Electrochemistry and ECA
-
Electrochemistry is the part of science which deals with the electrical currents, or voltages, and, and with the mutual conversion of chemical and electrical energy.
-
ECA is based on a new , previously unknown law of anomalous changes of reaction and catalytic abilities of aqueous solutions subjected to electrochemical unipolar ( either anodic or cathode ) treatment . ECA of solutions is necessarily associated with alteration of their chemical composition, acidity and (or) alkalinity within a wide range .
That is why ECA application makes it possible :
-
- to exclude from the routine technological processes the regulation of solution properties with costly reagents;
-
-to improve quality of the treated substances ;
-
-to reduce the number and technological operations ;
-
to decrease their-consuming nature;
-
to facilitate and simplify processes of water and sewage purification.
-
Unlike well-known electrochemical reactions, in the processes of electrochemical activation initial substances are diluted aqua-saline (brine) solution and mains water. The eventual ECA products are not concentrated chemical substances , but activated (Anolyte and Catholyte) solutions : low mineralised liquids in a metastable state, manifesting increased chemical activity. Synthesis of electrochemically activated solutions is only possible when unipolar electrochemical exposure is combined with treatment of as possible micro volumes of liquid in high voltage electric field of a double electric layer near the electrode's surface. The above stated conditions of producing activated solutions can be realised only in a special diaphragmatic cells ( round or square) which are the key element of every Envirolyte of ECO unit
-
made to last Envirolyte & ECO units have been designed for continual use. The use of high-grade materials without any fragile or moving components make reliable units
-
unique solutions Two solutions generated by Envirolyte units are unique in their own way . Anolyte with pH controlled in the range 2.0-8.5 and ORP=700mV-+1200mV has a great biocide potential. Catholyte is a perfect washing liquid and an important means to increase pH .
-
no more chemicals There is a wide range of potential disinfection applications of Envirolyte units. The problems associated with handling and storage of chemical based systems provide a number of opportunities . The Envirolyte units can largely overcome Health and Safety measures as well as Environmental pollution problems associated with traditional chemical systems .
Drawing of Envirolyte operational principle
-
The electrochemically activated solutions produced by Envirolyte units (Anolyte and Catholyte) are channeled through canals and chambers and separated by the membranes . This unique patented process allows more even distribution of electrolyte (brine solution )within the volumes of the chambers and reduces the risk of the formation of stagnant zones when flow rates of electrolyte are high . the construction of the diaphragmatic cells also allows highly effective evacuation of products of electrochemical and chemical reactions from the chambers.
-
why envirolyte? Reliable units to produce powerful , non toxic, non hazardous cold disinfection and sterilization agents with stable parameters, on site and on demand plus incorporated self-cleaning process give the Envirolyte Industries International Ltd. a strong technical and commercial edge over competition .
-
The life -time problem of degradation of electrodes has been overcome by means of a unique process and the strength of the current they can withstand has at last been increased considerably . A patented self cleaning process has been designed to minimize the use of acids in the cleaning of electrodes .
