    Abstract: The invention disclosed relates to an electrochemical process for decreasing high levels of organic contaminants in metal plating baths. The process involves breaking down the organic contaminants in an electrochemical cell by electrochemical oxidation. The electrochemical cell includes an anode comprising an active material which is stable at low (acid) pH and at the high electrical potential required to break down the organic contaminants by oxidation. Typical examples of such anodes include a valve metal substrate coated with doped tin dioxide, lead dioxide, or platinum-based materials, the latter in some instances being coated on a high surface area valve metal substrate.

    Abstract: A process for continuous adiabatic nitration of toluene to mononitrotoluene (MNT). The process yields a product quality of MNT that is comparable to that obtained by isothermal production. The process uses excess toluene, with the reaction rate being controlled to maintain a residual of 0.003-0.102 wt % nitric acid in the spent acid and an orange to red color of the spent acid. Further process conditions include re-concentrated sulfuric acid at 83 to 99 degrees C. with a concentration of sulfuric acid from 66 to 70.5 wt %. This is mixed with nitric acid to generate a mixed acid with 1.0 to 3.8 wt % nitric acid and toluene is added at a rate of 1.1 to 1.71 moles toluene/mole nitric acid. The reactants are mixed in a reactor with an overall average mixing intensity of 5.8 to 19 W/kg of contained solution.

    Abstract: An electrochemical cell design is disclosed for the particular application of the electrochemical treatment of contaminants in water. The cell is designed to allow the treatment of low concentrations of contaminants in low conductivity water efficiently, and to be simple to fabricate. The design incorporates tapered inlet and outlet fluid flow manifolds so that the cell pressure drop will be almost entirely due to fluid contacting the electrodes, thus maximising the effective use of the system pump power. A short anode to cathode distance and thin working electrodes are used to minimise resistive electrical power losses. The parallel slacked arrangement of the electrodes and the smooth inlet and outlet designs leads to relatively even distributions of current density and mass transfer resulting in maximal utilisation of the entire active electrode surface area. The electrodes are connected internally in parallel in monopolar stack modules, and the modules are then connected externally in series, with insulating baffles to minimise current by-pass problems. This provides a simple cell construction (a minimum number of simple insulating baffles) while still simplifying the cell wiring and reducing the cell current demand (allowing lighter wiring to be used).
