The specific embodiment
In an exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, a kind of method and apparatus is provided, described method and apparatus uses injected liquid, anolyte and/or negative electrode liquid or such liquid of electrochemical activation (EA): described liquid was both injected and be anolyte and/or negative electrode liquid as the electrochemical activation of unique or main cleaning liquid, used traditional surfactant/cleaning agent to eliminate substantially or fully during cleaning or during the sterilization.
1, the surfactant that in traditional clean liquid, uses
Traditional clean liquid generally includes water and chemical surfactant.As used herein, term " surfactant " or " surface-active reagent " refer to conveniently in surface or absorption at the interface and the hydrophilic complex of assembling under particular concentration and temperature.Chemicals form the surfactant that adheres to specific molecular structure.Described molecule is formed by at least two compositions, and one is water miscible (hydrophily), and another is being not easy property of water (hydrophobicity).In oil, component is respectively lipophilic and lipophobia.These two are balanced so that surfactant is realized required performance.
With the cleaning equipment that comprises mechanical wiper (for example moving hard base plate cleaner), a benefit that comprises surfactant is to have the liquid gasification that effectively will use as the ability of foam, the clean liquid of foamed is applied to hard backplate surface in cleaning, brush the clean liquid work that makes foamed with wiping, and before reclaiming contaminated solution, remove the foam in the clean liquid of foamed substantially.In operation, the degasification of gassiness clean liquid realizes rapidly by the brush contact.As a result, relatively little foam is transferred in the collection box.
Basically there is four types surfactant, anion surfactant for example-(1), described anion surfactant is decomposed into negatively charged ions (anion) and positive charge ion (cation) in moisture environment, wherein anion becomes the carrier of some surface active property, (2) cationic surfactant, described cationic surfactant also is decomposed into anion and cation, and wherein said anion becomes the carrier of some surface active property; (3) non-ionic surface active agent, described non-ionic surface active agent is a surface reactive material, it is not decomposed into ion in moisture environment; And (4) amphoteric surfactant, both comprised positive charge in described amphoteric surfactant in appearing at moisture environment time the, the identical surfactant molecule and also comprised negative electrical charge and can have anion or cation attribute according to the pH value in composition and condition, for example aqueous environment.
Usually, two main tasks that are used for the clean Surface active medium comprise: (1) reduces the surface tension of water to obtain wetness attributes and to discharge soil from described surface; And (2) disperse full particle and pigment.When it is used to produce effective clean surface activating agent and cleaning agent, exist many variablees to work.Usually, important parameters is time, temperature, inflation or on-inflatable system, concentration, dirt and mechanical treatment.
2, EA liquid and injection (sparging)
Have been found that electrochemical activation (EA) water and other EA liquid can be with traditional purging system the surfactant based liquid of substituted chemistry or clean the surface of for example hard and/or soft seat except described chemical surfactant base fluid body.The example of EA " water " as main clean liquid used in following discussion.But EA liquid or solution that any other is suitable can use in other embodiments.
As used herein, term " electrochemically activated liquid " or " EA liquid " for example refer to the reactive water with raising, described water comprises (1) reaction type, and/or (2) formed metastable (activation) ion and free radical under non-equilibrium condition, after the form with certain voltage potential or electric current is exposed to electrochemical energy.Term " activation " for example refers in the electrochemistry or electric physical state or the condition that are exposed to the unnecessary built-in potential energy that the heat power non-equilibrium condition obtained after cycle regular hour.By the transition gradually from metastable state to the heat power poised state, metastable ion and free radical are along with the time is lax.
As used herein, term " electrochemical activation " for example refers to such process, in this process, the material under non-equilibrium charge-transfer device, in the metastable state is given near generation in during the specific charge zone of electrode surface at the liquid of ion that will comprise dissolved substance and molecule.
Under the situation that EA water is made, the original liquid source that is used to form EA water can comprise, for example: (1) normal, untreated running water or other common obtainable water; (2) pure water, a kind of or more kinds of electrolyte can add in the described pure water; (3) chemically treated running water; And (4) other comprise the aqueous solution of suitable electrolyte concentration.In one embodiment, in one or more kinds of electrolyte be added in the pure water (perhaps other aqueous solution) to obtain greater than zero and to be no more than 0.1 mole every liter electrolyte concentration.Within this scope or outside other concentration can be used for other embodiment.Suitable electrolytical example comprises chloride salt, nitrate, carbonate or soluble other salt (perhaps by other liquid of electrochemical activation) in water.Chloride salt comprises for example sodium chloride (for example pure NaCl), potassium chloride, magnesium chloride, calcium chloride etc.Term " electrolyte " refers to when being dissolved into water or being decomposed into any material of two or more a plurality of ions during with any material of electrical conduction current in solution.
With non-EA water than the time, the EA glassware for drinking water has improved cleaning function and health ability.EA water is also different on molecular level and electron level with water routine or untreated.
Further find, can use injection apparatus to come EA water (perhaps other are with injected liquid) is increased fine bubble, thereby generation will be transferred to the surface that will be cleaned or article and be used for the clean liquid of cleaning course.For example, described liquid can be before liquid be become anolyte and catholyte by electrochemical activation or is injected afterwards.Resulting clean liquid makes things convenient for effective infiltration of backplate surface.If the use reacting gas, oxygen for example, by reducing the surface tension of liquid, described oxygen bubbles can further improve the wetting property of liquid, and can react cleaning and/or the sanitation performance that further improves described liquid.
If spray the liquid that is treated for cleaning, for example, by machinery and/or electrical method, before by electrochemical activation, can assist to produce super oxygenation EA liquid by oxygen (perhaps other gases) grade of spraying the increase that is produced in the electrochemical activation process, described EA liquid is used for improved cleaning or health ability.Described super oxygenation EA water comprises the oxygen of higher level, and owing to have the metastable ion of discrete range and reactive free radical by electrochemical activation.Final result is electrochemical activation foam or the reactant gas with improved cleaning and/or health ability.
3, be used to produce the forcing function generator of EA liquid
Fig. 1 has shown the example of forcing function generator (reactor) 10, and described forcing function generator 10 can be used to produce EA liquid.Described term " forcing function generator " and " reactor " are interchangeable herein.Forcing function generator 10 comprises one or more a plurality of electrochemical activation (EA) unit 12, and described unit 12 receives by supply lines 16,17,18 from fluid supply 14 and supplies with water (perhaps other will be treated for the liquid of cleaning).Described fluid supply 14 can comprise case or other solution memories, perhaps can comprise the counterpart or other inlets that are used for receiving from external source liquid.In one embodiment, supply with water and comprise and contain water complex, conventional running water for example, the described water complex that contains comprises and is not more than 1.0 moles every liter salt.In another embodiment, the described water complex that contains comprises and is not more than 0.1 mole every liter salt.All comprise containing water complex and can be used for additional embodiments greater than 1 mole of every liter of salt.
Term " running water " refers to from public work facility, storage device, well etc., any common family or the obtainable water of commercial use.Normal running water typically comprises the salt less than 0.1 mole every liter concentration.Deionized water or wherein the insignificant water of ion component preferably still less because ion works in the electrochemical activation of water.As discussed above, the liquid complex that also has outside liquid complex except normal running water or the normal running water can be used as processed liquid, described liquid is used for cleaning and/or health, and is used for improved cleaning and/or health ability by electrochemical activation.
