Description:
Summary/Accomplishments (Outputs/Outcomes):
Conclusions:
All of the Phase I objectives were met: (1) NF of sea water to form a viable feedstock; (2) oxidation of the feedstock in a diamond-anode electrochemical cell; and (3) demonstration that the produced oxidant is capable of destroying refractory organic toxins. Technical feasibility has been readily demonstrated. Commercial feasibility will be demonstrated and proven with detailed analytical chemistry during the Phase II (if it is funded).
