Use Rustum Roy's electrolysis method on other molecules?

[Mac29]

In reading the posts re:Rustum Roy and electrolysis on salt I wondered if that method would work on other molecules? Not thinking about energy in and out, just how that or other means to separate a molecule's atoms could solve some problems such as pollution? Also, use of the term 'burn'.

Thanks,

Mac

Can you please a link for the method? Rustum Roy was a physicist. Plus you seem to be speculating about pollution cleanup, so PF really wants documented science discussion, not speculation. So your question needs a little tune up, please. Thanks.

Sorry, maybe I thought general physics was general for physicsforum vs where this originated, in general discussion.