Each EA unit 12 electrochemically activates by utilizing electrolysis to small part and supplies with water, and produces EA water with the form of acid anolyte compound 20 and alkaline catholyte compound 22.Term " acid anolyte ", " EA anolyte ", " EA oxidize water " and " anolyte compound " are used in detail specifications interchangeably.Similarly, term " alkaline catholyte ", " EA reductive water ", " EA catholyte " use in similar specification interchangeably with " catholyte compound ".
In one embodiment, each EA unit 12 has one or more a plurality of anode chamber 24 and one or more a plurality of cathode chamber 26 (only having shown), described anode chamber 24 and cathode chamber 26 exchange film 27 separately by ion, and for example cation or anion exchange film.One or more a plurality of anion electrode 30 and cation electrode 32 (in each shown electrode one) are separately positioned in each anode chamber 24 and each cathode chamber 26.Anode electrode and cathode electrode 30,32 can be from any suitable material manufacturings, for example titanium or be coated with aforementioned metal (for example platinum) titanium or any other suitable electrode material.Described electrode and each chamber can have any suitable shape and structure.For example, electrode can be flat, coaxial plate, bar or its combination.For example, each electrode can have solid construction or can have one or more a plurality of hole, for example metallic sieve.In addition, a plurality of unit 12 can for example be one another in series or be connected in parallel.
For example, in one embodiment, power supply is applied to described plate with the voltage of supplying with under metastable state.Described power supply comprises the DC/DC converter, and described converter uses pulse width modulation (PWM) control scheme to controlling voltage and current output.The DC/DC converter uses roughly 15kHz pulse to come antianode and negative electrode to produce required voltage in the scope of 5V to 25V, and for example the voltage of 15V, power reach about 120-150 watt.Load cycle depends on required voltage and current output.For example, the load cycle of DC/DC converter can be 90%.As following detailed explanation, if desired, power supply can be configured to each polarity of metastable state voltage 5 seconds, exchange with metastable state voltage power supply 5 seconds on relative polarity then.
The power supply of other types also can use, described power supply can be pulse or be not pulse, and on other voltages and power bracket.Described parameter is to use ad hoc type.
Supply with water and 14 supply to anode chamber 24 and cathode chamber 26 by supplying with water supply lines 16 from the source, described supply lines 16 can branch into anode supply lines or collector 17 and negative electrode supply lines or collector 18.Described anode supply lines 17 will be supplied with water and supply to each anode chamber 24, and negative electrode supply lines 18 will be supplied with water and supply to each cathode chamber.
Exchange at cation under the situation of film, when crossing anode 30 or negative electrode 32 and apply the dc voltage electromotive force, for example at the about 5V voltage to the scope of about 25V, appear at cation in the anode chamber 24 at first and cross ion and exchange film 27 and move towards negative electrode 32, the anion in the anode chamber 24 moves towards anode 30 simultaneously.Similarly, the cation that appears in the cathode chamber 26 moves towards negative electrode 32.But the anion that appears in the cathode chamber 26 can not exchange film by cation, and therefore keeps being limited within the cathode chamber 26.
In addition, the hydrone that contacts with anode 30 is changed into oxygen (O2) and hydrogen ion (H by electrochemistry oxygen in anode chamber 24
+), and the hydrone that contacts with negative electrode 32 is reduced to hydrogen (H2) and hydroxyl ion (OH in cathode chamber 26
-).Hydrogen ion in the anode chamber 24 is allowed to exchange film 27 by cation and enters cathode chamber 26, and in cathode chamber 26, hydrogen ion is reduced to hydrogen, and the oxygen in the anode chamber 24 is to supplying with the water oxygenation to form anolyte 20 simultaneously.In addition, because common running water typically comprises sodium chloride and/or other chlorides, the chloride that cation 30 oxidations occur is to form chlorine.As a result, produce the chlorine of a great deal of, and the pH of anolyte compound 20 is along with the time becomes acidity gradually.
As mentioned above, the hydrone that contacts with negative electrode 32 is hydrogen and hydroxyl ion (OH by electrochemical reduction
-), the cation when applying voltage potential, in the anode chamber 24 exchanges film 27 by cation and enters negative electrode 32 simultaneously.These cations are associated with the hydroxyl ion that produces at anode 32 places for ion ground and can obtain, and hydrogen typically becomes bubble and flees from described cathode chamber 26 described surface simultaneously, and is as above indicated by arrow 34.As a result, the hydroxyl ion of a great deal of is along with the time assembles in cathode chamber 26, and with cationoid reaction to form alkaline hydrated oxide.In addition, hydroxide keeps being limited to cathode chamber 26, does not allow the negative electrical charge hydroxyl ion to exchange film by cation because cation exchanges film.As a result, the hydroxide of a great deal of produces in cathode chamber 26, and the pH value of catholyte compound 22 is along with the time becomes alkalescence gradually.
Because hydrogen 34 is easy to escape from cathode chamber 26, the electrochemical reaction of forcing function generator 10 never reaches balance.As a result, the metastable state ion of the kind of the reaction of the non-equilibrium condition of the electrolytic process in forcing function generator 10 permission in anode chamber 24 and cathode chamber 26 and the formation of free radical.
The electrochemical activation process is typically recalled (at anode 30 places) or electronics by electronics and is introduced (at negative electrode 32 places) and take place, and this causes supplying with the change of biochemistry (comprise structure, energy with the catalysis) performance of water.Can believe, supply with the activation that becomes of proximate portion that water (anolyte or catholyte) can reach the electrode surface of very high level in electric-field intensity.This zone can be called electric double layer (EDL).
For example, alternatively, comprise deionized water and reach containing water complex and can being incorporated in anode chamber and the cathode chamber 24,26 of 0.1 mole of every liter of salt (for example 0.1 mole of every liter of sodium chloride).Sodium chloride is decomposed into positive charge sodium ion (Na fully
+) and negative electrical charge chlorion (Cl
-).Sodium ion and chlorion are by hydrone and hydrate.Appearing at positive charge sodium ion in the water moves simultaneously negative chlorion towards negative electrode 32 and moves towards anode 30.
Water is oxidized to oxygen at anode 30 and closes hydrogen ion and be reduced to hydroxyl ion at negative electrode 32 places and close hydrogen.Settle near or therefore can be associated to form NaOH at the lip-deep sodium ion of negative electrode 32 with the hydroxyl ion ion of negative electrical charge.As a result, cathode chamber 26 comprises water and hydroxide, and this causes the increase of pH value, and water is along with the time becomes alkalescence gradually.
Similarly, appear at chlorion in the anode chamber 24 electrochemistry oxygen that becomes and turn to chlorine.The hydrogen ion or other cations that appear in the anode chamber 32 comprise chlorine and the oxygen that causes the pH value to reduce along with the time.
As above mentioned, hydrogen is easy to escape from contain water complex; Therefore, electrochemical reaction can not reach balance.As a result, the non-equilibrium condition of the electrolytic process in forcing function generator 10 continues to allow concentrating and the metastable state ion in anode chamber 24 and cathode chamber 26 and the formation of free radical of reaction kind.
In another embodiment, in the electrode 30,32 or the two can silver coating.Alternatively, for example extra electrode can add chamber 12 to, and described chamber 12 is coated with or is embedded with silver.In use, silver slowly dissolves, and discharges anion (for example silver-colored nanoparticle) thus in anolyte and/or catholyte.Anion can help to increase the antiseptic property of the EA liquid that is produced.
