The Organic Oxidation by Nitrogen Compounds

Distribution of Nitrogen Ions Generated in the Electrochemical Oxidation of Nitrogen Containing Organic Compounds

The electro-oxidation, over platinized titanium and ruthenium oxide anodes, of nitrogen containing molecules (urea, reactive Blue 4 dye, acetonitrile, formamide, guanidine and pyridazine) was investigated, monitoring the products distribution. The Nmineralization leads to have inorganic pollutants (NH3/NH4 + and/or NO2 /NO3 ). Amidic and aminic compounds react both in homogeneous (acid hydrolys...

Catalytic Oxidation of Volatile Organic Compounds and Malodorous Organic Compounds

This thesis describes efforts made on the development of an existing catalytic incinerator. The development work, called process characterization, consists of four general parts. These are the development of measurement methodology, the studying of construction materials, the selection of suitable catalysts and the testing of the effects of process operation conditions. The two application area...

Utilization of Organic Nitrogen Compounds by Marine and Freshwater Bacteria

Reduced nitrogen species represent the largest pool of nitrogen in many aquatic systems, yet little is known about the chemical composition of this pool and the metabolic pathways required for its remineralization. The long residence time of this material in aquatic systems suggests that it is very refractory and relatively resistant to degradation by direct metabolism or extra-cellular enzymat...

Destruction of Volatile Organic Compounds by Catalytic Oxidation

Volatile organic compounds, emitted by a lot of sources, particularly from gasoline engines of automobiles, are air pollutants that give rise to deleterious health and environmental effects. Total catalytic oxidation is an attractive method in controlling these emissions due the great amounts of energy saved, by the moderate temperature involved. For wide implementation of catalytic combustion,...
