Introduction

Marcel Leroux

This work provides a proof-of-principle demonstration that Ti(III)-catalyzed electrochemical techniques could potentially be used for reduction of ClO in small waste streams, such as the regeneration of selective anion-exchange resins that are loaded with ClO. The technique may not be directly applied for the treatment of large volumes of ClO-contaminated water at relatively low concentrations because of its slow reaction kinetics and the use of chemical reagents. Further studies are needed to optimize the reaction conditions in order to achieve a complete reduction of ClO and the regeneration of spent resin beds. Alternative complexing and reducing agents may be used to enhance the reaction completeness of sorbed ClO in the resin and to overcome potential clogging of micropores within the resin beads resulting from the precipitation of TiO.

History of the notion of global warming

Marcel Leroux

The notion of ‘global warming’, which teaches that humans are responsible for climate change, has been forming for more than a century and a half, at first very slowly, and then, since the 1985 second Villach Conference, very rapidly. Since 1985 to the present day, and more especially since 1988, the ‘certainty’ that man is an essential factor in climate change, indeed the principal factor, seems established. The expected global warming is bound to bring in its wake the modification of various elements of the climate, and meteorological parameters will be increasingly modified.

This assurance emerges in the conclusions of the IPCC, in its : a result of the previously mentioned , a blending of scientific and ecological processes driven by international politics.

Conclusions of the IPCC (Working Group I)

Marcel Leroux

This work provides a proof-of-principle demonstration that Ti(III)-catalyzed electrochemical techniques could potentially be used for reduction of ClO in small waste streams, such as the regeneration of selective anion-exchange resins that are loaded with ClO. The technique may not be directly applied for the treatment of large volumes of ClO-contaminated water at relatively low concentrations because of its slow reaction kinetics and the use of chemical reagents. Further studies are needed to optimize the reaction conditions in order to achieve a complete reduction of ClO and the regeneration of spent resin beds. Alternative complexing and reducing agents may be used to enhance the reaction completeness of sorbed ClO in the resin and to overcome potential clogging of micropores within the resin beads resulting from the precipitation of TiO.
