Abstract

The electrosynthesis of H2O2 in aqueous solutions (pH 1–9) of mineralized liquid and solid bio-wastes (exometabolites) for their processing in closed life-support systems was studied. It was shown that H2O2 can be obtained in these solutions by electrochemical reduction of oxygen in carbon black gas diffuse electrodes to concentrations of over 2 M with current efficiency 80%. The composition of the solution was found to affect the accumulation of H2O2 during the synthesis. The solutions can be concentrated further to 19 M H2O2. The results showed that the electrolytic method is promising for preparing H2O2 for closed life-support systems.