4, ion exchanges film
As mentioned above, ion exchange film 27 can comprise that cation exchanges film or anion exchanges film.Exchange at cation under the situation of film, described film can be the monofilm form that obtains from for example a kind of perfluor ionomer resin (perfluoroionomer resin).Alternatively, for example, anion exchange film 27 can be the form from the two membranes of identical or different perfluor ionomer resin acquisition.Other materials with different number target zones also can use.In addition, described film is strengthened by pore structure or body usually, and described structure is made so that sufficient mechanical to be provided by for example polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).
For example cation exchange film comprises that anion exchanges the (SO of family
3 -Perhaps-COO
-), described family covalency joins polymer backbone to.During operation, the ion salt in the water is decomposed into cation and anion.Described cation is called gegenion, and anion is called the coion that cation exchanges film simultaneously.
Under the potential gradient in appearing at electrochemical cell, with the Na of hydrone gathering
+And H
+Ion transmits towards the negative electrical charge cation by film, and coion (Cl
-And OH
-) transmit towards the positive charge anode.
Even exchanging film, cation optionally transmits Na
+, other cations and hydrone still suppress Cl
-And OH
-The diffusion of ion, some hydroxide anions will still can exchange the film migration by cation.Main net result is the Cl in anode chamber 24
-And the Na in cathode chamber 26
+(and to the H of degree still less
+) more than needed, and from anolyte 20 to catholyte 22 Cl
-And from catholyte 22 to anolyte 20 OH
-Anionic extremely low diffusion.In one embodiment, in order to limit or prevent the migration of hydroxyl ion, the side of the perfluor sulfate membrane of contact catholyte 22 can cover with one deck perfluor charcoal hydracid polymer (perfluorocarbohylyc acid polymer).
Exchange the ionic charge of bonding in the film at cation and pass through H
+, Li
+, Na
+, K
+Etc. the equivalent electric charge of the equivalent counter ion counterionsl gegenions of form and balance.Cation exchanges film and typically works when abundant and hydrate.When polymer was placed in the water, swelling polymer became flexible and the permission ion moves freely under the effect of voltage potential or by diffusion.As a result, can believe that the performance of cation exchange film is as the ion conductor in the same electric field and can transmit cation with high selectivity.
Also can think hydrogen (R-SO
3H) and sodium (R-SO
3Na) the strong resin height of form decomposes and interchangeable Na
+And H
+Be easy to obtain on whole pH scope, exchanging.Therefore, exchange ability and therefore treatment effeciency do not depend on the pH value.But, think that the weak carboxylic acids of hydrogen (R-COOH) and sodium (R-COONa) form dissociates not high and depends on very much pH.As a result, the exchange ability of weak carboxylic acids is that extremely pH is dependent, because treatment effeciency also is such when such film uses.
The operation that cation exchanges film also is following function: (1) ionic conductivity or the cationic whole transmission by described film; (2) ion current density; (3) the ion transfer number or the electric current that carry for total specific ion that applies electric current of oil phase; (4) spine polymer; (5) porosity of film; (6) comprise the equivalent weight or the weight of dry polymeric of one mole sulfonic acid family with gram; (7) exchange the sum that obtainable ion exchanges the chemistry equivalence of ability or sulfonic acid family for the Unit Weight or the unit volume of every fluoropolymer resin; (8) by the adsorbed aquation of polymer or the water of percentage; And/or (9) water transmission.
Can be used in the Flemion film of Nafion film that example that suitable cation in the forcing function generator 10 exchanges film comprises Dupont, Japanese Asahi Glass company, the Aciplex film of Japanese Asahi ChemicalIndustries company and the Dow film of U.S. Dow Chemical company.The example of appropriate functional generator is included in Emco Tech " JP102 " unit that finds within the JP2000 ALKABLUE LX, and this Emco Tech company from the yeupdong in Gyeonggi of Korea S Guangzhou can obtain.It is 62mmx109mmx0.5mm to about 5.0, unit size that this specific unit has direct current scope 27V, pH scope about 10, and five battery lead plates.The forcing function generator of other types also can be used, and described forcing function generator can have various standards.
5, the performance of EA water output
Electrochemical activation within the forcing function generator 10 produces and can be used to the EA water that cleans and/or sterilize.EA water respectively in the anode chamber 24 and the efferent of cathode chamber 26 form of sentencing acid anolyte 20 or alkaline catholyte 22 produce.
A, anolyte
During the electrochemical activation of water, anolyte 20 also can comprise many metastable state ion that produce at anode 30 places and reaction free radical molecule.These molecules can comprise: O

The chlorine of molecular forms also can react and form hypochlorous acid and OCl
-Other ions of ion.These OCl
-Further oxidation and become chlorate ions (ClO of ion
3 -) and high chloro acid ion (HClO
4 -).Chlorine dioxide also can obtain by oxidation chlorination sodium and hypochlorous acid.In addition, many reactions that other depend on pH obtain metastable state and/or reactive, as to comprise chlorine molecule, ion and free radical very widely.Except antiseptic property, the chlorion in acid a little anolyte solution 20 can with the reactive metal oxide in the lip-deep squamous deposit that will be cleaned, this assistance removes the squamous deposit.
B, catholyte
Because the result that the electrochemistry of the water of close negative electrode exposes, its redox potential reduces, and it obtains antioxidant properties.Catholyte 22 is alkaline, the pH scope of catholyte solution from about 8 to about 12 or be from 9 to about 12 among or more a plurality of embodiment.In one embodiment, catholyte 22 have about 600mV to approximately-ORP of 1000mV or the scope that described ORP can be other for example-150mV to-1000mV ,-150mV to-700mV or-300mV is to-700mV.Catholyte 22 can be used for heavy metal flocculation, condense, clean and extract.In addition, catholyte 22 can be used to clean the place of the pH level of injury (rather than using tincture of iodine) and any needs increase water.Catholyte 22 also can comprise reactive hydrogen peroxide, sodium and other hydroxide, metastable state ion and/or free radical.
Hydrone is typically together to center on the every 12-14 of family of an ion molecule cluster.This sometimes is called " surface tension ".Common running water comprises the network body of icosahedron water bunch.These big flood agglomerates are too big so that can not be easy to permeate different organic and inorganic material and organism, and this may be consuming time and catabiotic process.Big flood bunch is degraded to littler bunch may allow water active more and be more valuable for the application of reality.When the forcing function generator electrochemically-activated water, the covalency hydrogen bond between the hydrogen-oxygen is broken, acquisition H
2O bunch be reduced to every bunch less than 10 molecules, for example every bunch between 5 and 6 molecules.Therefore, the EA glassware for drinking water that is obtained has the water bunch Size Distribution of the smaller szie bunch of big figure more.Therefore, EA water more " wets ", has bigger wetting capacity, bigger permeability and bigger solubility.Because EA water is wetter to have a wetting capacity bigger than common water, it can have doubly (for example) aquation faster of 6-10 than non-EA glassware for drinking water, and as the non-EA water of clastic ratio is more easily mentioned from the surface and the transmission mechanism that separates.
Particularly, the EA glassware for drinking water of alkaline catholyte composite form has the ability of imitation anion, cation, nonionic and amphoteric surfactant.Catholyte 22 has the surfactant imitation effect, because catholyte 22 can have high pH value and fill with very large good anion after electrochemical activation.In one embodiment, catholyte 22 is that to have pH be 9 or bigger high alkalinity, for example about 10 to about 12 scope, but can have other pH values outside this scope in other embodiments.When in solution, water cluster is typically around ion.During electrochemical activation, electronics and ion move everywhere fiercely and collide each other up to water cluster within water cluster and become very little.As a result, these small water molecules bunch can penetrate crackle and the crack between dirt and the object, and can more effectively withdraw dirt than common non-EA water.
