Electrolytic wastewater treatment apparatus Abstract A method and apparatus for purifying aqueous effluent streams to reduce chemical oxygen demand thereof, where the method comprises direct oxidation of water-soluble organic material in an electrochemical cell that incorporates stainless steel electrodes, whose stability and lifetime are enhanced by inclusion of circulating metal chips. Claims What is claimed is: 1. An electrolytic oxidation process for purifying wastewater by oxidation of organic and oxidizable inorganic substances contained therein, said process comprising: flowing the wastewater into an electrolytic oxidation cell, where the cell comprises a stainless steel anode and cathode and contains iron chips, said chips being in electrical contact with the anode and prevented from making electrical contact with the cathode by a non-electrically-conductive, liquid-permeable barrier; applying a voltage across the electrodes to energize the electrolytic oxidation cell and effect electrolytic oxidation of organic and oxidizable inorganic substances in the wastewater; and discharging from the electrolytic...
