According to a study from Wuhan, People's Republic of China, "The internal-electrolysis (IE) process can be used as pretreatment to improve the biodegradability of yeast wastewater. The water before and after IE pretreatment was analyzed by UV, GPC, GC-MS to determine the changes in its chemical composition."
"The mechanism on the improvement of biodegradability by the IE process was discussed in two aspects according to the changes of chemical composition. (i) Some reactions occurred during the IE process, such as hydrolytic reaction, cracking, and redox reaction. Thus, the cyclic structure opened and changed into chains, and the macromolecular compounds were ...
