    Abstract: Ion exchange materials, as particulate and membranes, are modified by permanently attaching counter ions to a portion of the ion exchange sites. The permanent attachment of the counter ions forms semiconductor junctions which act as mini anodes, or cathodes, to significantly increase the ability to oxidize or reduce a species to be treated, or split water, in an electrolytic reactor. The non-converted transfer sites in the ion exchange material also significantly increase the mobility of the ionic species in the electrolyte. The ion exchange material may be a monobed of either modified anion exchange material or modified cation exchange material, or a suitable mixed bed of both, depending upon the application. When the anode is in direct contact with a modified cation exchange material and under the influence of direct current, free radical hydroxyl and regenerant hydrogen are formed. When the cathode is in direct contact with a modified anion exchange material and under the influence of direct current, free radical hydrogen and regenerant hydroxyl are formed. Alternatively, the modified ion exchange material can be separated from both the anode and the cathode, and regenerant hydrogen and hydroxyl are produced at the semiconductor junctions.

    Abstract: An electrode for use in electrochemical ion exchange which includes a hydrolysable metal phosphate such as zirconium phosphate (Zr(HPO.sub.4).sub.2) which has been hydrolysed at least in part is regenerated. The electrode is made the anode of an electrochemical cell in which the electrolyte is an aqueous solution containing one or more phosphate ions provided, for example, by a dissolved salt (eg Na.sub.3 PO.sub.4, Na.sub.2 HPO.sub.4 or NaH.sub.2 PO.sub.4) or orthophosphoric acid, or both. Preferably, the electrolyte is acidic (eg pH 2). Operation of the cell reverses the hydrolysis reaction and enhances the performance of the electrode.

The flow-through capacitor comprises a plurality of spirally-wound, stacked washer or rods to include a first electrically conductive backing layer, such as of graphite, and a first high surface area conductive layer secured to one side of the backing layer, such as carbon fibers, and a second high surface area conductive layer secured to the opposite side of the backing layer, the high surface area material layers arranged to face each other and separated by a nonconductive, ion-permeable spacer layer to insulate electrically the backing and conductive layer. The system includes a DC power source to charge the respective conductive layers with different polarities whereby a fluid-containing material passing through the column is purified by the electrically conductive, high surface area stationary phase and the retention thereof onto the high surface area layer and permitting, for example, the purification of aqueous solutions of liquids, such as salt, and providing for the recovery of a purified liquid.

    Abstract: An electric current is passed through a mixed solution containing a saccharide(s) and an organogermanium compound, in a compartment whose anode side is defined by an anion exchange membrane and whose cathode side is defined by a cation exchange membrane, to separate and remove said organogermanium compound. In the present invention, an organogermanium compound can be very effectively separated and recovered from a mixed solution containing a saccharide(s) and said organogermanium compound. The present invention is particularly effective for separation and recovery of an organogermanium compound from a reaction mixture obtained when a compound having an aldose structure is isomerized into a compound having a ketose structure in the presence of said organogermanium compound.
