Description

The utility model relates to devices for activating liquid aqueous media by the electrochemical method and is intended for the preparation of two types of biologically active water in home and laboratory conditions: catholyte (alkaline or “living” water) and anolyte (acid or “dead” water).

A device is known for activating water containing an insignificant amount of mineral salts by direct current electrolysis in a special two-chamber electrolyzer separated by an ion-conducting diaphragm (V.M. Bakhir. Electrochemical activation. - M .: VNIIIMT, 1992, part 1, p.233 -237), as a result of which two fractions of water are obtained: alkaline (catholyte) saturated with OH ^- ions (pH = 7-12), and acidic (anolyte) saturated with H ⁺ ions (pH = 2-7). The essence of this invention is implemented in the device (device) "Melest" (Manufacturer: LLC MVP "Melest" Russia, Ufa, ul. Sh. Rustaveli 19), intended for the preparation of two types of water at home: catholyte (alkaline or "living "Water) and anolyte (acid, or" dead "water). The device (device) consists of a main open container made of food-grade plastic, a removable top cover with electrodes and a power supply, a fabric cup that acts as a diaphragm between the cathode and anode, and is inserted into the main container.

"Living" water (catholyte) is a very soft, colorless liquid with an alkaline taste, pH = 9-12. This water is an energy source, a good biostimulant, restores the body's immune system, providing it with antioxidant protection. It activates the bioprocesses of a living organism, plants and improves metabolism. [one].

Anolyte is a powerful antiseptic and preservative. It has inhibitory properties and slows down bioprocesses. It is used to combat microorganisms and fungi, the processing of fruits and vegetables in order to increase the shelf life, as well as for many other purposes [1].

A household water activator is also known (see RF patent 2226508. Cl. C02P 1/461, 2004 - prototype), comprising a dielectric housing separated by an ion-permeable diaphragm into an anode and cathode chambers with electrodes and a power supply attached to the housing cover.

The disadvantages of the known devices are the low productivity and uneven volume of activated water in the anode (0.2-0.3 l of anolyte) and cathode (0.6-0.7 l of catholyte) parts of the installation, resulting in a different degree of change in the pH of the anolyte and catholyte, a large distance between the electrodes (35 mm), which does not allow to obtain a high electric field strength between the electrodes and, as a consequence, a gradual increase in the current strength in the electric circuit and, therefore, the electric field strength between the electrodes. Due to the small volume of anolyte compared with catholyte, anolyte overheats quickly and begins to boil with overflow into the catholyte compartment. The small thickness of the plastic of the main container leads to the rapid appearance of cracks and the destruction of the material under the influence of an electric field.

The technical result is to increase the efficiency of the device for producing activated "living" (catholyte) and "dead" (anolyte) water in equal volumes and with an equal rate of change in the pH of catholyte and anolyte in the process of water activation, and with a sufficiently high electrostatic field between the electrodes due to their maximum rapprochement and uniform heating of water in both compartments of the tank, as well as the expansion of technological capabilities.

To achieve a technical result, a device for electrochemical water treatment, consisting of a dielectric casing, separated by an ion-permeable diaphragm into an anode and cathode chambers with electrodes and a power supply, which are attached to the casing cover, has additional dielectric casing in an amount of at least two, depending on the required volumes of activated water installed stepwise relative to each other in height and interconnected by insulating outlet pipes of the previous housing with the inlet pipes of the subsequent cathode and anode chamber casing, while in each dielectric casing the ion-permeable diaphragm is interchangeable and located in the middle of the casing, and the distance between the electrodes is 5 mm greater than the thickness of the ion-permeable diaphragm.

According to the scientific, technical and patent literature, no similar set of features has been found that allows to obtain a technical result that was not previously achieved by known means, which allows us to judge the appropriate level of the proposed proposal. The proposed technical solution meets the criterion of "industrial applicability" because it is reproducible and performed even in a home workshop and can be used to activate water and produce "alkaline" water (catholyte) and "acid" water (anolyte) with specified pH parameters.

The invention is illustrated in the drawing, where figure 1 - shows a device for electrochemical treatment of water, figure 2 - dielectric housing.

A device for electrochemical water treatment consists of several dielectric housings 1 in an amount of at least two, depending on the required volumes of activated water, installed in steps in height relative to each other. In each dielectric housing 1 there is an ion-permeable diaphragm 2, which is removable and located in the middle of the housing, dividing it into anode and cathode chambers of equal volume and having corresponding electrodes 3 mounted next to the diaphragm 2 and connected to a power source (not shown in the figure). The electrodes 3 are attached to the cover (not shown) of the housing. The distance between the electrodes is 5 mm greater than the thickness of the ion-permeable diaphragm. The dielectric casing 1 is interconnected by insulating output pipes 4 of the previous housing with the input pipes 5 of the subsequent cathode and anode chambers.

The dielectric housing 1 has a volume of 1-2 l, is divided into two equal parts by a replaceable diaphragm 2 made of ion-conducting fabric embedded in a plastic frame or made of ceramic inserted into the recesses of the opposite walls of the housing 1, in the lower parts of the cathode and anode chambers of the housing 1. To implement the device and to receive 1 liter of “living” and “dead” water, two plates 100 × 100 mm in size and three plates 100 × 200 mm in size are made of food-grade plastic 5-6 mm thick, on each of them the center along the short side make undercut diaphragm 2, the diaphragm is manufactured and assembled body 1 with the diaphragm.

Based on the proposed changes, the device allows you to receive equal amounts of living water (catholyte) and dead water (anolyte) with the active process and the preparation of catholyte and anolyte with the same temperature and a uniform change in pH relative to the initial pH of the used drinking water.

The device allows you to work in static or in slow dynamic mode, gradually adding water to the anode and cathode compartments and at the same time draining the anolyte and catholyte.

The efficiency of the device is confirmed by the data presented in the table. Table