These performances have also been improved the dissolving of grease, acid ground and carbonaceous oil and have been removed.This is because catholyte 22 usefulness negative electrical charges center on the grease molecule, and described negative electrical charge can withdraw separately after being centered on by anion.In addition, help to reduce the whole dimension of grease molecule around the grease molecule with negative electrical charge, and therefore catholyte 22 to cause the grease molecular change to get littler.
In addition, with negative electrical charge around grease molecule saponification grease molecule and help emulsification and stable hydrophobic grease molecule in water effectively.Centered on by the negative electrical charge from catholyte 22 when containing grease or grease-like material, catholyte is transformed into synthetic fluid soap with grease.As a result, become solubilized and can remove by catholyte 22 and do not add the part of surfactant/detergent chemicals of oiliness or oil spot as clean liquid.But, if desired, in other embodiments, surfactant/detergent can add to processed liquid be used for the activation before or afterwards the cleaning.
Therefore, catholyte 22 has strong cleaning capacity.Catholyte 22 can be used as the clean solution with high-caliber cleaning capacity, and is safe and free from environmental pollution.But catholyte 22 is safe for environment, because alkaline water alkalization material oxidation material not.Oxidation causes some materials to get rusty, degrade, wear out and becomes dirty.Catholyte 22 is avoided getting rusty, degrades, is too early worn out and becomes dirty.
Therefore, the EA water (catholyte and anolyte) that produces from forcing function generator 10 has cleaning function and sterilizing ability.As a result, for example mobile or non-moving cleaning equipment hard and/or the soft seat cleaner can use EA water to clean base plate and other surfaces of leaving base plate of for example industry, commerce and residential housing.Described cleaner can use EA water and not add surface active ingredient, and for example surfactant or detergent are assisted the hard and/or pressure release surface of cleaning.
Equally, have can be from the ability of the very effective solvent of described surface extraction for allowing oil force to become for the EA glassware for drinking water that produces by forcing function generator 10.Compare with the cleaning agent that is tending towards allowing oil keep suspending, when its activity function of water depletion and when being neutralized, EA water allows oil to reconfigure after extraction.When use has when being reclaimed the cleaning equipment of function by the soiling solution body, this characteristic of EA water allow oil by more effectively from the moisture that is extracted, besmirch from.This can reduce with from the surface that will be cleaned or the relevant expense of processing of the waste water that besmirches that reclaims of object.
Describe in more detail as following, anolyte and catholyte can apply separately and from the surface or the object extraction that will be cleaned or can apply together or order applies or as mixture.Anolyte can apply by independent distribution system with catholyte or can share identical distribution system.In one example, if anolyte and catholyte specific one is not used, it can be routed to buffer or the holder that is used for follow-up use from the efferent of forcing function generator, perhaps can be routed to refuse or collection box.Term case, buffer and memory are interchangeable.
C, multilayer anode liquid and catholyte
Have been found that anolyte and catholyte can be mixed together within the distribution system of cleaning equipment and/or on surface that is being cleaned or the object, and the cleaning and disinfection performance of still remaining valid.The EA water complex that mixes also can be by having variation each other anolyte 20 and the ratio of catholyte 22 form.When mixing, the EA water of mixing be nonequilibrium condition can comprise that to have pH be about 2.5-6 and ORP for for example-150mV to the anolyte type of-700mV and for example to have pH be about 8-12 and ORP for approximately+400mV to approximately+the catholyte type of 900mV.Can believe that little water bunch does not allow the reaction type in anolyte and the catholyte to reconfigure immediately and neutralizes.Although anolyte and catholyte are mixed, they begin not to be balance and the therefore interim improvement cleaning and disinfection performance that keeps them.
Equally, for the typical portable surface cleaning or the cleaner of extractor type for example, the time of staying of the lip-deep liquid that was cleaned before extracting is relatively very short, is that 2-3 is between second for typical portable surface cleaning for example.Substantially in the collection box of cleaner or following disposal before the neutralization, these other useful cleaning/antiseptic properties that allow redox potential and mix EA water keep during this time of staying substantially in these performances.
6, change the manufacturing concentration and the volume of anolyte and catholyte
Anolyte and catholyte can produce or apply with structure by modify feature generator 10 of the ratio that differs from one another, flow velocity by generator and/or compartment system.
For example, if the major function of EA water is a cleaning, described forcing function generator can be configured to produce the catholyte than anolyte more volume.Alternatively, for example, if the major function of EA water is sterilization, described forcing function generator can be configured to produce the volume bigger than catholyte.Equally, the concentration of the reaction type in each can change.
Fig. 2 has shown that having minus plate 41 antianode plates 42 according to an embodiment is the schematic diagram of the forcing function generator 40 of 3: 2 ratios, is used to produce the catholyte than anolyte more volume.Each minus plate 41 exchanges film 43 with positive plate 42 by each ion to be separated.Like this, there are three cathode chambers for two anode chambers.This configuration produces about 60% catholyte by efferent 44 to 40% anolyte by efferent 45.In another embodiment, each unit comprises three cathode chambers and an anode chamber, and each separates by single film, and this is similar to the embodiment shown in Fig. 2.Also can use other ratios.
For a plurality of anode chambers and cathode chamber, described ratio can be further by making selected battery lead plate open and stop and further revising.Enable and stop can be with realizing that to the suitable switch of electrode this can control automatically by control circuit in the power line, by manually control or the combination of the two of operating personnel.In example as shown in Figure 2,1: 1 ratio can be by stopping in the negative electrode 41 one and cut off and flow to another chamber and realize.2: 3 ratio of minus plate antianode plate can simply be realized by the polarity that oppositely is applied to the electromotive force on the described plate 41,42 in this example.Like this, each plate 41 becomes a positive plate, and each plate 42 becomes minus plate.The polarity of the voltage that applies can be periodically oppositely or on other times described positive plate of automatically cleaning and minus plate, and therefore prolonged their life-span.Therefore, employed term " anode " and " negative electrode " and term " anolyte " and " catholyte " are respectively interchangeable in specification and the claim.
Alternatively or in addition, can mechanically work, stop or reducing by restriction means 46 to the stream of selected chamber, described restriction means 46 can be positioned at the input or the output of forcing function generator 40.Described restriction means can comprise any device that is suitable for limiting stream, for example valve or pump.
Electromotive force reduces and can regulate by the stream of that chamber by regulating in the concentration of reactive species, the variation of pH or each chamber.For flow velocity higher in the given chamber, supply with water and in described chamber, have the shorter time of staying, and less time produces reactive species or changes pH or reduce electromotive force like this.
Forcing function generator 40 also can have a plurality of unit parallel to each other, and described unit can optionally start and stop as required.
In another embodiment, one or more a plurality of minus plate can have the surface area different with each positive plate to change in each chamber the concentration with respect to the active water of another chamber.
In another embodiment of the present disclosure, catholyte output 44 and anolyte output 45 outputs at forcing function generator 40 are in the flow path makes up.
