was used for the measurements. Values were adjusted to be in conformity with the ITS-90 temperature scale. The overall un...

Cell loss in most adult vertebrate brain regions is thought to be irreversible. Here, we explore the effects of electrolytic lesions on the induction of cell proliferation and newborn neurons in the ventromedial nuclei (VMN) of the hypothalamus in young and adult ring doves. The hypothalamus does not normally recruit new neurons. Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) and tritiated thymidine ([3H]Thy) were u...

Anomalous excess heat in Pd|D2O+H2SO4 electrolytic cells was confirmed using an accurate method of heat measurement, Seebeck Envelope Calorimetry. A cell was placed in the calorimeter, which measures the output heat flux directly and avoids many of the problems other methods have. The maximum excess power thus far was 1.3 W (or 11 W cm3) with input power of 13 W at a current density of 0.4 A c...

Electrochemical generation of free nitric oxide (NO) from nitrite (NO(2)(-)) catalyzed by iron meso-tetrakis(4-N-methylpyridiniumyl)porphyrin, [Fe(III)(TMPyP)](5+), has been developed in this study. To obtain free NO, a cathodic electrolysis and an anodic electrolysis were performed in two connected flow electrolytic cells in sequence. The flow electrolytic cell upstream was used for cathodic e...
