  Abstract

Decomposition of reactive organic compound dispersed in microemulsion media by hydroxide ions and proton ions generated during electrolysis was tried and the half-lifes for decomposition were compared. Absorbance of p-nitrophenoxide produced from the decomposition of p-nitrophenylacetate (PNPA) was followed to find the rate of decomposition. The applied voltage, temperature, and the amount of substrate were changed to see the effects on the decomposition rate. The advantages of electrolysis in microemulsion system were the high solubilizing capacity of substrate, easy control of decomposition rate, low operation cost, no need for any addition of chemicals, and no byproducts. The mechanism of decomposition and the application to water purification were discussed.
