Abstract
Air contaminated with chemical and biological pollutants is purified by treating chemically and electrochemically in a closed system minimizing the generation of by-products for disposal. Pollutants are treated in a scrubber zone with a scrubber liquid-electrolyte comprising pollutant degrading metal ions or complexed with inert metal ions and degraded either in an electrolyzer zone or in both the scrubber and electrolyzer zones where spent scrubber liquid-electrolyte is regenerated for further cleaning.
