  • Electrocatalytic bio-oil and wastewater treatment
    Patent number: 12448306
    Abstract: An anode, a flow cell including the anode, and a method for electrocatalytic treatment of bio-oil and/or wastewater are disclosed. The anode comprises RuO2 particles on a titanium support. The method includes flowing a process stream through the flow cell in the absence of added hydrogen, at a temperature of 0° C. to 50° C. and atmospheric pressure, and applying a potential across the flow cell such that the anode is positive with respect to the cathode, thereby electrocatalytically oxidizing compounds in the process stream to produce a treated process stream at the anode and generating hydrogen gas as a byproduct at the cathode.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 26, 2021
    Date of Patent: October 21, 2025
    Assignee: Battelle Memorial Institute
    Inventors: Juan A. Lopez-Ruiz, Jonathan D. Egbert, Charles J. Freeman, Oliver Y. Gutiérrez Tinoco, Jamelyn D. Holladay, Daniel T. Howe, Yang Qiu, Ismael A. Rodriguez Perez
