Abstract
A novel electrolytic method has been developed for destroying organic matter in urine. A combination of potassium permanganate, sulfuric aci d and nitric acid has yielded about 99% destruction in initial organic content of urine within two hours when electrolysis is carried out wi th an applied voltage of about 2.5 V, while maintaining a current dens ity of 8.23 mA/cm(2) at 373 K.