7, spray
As above mentioned, have been found that in the downstream of forcing function generator or upstream, atomizing of liquids to be treated for cleaning and the bactericidal property that cleaning can improve the liquid that is obtained.Alternatively, for example, injection apparatus can itself own use in any equipment, and does not have forcing function generator, for example but be not limited thereto the place disclosed these.In one embodiment, term " injection " refer to by the known proper method of those skilled in the art in liquid dispensing gas or in gas disperse liquid.Term " injected EA liquid " and " injected EA water " refer at the upstream of the forcing function generator of electrochemically activated liquid or water and/or EA liquid or the EA water that has sprayed in the downstream.Fig. 3 has shown the equipment of the injection apparatus 50 with the downstream that is placed in forcing function generator 10.Injection of injection apparatus 50 usefulness gases or injection anolyte EA liquid 20 and catholyte EA liquid 22 form the anolyte EA liquid 51 of injection and injected catholyte EA liquid 52.Single, combined jet device or independent device can be used to spray each stream.Alternatively, for example injection apparatus 50 is known of being connected in anolyte EA liquid 20 and the catholyte EA liquid 22 or another.In another embodiment, for example, before being sprayed by described device 50, described stream 20,22 is combined into single stream.Equally, for example, a plurality of injection apparatus can be connected with parallel to each other each other together.
In one embodiment, injection apparatus 50 is sprayed onto EA liquid with thin bubble and is transferred to the surface that will be cleaned or the foam of article with generation.Suitable gas comprises air, oxygen, nitrogen, ammonia, carbon dioxide and other gas.Under the situation of air and oxygen, the EA liquid that is obtained, the spray height oxygenation that becomes.The increase of oxygenation further facilitates effective infiltration of the surface that is cleaned or article and can improve chemical reaction convenient for cleaning or sterilization.
If injection apparatus 50 is placed on the upstream of forcing function generator 10, for example in embodiment as shown in Figure 4, described gas also can assist to improve the cleaning or the sterilizing ability of the EA liquid that is obtained in the electrochemical activation process.Can supply to another anode chamber, cathode chamber or anode chamber and the cathode chamber of forcing function generator 10 from the injected liquid 53 of injection apparatus, and common running water (perhaps other liquid) can supply to any chamber that does not receive injected liquid.
If injected gas comprises air or oxygen, the oxygen level that increases during electrochemical activation can produce super oxygenation EA water.The level of the oxygen that increases has increased the efficient in the electrochemical activation process.Equally, during the electrochemical activation process, the water that is sprayed can have such water bunch Size Distribution: described distribution has the more more tuftlet of big figure, and described more tuftlet has every bunch of more hydrone of peanut.These littler bunch can transmission with separates in ion exchange film by forcing function generator increase efficient.The super oxygenation EA water electrochemical activation that becomes obtains the foam of electrochemical activation and or has a reacting gas of improved cleaning or sterilizing ability.
In embodiment as shown in Figure 5, injection apparatus 50 comprises one or more a plurality of electrolysis cells, and described electrolysis cells is operated on electrochemical basis to realize injection.Electrolysis cells can be positioned at the upstream or the downstream of forcing function generator 10.In Fig. 5, electrolysis cells 50 is upstreams of forcing function generator 10.Electrolysis cells has one or the more a plurality of negative electrode similar to the forcing function generator as shown in Fig. 1,2.But in one embodiment, electrolysis cells does not have ion to exchange film.

Common running water typically comprises the oxygen of 8-40mg/L.The oxygen level can increase by electrolysis.Oxygen and hydrogen peroxide can be incorporated into the water from the electrolysis of the supply water at the water source EA water of forcing function generator 10 (perhaps from).Described oxygen and other bubbles have not only further improved the wetting property of water by the surface tension that has reduced water, and these bubbles also can react cleaning and/or the bactericidal property that further improves water.The oxygenated water 54 that produces by electrolysis also comprises hydrogen peroxide, and described hydrogen peroxide is strong oxidizer and the sterilization that can further improve described water.
Injection can be introduced " microvesicle " or " nano bubble ".Microvesicle and nano bubble have too little so that can not interrupt the capillary size of described liquid usually.As a result, these bubbles keep being suspended in the described liquid indefinitely.Uncertain the suspending of bubble allows bubble concentration to increase, and finally has super-saturated bubble in water.
Fig. 6 is the view of the embodiment that shown that Fig. 5 is similar, but the downstream that further is included in forcing function generator 10 is used for extra electrolysis and is used for second electrolysis cells (perhaps other devices of realization injection) 50 that oxygen that cleaning or sterilizing ability with difference produce the reaction foam produces.In one embodiment, 51,52 that represent with arrow respectively, from the super oxygenation anolyte of forcing function generator 10 and catholyte output by second electrolysis cells 50 or separately by two independent chambers or be mixed together.In another embodiment, in the described output one, for example super oxygenation anolyte output by Unit second 50 another outputs simultaneously, for example super oxygenated cathode liquid is exported bypass second unit 50, and is as shown in arrow 55.By activated water electrochemically before by 50 electrolysis of extra unit, during being used for the electrolytic process of atomizing of liquids, may run into resistance still less.In addition, can obtain more effective nano bubble in final reaction foam keeps.
In another embodiment, can be from the container of the EA liquid that seals previously or can be near " filling the station " fixing or that move filling box, its bearing function generator is used for electrochemically activated liquid, loads described case by water pipe or other interim connectors to described cleaner then.After loading EA water, before being transferred to the surface or article that is cleaned or sterilizes, EA water is transferred to injection apparatus.
In another embodiment, case can maybe can be filled from neighbouring " filling the station " static or that move from the jetting fluid vessel filling of sealing in advance, it carries the injection apparatus that is used for atomizing of liquids, and comes carrying case by flexible pipe or other the interim jockey that is attached to cleaner then.After loading the liquid that sprays, before the surface or article that are sent to be cleaned or sterilization, liquid is sent to the forcing function generator that is used for the electrochemical activation effect.In one example, the liquid of injection be accommodated in have suitable interior pressure one keep the spray regime of liquid know transmission or the container that uses in.Described container can empty in the case that is carried by cleaning device and/or can be configured in the flow path that upstream or downstream part at forcing function generator be directly connected to described device.
8, electrolysis cells

2) and hydrogen ion (H
+), the while contacts with negative electrode 58 or the hydrone of close negative electrode 58 electrochemically is reduced to hydrogen (H
2) and hydroxyl ion (OH
-).Can mix and form from the product of two electrodes and have neutral pH and ORP at the about 500mV oxygenation fluid 59 in the scope of about 800mV, because there is not physical obstacle that product is separated from each other.Hydrogen 60 is typically to around the surperficial bubble of the fluid of negative electrode 58 and escape in the air simultaneously oxygen and keep and be suspended at the time cycle longer in the water, because oxygen is denser than hydrogen.As a result, fluid 59 becomes by the oxygen over-saturation and has strong ORP.If electrolysis cells 50 is placed on the upstream of forcing function generator, the ORP super oxygenation of the fluid that enters, strong and bunch dimensional performance that reduces be the electrochemical activation process within the assist in functions generator greatly.
Alternatively, for example, anode 57 can separate by using the dielectric impedance spare that for example is arranged on the non-permeable membrane (not shown) between anode and the negative electrode with negative electrode 58.
9, injection has improved multilayer anode liquid and catholyte EA water
Have been found that the upstream of forcing function generator and/or the injection in downstream also can improve and help to keep the cleaning and/or the bactericidal property of water when anolyte EA water mixes with catholyte EA water.
