Description

  The present invention relates to a technique for using electrolyzed water, and relates to an apparatus for sterilization using electrolyzed water, disinfection by sterilization, and generating electrolyzed water.

  First, in the following, the definition of “disinfection” means that pathogenic microorganisms attached or contained in an object or living body are killed or removed, reduced to a harmless level, or infectious power is lost. The definition of “sterilization” is to kill bacteria, and the definition of “disinfection” is to define the number of objects such as objects and liquids and the number of microorganisms contained in a limited space. Reduce and increase cleanliness.

  Conventionally, electrolyzed water obtained by electrolyzing tap water, etc. includes strongly acidic electrolyzed water (strongly acidic hypochlorous acid water), weakly acidic electrolyzed water (weakly acidic hypochlorous acid water), slightly acidic electrolyzed water ( Slightly acidic hypochlorous acid water), electrolytic hypochlorous water, and strong alkaline electrolyzed water.

  When these electrolyzed water is used as a food additive, there is a definition stipulated in the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare Notification No. 212. If pH and effective chlorine concentration (mg / kg) are described, strongly acidic electrolyzed water (pH 2.2- 2.7, effective chlorine concentration 20-60), weakly acidic electrolyzed water (pH 2.7-5.0, effective chlorine concentration 10-60), slightly acidic electrolyzed water (pH 5.0-6.5, effective chlorine concentration 10) -30 hydrochloric acid, 50-80 hydrochloric acid / saline).

  As a technique for generating this electrolyzed water, there is one described in Patent Document 1, for example. This is an electrolytic cell in which an anode chamber and a cathode chamber are formed by partitioning an anode and a cathode with a diaphragm. Acidic electrolyzed water (oxidized water) is generated in the anode chamber and alkaline in the cathode chamber. Electrolyzed water (reduced water) is generated.

  This acidic electrolyzed water is strongly acidic, and alkaline electrolyzed water is strongly alkaline. The active ingredient that contributes to the sterilization of strongly acidic electrolyzed water is hypochlorous acid, and the sterilizing effect correlates with the effective chlorine concentration.
