“…Electrolysis, the use of electrical energy to drive an otherwise unfavorable chemical reaction, is a developing technology for environmental remediation. Recent examples of its use include treatment of chromium (7), cyanides (8), ethanol (9), EDTA (10), dye wastes (11), methanol (12), and landfill leachates (13). Attractions of electrochemical technology include the low costs of electricity compared with chemicals and the "green" issue of using only electrons as reagents (14).…”

This work involves electrolysis of nitrotoluene congeners, which are persistent pollutants that enter the environment as a consequence of their manufacture and use as explosives. Reduction to aminotoluenes occurred with high current efficiency at a variety of cathodes, at potentials -0.5 to -1 V vs SCE. The products were formed in high chemical yield and with excellent mass balance. Preliminary experiments were also carried out to find methods of removing the electrolysis products from solution by oxidative oligomerization. The most satisfactory method was partial reoxidation at a Ti/IrO2 anode, suggesting an overall remediation technology in which reduction is followed by reoxidation of the spent catholyte in the anode compartment of the same electrolytic cell.

The second part of this review considers electrochemical methods for the treatment of organic and inorganic species, the treatment of flue gases and waste gases, and membrane-based electrochemical techniques. These methods include both direct and indirect oxidation and reduction methods for toxic organics and cyanides.Membrane-based methods include electrodialysis, electro-osmosis and electrophoresis. Other aspects considered are electrosorption, electrochemical ion-exchange, electroflotation, and electrochemically-enhanced ultra$ltation.
