Abstract

Waste biomass oxidation was carried out on platinum and lead dioxide anodes using a electrolyte. Total organic carbon in the electrolyte was reduced by 95%. The use of ultrasound and the addition of the Ce3+/Ce4+ redox couple to the electrolyte enhanced the rates of waste oxidation. Urine‐waste biomass mixtures were electrolyzed indirectly through the anodic generation of OCl−; constituted only 0.1% of the evolved gases. These oxidation treatments offer a means of human waste disposal without producing undesirable chemicals such as , , , , and in the effluent gas.
