Ion Radicals and Free Radicals in the Processes of the Electrochemical Conversion of CO2, SO2, NO and Freons to Valuable Organic Products

  • Chapter
Free Radicals in Biology and Environment

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASHT,volume 27))

Abstract

At present accelerating industry, power engineering, transport, and mankind’s other spheres of activity prompt the problem of irreversible environmental pollution and changed to pose an ever-greater challenge globally. The atmospheric pollution is primarily accounted for by carbon, sulfur, and nitrogen oxides, plus freons and other compounds falling into the so-called “small” molecules. Regrettably, the traditional methods of neutralizing such substances (thermal, thermocatalytic ones, acid gas absorption by strong bases, etc.) require considerable power consumption, costly catalysts and reagents and fail to give products that are candidates for recycling.