Carry out simple test, wherein various types of EA water are placed in the open containers, and an oil dripping is placed on the water surface to measure the oily diffusion of each EA water type.Non-injection anolyte EA water shows does not have oily diffusion.Non-injection and injection catholyte EA water show 100% oily diffusion, and wherein oil is diffused into 100% of water surface.When combination, non-injection anolyte and catholyte EA water have shown 100% oil diffusion.With 0% the non-injection anolyte EA water ratio that is used for, spray anolyte EA water and shown 50% oily diffusion, wherein oil water surface 50% on diffusion.When combination, the anolyte of injection and catholyte EA water have shown 100% oil diffusion.
50% increase for the oily diffusion of spraying anolyte means that mixing EA glassware for drinking water has the oily diffusion of increase, and this must improve cleaning/bactericidal property, and must prolong the time before the cause that mixing EA water increases owing to the activity in the water neutralizes.Alternatively, for example, liquid can pass through forcing function generator more quickly, keeps identical substantially cleaning/sterilizing ability simultaneously.

Fluid box 106 be filled be used to clean and/or sterilize use with processed liquid, for example common running water.In one embodiment, liquid is without any surfactant, cleaning agent or other cleaning chemistry product.Cleaner 100 further comprises output fluid flow path 160, and described flow path 160 comprises pump 164, injection apparatus 161 and forcing function generator 162.Case 106, injection apparatus 161, forcing function generator 162 and pump 164 can be positioned at any position of cleaner 100.In one embodiment, similar to shown in Fig. 8 A, the 8B of injection apparatus 161 and forcing function generator 162, and be installed within the housing 150 that is carried within the base portion 102.Pump 164 be installed in the following of source case 106 and from case 106 by injection apparatus 161 and forcing function generator 162 along flow path 160 pumps water near the of scrub head 110 and finally arrive base plate 125, wherein retracting device 122 reclaims the liquid that besmirches and it is turned back to collection box 108.Arrow among Figure 10 A has shown from case 106 by flow path 160 to base plate 125 128 the direction of liquid flow from collection box 122 to collection box then.Alternatively, for example, second injection apparatus 163 (being presented among Figure 11) can be positioned at the downstream of forcing function generator 162.Similarly, pump 164 can be positioned at the downstream or the upstream of any parts along flow path 160.Alternatively, for example, pump 164 can be removed and flow path 160 is configured to water and passes through by the operation of gravity along flow path 160.Can use the pump of any suitable type or the pump of model.For example, pump 164 can comprise having opening flow capacity 1.0 gallon per minute (gpm)
SHURfloSLV10-AB41 membrane pump (from the California Cypriote SHURflo company can obtain).In this example, the pump with little opening flow capacity can be used, because flow path in this example 160 has little or do not have back pressure.When work, pump 164 can be controlled to any suitable speed pumping, for example greater than 0gpm and reach on the speed of 1.0gpm.For example, but described speed can be set to predetermined speed or within regulations speed within the scope of 0.1gpm to 1.0gpm or the scope at 0.15gpm to 0.75gpm.If desired, bigger speed can use bigger pump to realize.
In an embodiment of the disclosure, control module 146 is configured to mode operating pumps 164, injection apparatus 161 and the forcing function generator 162 with " (on demand) as required immediately ".Pump 164 is in " cutting out " state, and injection apparatus 161 and forcing function generator 162 are in the outage when putting and not moving with respect to the base plate that is cleaned of having a rest at cleaner 100.Control module 146 with pump 164 switch to " opening " state and when cleaner 100 when advancing, to give injection apparatus 161 and forcing function generator 162 energisings along forward direction (indicated) as arrow 165 with respect to base plate.In " opening " state, pump 164 from case 106 by flow path 160 with water pump deliver to scrub head 110 near.Like this, injection apparatus 161 and forcing function generator 162 " as required immediately " produce and transmission EA water.
When described water along flow path 160 by the time, injection apparatus 161 and forcing function generator 162 are by being injected into nano bubble in the water like this its height oxygenation and be split up into anolyte output stream and catholyte output stream by activated water electrochemically with the water that is activated and the described water of reconstruct temporarily of becoming.Forcing function generator changes the redox potential (ORP) of anolyte and catholyte output stream.As discussed above, common running water is formed by the hydrone that is not configured of big poly-piece, too big so that can not move effectively to interrupt the surface tension of described water when having surfactant.It is for example about 11 that catholyte output stream becomes highly alkalescence, pH, and construct with littler water cluster, penetrates with faster rate when being used in the purpose of cleaning.The alkaline water electronics is a lot of and be called as reductive water.It has the ability that penetrates dirt molecule and clean surface, simulates surfactants based clean solution.Anolyte output stream becomes highly acidic, and for example pH is about 3.The acid water that is obtained lacks electronics and is called oxidize water.Like this, acid water has the ability that reduces bacterium and reduces other harmful organisms by they being removed electronics.
In one embodiment, catholyte and anolyte output stream reconfigure in output place of forcing function generator 162, discuss with reference to Fig. 8 A and 8B, flow path 160 is fitted on scrub head 110 or direct to the base plate that is cleaned with mixing catholyte and the anolyte EA moisture that is obtained then.
Alternatively, for example one or more a plurality of case 106 can be filled by injection water, non-injection EA water (anolyte and/or catholyte) or be sprayed EA water, and it distributes by cleaner 100 then.For example, case 106 can or can be filled from neighbouring static or mobile " filling platform " from the vessel filling of the aforementioned sealing of EA water, its bearing function generator is used for electrochemically-activated water, and then case 106 is loaded in the cleaner 100 by flexible pipe or other interim connectors.If desired, additive can be added to the water of pre-electrochemical activation to keep the state of electrochemical activation.Case 106 is filled under the situation of the non-EA water that sprays therein, and cleaner 100 can comprise that forcing function generator is with electrochemically-activated water before dispensing water.Case 106 is filled under the situation of non-injection EA water therein, and cleaner 100 can further not handled and distributed non-injection EA water or can comprise injection apparatus injection water before dispensing water.When if case 106 is filled the EA water that sprays, cleaner 100 can further be handled or further not handle and distribute by airborne forcing function generator and/or airborne injection apparatus.Alternatively, for example, can before distributing, spray Ea water at the extra injection apparatus of airborne enforcement on the cleaner.
As described in greater detail, that flow path 160 can comprise is single, the output flow path of combination, be used for mixing catholyte and the anolyte EA water that produces in output place of forcing function generator 162 or can comprise independent path, described independent path can keep separately at certain position or in the combination of distributor place or along the whole length of flow path 160 along flow path 160.Stream separately can have the common flow distributor of close scrub head 110 or can be routed to independent liquid distributor.Pump 164 can be represented single pump or be used for a plurality of pumps of a plurality of flow paths.
If 100 of cleaners are operated in sterilization mode, no longer need and can be routed to collection box 108 or, be used for follow-up use by the catholyte EA water that forcing function generator produced, for example in the clean operation pattern to buffer or independent storage box.In cleaning and sterilization operation pattern, catholyte EA water and anolyte EA water are applied to base plate along flow path 160 routes simultaneously or in proper order with quilt.Catholyte EA water can be applied to backplate surface to clean described backplate surface, removes anolyte EA water being applied to the purpose that identical backplate surface is used for sterilization then.Described catholyte and anolyte EA water also can apply with opposite order.Alternatively, for example, the catholyte EA water that cleaner 100 can be configured to apply interruption with cycle short period, then apply anolyte EA water, perhaps conversely.Control cathode liquid and/or anolyte EA water whether apply and when, the various operator schemes of what concentration, flow velocity and ratio (for example with reference to Fig. 2 described those) can control by control module 146 by operating personnel.
