Abstract
Electrolysis of water generates hydroxide ions at the cathode that can be used for the hydrolysis of reactive organic compounds that are used as pesticides or nerve agents. Electrolytic decomposition of reactive compounds was tested with our small-scale cyclic system that contained surface-modified ion-exchange resins with n-hexadecyl chain and 2-hydroxylethyl group. Such a system could eliminate the need for addition of cationic surfactant and catalyst for hydrolysis, while maintaining high and constant reactivity, and did not leave any remaining reactant or byproduct after hydrolysis. Comparisons among surface-modified resins are made, together with a brief discussion of the reasons for different reactivity and general application to purification of water resources.