In another embodiment, cleaner 100 can be revised and comprise two independent cleaning heads, and a cleaning head is used for distributing and recovery anolyte EA water, and one is used for distributing and recovery catholyte EA water.For example, each will comprise its oneself liquid distributor, scrub head and vacuum broom.Can follow another along the travel path of cleaner for one.For example, seeker can be used for cleaning, and the head of afterbody can be used for sterilization.
But in example as shown in Figure 8, two outputs are flowed in the output place combination of forcing function generator 162 and the independent control that does not have each output to flow.
Have been found that, when the two kinds of liquid stream that comprises anolyte EA water and catholyte EA water by simultaneously or the output stream by combination or independent output stream be applied to be cleaned surperficial the time, two kinds of liquid (although mixing on the described surface or combination) keep their independent improvement cleaning and bactericidal properties during described lip-deep residence time.For example, when cleaner 100 advanced with typical speed to cross the surface that will be cleaned, described surface was shorter relatively by the lip-deep residence time between the recovery of vacuum broom 124 then being assigned to, and for example approximately is 3 seconds.In one example, catholyte EA water kept their different electrochemical activation performances for example at least 30 seconds with anolyte EA water, even two liquid are mixed with each other together.At this time durations, the different electrochemical activation performances of two types liquid not neutralization up at liquid after reclaim on described surface.This allows the advantageous property of every kind of liquid to be utilized during common clean operation.
After reclaiming, nano bubble begins disappearance and alkalescence and acidic liquid and begins neutralization.In case neutralization comprises that the chemical property that be recovered, mixing material of pH turns back to the chemical property of normal running water.
If desired, the liquid distribution path of cleaner 100 also can comprise one or more a plurality of filter, and described filter is used for removing the composition of selection or chemical substance to reduce to stay the lip-deep residue that is cleaned from the EA water of supplying with water or generation.Described path also can comprise ultraviolet ray (UV) radiation generator, is used for that described liquid is carried out UV and handles to reduce the virus and the bacterium of liquid.
Figure 11 is to show the block diagram according to the liquid distribution flow path 160 of the cleaner 100 of an embodiment of the present disclosure in greater detail.For the sake of brevity, the water wasting flow path to the miscellaneous part of collection box 108 and cleaner 100 is not presented among Figure 11.In other embodiments, the element in the flow path 160 can relative to each other be placed in upstream or downstream again.Equally, can greatly change according to embodiment along the particular element of flow path 160, this depends on effective application-specific and platform.Some elements can be removed, and the other element can be increased.For example, in one embodiment, can eliminate injection apparatus 161, and in another embodiment, can eliminate forcing function generator 162.The element that shows with dotted line does not appear in the example shown in Figure 10 A-10C, but can comprise in other embodiments.Embodiment shown in Figure 11 is illustrative.
Liquid in the case 106 or supply water are connected to the input of forcing function generator 162 by duct portion 170,171, pump 164 and injection apparatus 161.Pump 164 can comprise the pump of any suitable type, for example membrane pump.The pump of other types also can use.
As mentioned above, for example the additive of dielectric (for example sodium chloride) or other compounds or improve compound can any required concentration and in any desired position the flow path along the upstream of forcing function generator 162 adds supply water to.For example, additive can add in the water within the case 106.In another example, additive stream can be connected with flow path is in alignment through installing 173, and for example the downstream of pump 164 (perhaps upstream) is used for additive is inserted into supply water.But such additive is unwanted for many clean applications and kind of liquid, for example normal running water.In some applications, if desired, each pH value that additive can be used for further promoting the anolyte of forcing function generator and catholyte output is neutral pH further away from each other.
Need therein in the application of extra cleaning agent, cleaner 100 can be modified further to comprise cleaning medium source 180, and described cleaning medium is fed into the input of forcing function generator by duct portion 181,182 and pump 183 (all show with dotted line).Alternatively, for example pump 183 cleaning medium can be supplied to forcing function generator 162 the downstream flow path 160 one or more or supply to for example flow path upstream of pump 164.Hydrid component 184 mixes the cleaning medium supplied with supply water from fluid supply 106.
Cleaning agent stream is independent of the volume of the cleaning medium in the supply source 180 substantially and produces.The check-valves (not shown) can be placed on same the straight line with when fluid hydrid component 184 is in the upstream of pump 164 with duct portion 170, prevents that the back of the body stream of cleaning medium and main clean liquid composition are to case 106.Pump 183 can comprise any suitable pump, for example solenoid pump.The example of suitable solenoid pump is by Madison, the Farmington sale of CT and the pump number ET200BRHP that is made by CEME.Other suitable pumps are SV653 measuring pumps of being made by Valcor Scientific.The pump of other types also can be used for described pump.
Controller 186 (showing with dotted line) is by the operation of control signal 187 control pumps.The part number QRS2211C (24V or 36V) that the Infitec company that suitable controller is the Syracuse, New York sells.According to an embodiment, signal 187 is pulse signals that power is provided with respect to the base plate (not shown), and control pump drives the time cycle of cleaning medium thereon by conduit 182.For example, control signal 187 can be opened pump 183 and close 2.75 seconds then to produce the low volume output stream of concentrated cleaning medium with 0.1 second.Other ON/OFF times also can use.In addition, pump 164 and 183 can be eliminated and liquid and cleaning medium can pass through another mechanism (for example gravity) and supply with.In the example as shown in Figure 10 A-10C, cleaner 100 does not comprise element 180,183,184 and 186, because do not use extra cleaning medium.
Forcing function generator 162 has catholyte EA water output 190 and anolyte EA water output 192, and described catholyte EA water output 190 and anolyte EA water output 192 are combined into common flow path 160 (with solid line) and show and supply to flow distributor 194.In another embodiment of the present disclosure, flow path 160 comprises that being used for each output independent flow path 160A, 160B of 190,192 (showing with dotted line) relative current by the flow path of single or combination can control by one or more a plurality of valve or other flow control devices 195 of placing along described path.
Buffer or holder 196 can be along the paths 160, but 160A and/or 160B place to collect and produced by forcing function generator 162 be not transferred to any catholyte or the anolyte of fluid distributor 194 immediately.For example, holder 196 can comprise air bleeding valve, in a single day described air bleeding valve allows holder to fill, fill, empty then employed each flow path.The holder of other types and valve or baffle system also can be used.Two holders 196 can be controlled to alternately, open or empty simultaneously or with any other interval or control signal.If one in catholyte or the anolyte is not used to specific cleaning or sterilizing operation, unnecessary untapped liquid can supply to collection box 108 by valve 195.For example, alternatively, liquid can be fed into independent storage box, is used for the back and uses.Independent storage box also can for example be used for wherein, and the output flow rate of distributor surpasses among the embodiment of an element of flow path or the speed that more a plurality of element can be handled the liquid that will be assigned with effectively.
According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, one or more a plurality of floor restriction device 198 can be placed point-blank to regulate liquid stream with flow path 160,160A and/or 160B, are used for the words of specific configuration if desired.For example, the pressure drop on the floor restriction device 198 can limit fluid be flowed so that volume required flow rate to be provided.For example, flow restriction parts 198 can comprise dip hatch or orifice plate, and when the pressure of the outlet of pump 164 roughly was 40psi, described dip hatch or orifice plate provided required output stream, for example 0.2GPM.Other flow velocitys that are greater than or less than 0.2GPM also can be used.
If use the cleaning medium supply source, the volume flow rate of cleaning medium can for example be restricted to about 10 cubic centimetres or still less of per minute by pump 183.The example that is used to control the element of volume flow rate of liquid and cleaning medium and method is in U.S. Patent No. 7,051, carried out more detailed description in 399.But these elements and method are unwanted in one or more a plurality of embodiment of the present disclosure.
Except injection apparatus 161 or substitute described injection apparatus 161, cleaner 100 can be along combination flow path 160 or along one or two independent flow path 160A, 160B, at the downstream part of forcing function generator 162, further comprise one or more a plurality of injection apparatus 163.Injection apparatus 163 can be placed in any position along flow path 160,160A and the 160B between forcing function generator 162 and the fluid distributor 194.In one embodiment, injection apparatus 163 comprises electrolysis cells, and for example the electrolysis cells shown in Fig. 9 A or the 9B is used for by the electrolysis atomizing of liquids.But the other types injection apparatus also can be used.
Flow path 160,160A and/or 160B may further include pressure relief valve 202 and check-valves 204, and described pressure relief valve 202 and check-valves 204 can be placed in any suitable position along any flow path in the cleaner 100.When cleaner 100 was not used, check-valves 204 can help the leakage of confined liquid.
Fluid distributor 194 can comprise any suitable allocation element of the application-specific of wherein using cleaner 100.For example, in one embodiment, fluid distributor 194 points to another parts of hard backplate surface or cleaner 10, for example scrub head with liquid.Scrub head has under the situation of a plurality of brushes therein, and fluid distributor 194 can comprise T type connector, for example if desired, can be used for independent output stream is routed to each brush.Described liquid can distribute in any suitable manner, for example by spraying or drippage.
Apply independent of one another therein among the embodiment of anolyte and catholyte, fluid distributor 194 can have independent output, and each output is used for every type liquid.Alternatively, for example, fluid distributor can have single output, from the stream of each flow path by for example valve, switch or baffle controls.In another embodiment, fluid distributor 194 comprises that selectivity is only by anolyte, the flow control device of the mixture by catholyte or anolyte and catholyte only.For example, term fluid distributor and liquid distributor can comprise single distribution member or a plurality of distribution member, no matter whether these elements link together.
Also have been found that, when two liquid are applied simultaneously the surface that is cleaned and are mixed together, can further postpone the neutralization of anolyte EA water and catholyte EA water by the minute bubbles that any one produced (for example nano bubble) in the injection apparatus 161,163.This benefit can exist, no matter described liquid be distribute at independent flow path or in the flow path of combination and injection apparatus whether in the upstream of forcing function generator 162, the downstream of forcing function generator 162, in one or the downstream of the two of the flow path 160 of flow path 160A and 160B, combination, perhaps any combination place of these positions.
Have been found that, when two liquid streams that comprise anolyte EA water and catholyte EA water are applied to be cleaned surperficial simultaneously, by the output stream of combination or independent output stream, although mix on described surface, two liquid are keeping their independent improvement cleaning and disinfection performances during the typical residence time on the described surface.For example, when cleaner 100 crosses the surface that is cleaned when advancing with typical speed, being assigned to the lip-deep time of staying of described surface between reclaiming by vacuum broom 124 (being presented among Figure 10 A) then shorter relatively, about 2-3 second for example.At this time durations, the different electrochemical activation performance of two types liquid can not neutralize up at described liquid after reclaim on described surface.This allows the advantageous property of every kind of liquid to be utilized during common clean operation.
After reclaiming, nano bubble begins disappearance and alkalescence and acidic liquid and begins neutralization.In case neutralization, the chemical property of the liquid that is recovered, mixes turns back to (comprising pH) chemical property of ordinary tap water.Generally kept during the residence time of useful cleaning/antiseptic property before these performances are neutralized in the collection box of cleaner or processing subsequently of the EA water of this permission redox potential and other mixing.
Equally, have been found that the redox potential and the relative neutralization apace in collection box after reclaiming of other electrochemical activation performances of the EA water (perhaps other EA liquid) of mixing.It is processed after having finished that this liquid that allows to be recovered almost follows clean operation closely, and do not need to wait for or with the liquid storage that is recovered in the interim case of handling up to described liquid neutralization.
In another embodiment, described liquid can be converted to anolyte EA liquid and catholyte EA liquid separate cleaning device 100.In this embodiment, cleaner 100 can be modified to comprise anolyte source case and catholyte source case, is used to hold the anolyte EA liquid and the catholyte EA liquid that produce by independent forcing function generator.Therefore, forcing function generator 162 can be eliminated on cleaner 100.Can make up or remain aforesaid independent output stream from the output of anolyte fluid box and catholyte fluid box.If desired, cleaner 100 can comprise one or more a plurality of injection apparatus, and for example the injection apparatus shown in Figure 11 comes output stream combinations of injections or independent.
12, the quick neutralization of anolyte and catholyte output
Another aspect of the present disclosure relates to wherein having in the relative neutral pH between pH6 and the pH8 (for example pH7) and at the liquid (for example water) of the neutral relatively ORP of (for example 0mV) between ± 50mV and produces anolyte EA output by forcing function generator and catholyte EA exports.Anolyte and catholyte EA output has the extraneous pH between pH6 and pH8, and has the ORP outside the scope of ± 50mV.For example, anolyte EA output has that pH is approximately 2.5 to 6, ORP scope+100mV to+1200mV ,+400mV to+900mV or+ORP of 400mV to the scope of+700mV.Catholyte EA output has pH be about 8-12, ORP for example approximately-150mV to-1000mV ,-150mV to-700mV or-ORP of 300mV to the scope of-700mV.
Anolyte and catholyte EA output are applied to the surface that is used for residence time, reclaim and are placed on the collection box from described surface then.In one embodiment, anolyte and catholyte EA output is applied to described surface within 5 seconds of time that liquid produces by forcing function generator, and can be within 3 seconds that for example produce, be applied to described surface in the littler time range.In one embodiment, described lip-deep residence time is greater than 0 second and less than 5 seconds, for example at 1-5 between second or at 2-3 between second.
Anolyte and catholyte EA output can mix before being applied to described surface, mixing on the described surface or mixing in collection box.For example, anolyte and catholyte EA output can be simultaneously be applied to described surface or can applies in proper order and reclaim or overlapping or non-overlapped on described surface as single, the liquid that mixes or as independent liquid.
In case reclaim, the anolyte of the mixing within the collection box and catholyte EA output neutralization cardinal principle apace are to the original pH and the ORP (pH in for example common running water and ORP) of source liquid.In one example, multilayer anode liquid within the described collection box and catholyte EA output be neutralized to substantially fast within the time window of the time that produces by forcing function generator from anolyte and catholyte EA output less than 1 minute (for example 30 seconds within) between pH6 and the pH8 pH and ± ORP between the 50mV.
After this, the liquid that is reclaimed can be handled with any suitable mode.Similarly, liquid is not from the embodiment that reclaim on the surface that is cleaned therein, and mixed anolyte and catholyte EA output are neutralized to the original pH and the ORP of source liquid apace substantially on described surface.This method can be carried out with cleaner 100 or any other equipment, for example still is not limited thereto the disclosed equipment in place.
