Definitions
- the present invention relates to the electrochemical treatment of water and aqueous solutions of salt with the aim of altering the oxidising and reducing properties of the water or the aqueous solutions of salt.
- the water pressure in the working chamber is higher than that in the auxiliary chamber, and gaseous electrolysis products are vented from the gas-separating chamber by way of a gas-relief valve.
- This method allows the pH value of the water being treated to be reduced from 7 to around 2 when the anode chamber is used as the working chamber. If instead the cathode chamber is used as the working chamber, the pH value of the water to be treated can be increased to around 12.
- This known method of electrolytic treatment is applied only to water having a relatively low concentration of dissolved salts and minerals (less than lOgdm "3 ) , and the electricity supplied for the electrolytic treatment of water in the working chamber is only around 200 to 3000Cdrrf 3 .
- the water to be treated has such a low concentration of dissolved salts and minerals, there is consequently a low concentration of useful electrolysis products (such as the chlorate (I) ion CIO " which is produced when a sodium chloride solution is used in the auxiliary chamber and which acts as a disinfecting agent) .
- useful electrolysis products such as the chlorate (I) ion CIO " which is produced when a sodium chloride solution is used in the auxiliary chamber and which acts as a disinfecting agent.
- water with a low concentration of salts and minerals tends to have a high ohmic resistance, which means that energy is used inefficiently when performing electrolysis.
- the small amount of electricity (200 to 3000Cd ⁇ T 3 ) applied to the water in the working chamber is insufficient to ensure the full transformation of the ions of dissolved salts (such as chloride ions Cl " ) into useful electrolysis products (such as chlorate (I) ions CIO " ) .
- the incomplete electrolysis of dissolved salts means that a greater than theoretically necessary amount of salt must initially be dissolved in order to provide a required concentration of electrolysis products. This excess of dissolved salt can mean that the output of the electrolytic cell is overly corrosive, and when used as a disinfectant wash, tends to leave a coating of crystalline salt on surfaces which have been washed.
- Chloride ions transform into gaseous chlorine at the anode in accordance with the following equation: 2C1 " ⁇ Cl 2 + 2e "
- Electrolysis of water takes place in the cathode chamber.
- the equation is as follows: 2H 2 0 + 2e " ⁇ 20H “ + H 2 Consequently gaseous hydrogen is liberated at the cathode, and the concentration of hydroxide ions rises, thereby increasing the water pH in the cathode chamber.
- the oxidizing ability of water is determined by the concentration of hypochlorous acid, and the reduction ability by the concentration of hydroxide ions.
- Water which has been under electrolytic treatment according to the method described in GB 2253860 has a low concentration of hypochlorous acid and hydroxide ions due to the low mineralisation of the initial water.
- One way of estimating the effectiveness of a sterilising solution produced by the electrolytic treatment of a salt solution is to measure the concentration of "free chlorine", by which is understood the concentration of hypochlorous acid in water and the concentration of the chlorate ion (formed by the dissociation of hypochlorous acid) .
- the concentration of free chlorine in water which has been treated in the anode chamber of the electrolytic cell of GB 2253860 does not usually exceed 0.2 to 0.6gdm "3 , although the solubility of gaseous chlorine in water is much higher (7.3gdm "3 at 20°C) . It is therefore apparent that water which has been under electrolytic treatment in accordance with the known method has a concentration of free chlorine not more than 3 to 10% of the possible maximum. This low concentration is a result of the fact that only a small proportion of the chloride ions which are drawn across the permeable membrane from the cathode flow chamber to the anode flow chamber actually reach the anode to be combined so as to form gaseous chlorine . Most of the chloride ions in the anode chamber are carried out of the electrolytic cell with the output of the anode flow chamber before reaching the anode itself.
- a method of treating an aqueous salt solution in an electrolytic cell comprising a working chamber and an auxiliary chamber separated from each other by a permeable membrane, one chamber including an anode and the other a cathode, and each chamber having an input line and an output line, wherein: i) a relatively concentrated aqueous salt solution is supplied under pressure to the working chamber through its respective input line; ii) a first proportion of the relatively concentrated solution is filtered under pressure through the permeable membrane into the auxiliary chamber; iii) an electric current is applied between the cathode and the anode through the aqueous salt solution and the permeable membrane so as to cause electrolysis of the aqueous salt solution; iv) a second proportion of the aqueous salt solution in the working chamber is output through the output line of the working chamber and directly recirculated to the input line of the working chamber; and v) gaseous electrolysis products from the working
- a third proportion of the aqueous salt solution in the working chamber, together with any gaseous electrolysis products from the working chamber, is output through the output line of the working chamber to a gas/liquid separator.
- the gaseous electrolysis products may then be dissolved in a supply of water, for example mains water, by way of a gas/liquid mixer such as a venturi or the like, and the third proportion of the aqueous salt solution either discharged or returned to the input line of the working chamber.
- a proportion of the aqueous salt solution in the auxiliary chamber is output through the output line of the auxiliary chamber and recirculated, by way of a gas/liquid separation chamber, to the input line of the auxiliary chamber.

- aqueous salt solution with a high mineral content (shown as supply A in the Figure) , for example a saturated solution of sodium chloride, is supplied to the anode chamber 1 under excess pressure with the help of the device 11. Under the action of this pressure, the aqueous salt solution from the anode chamber 1 penetrates through the ceramic diaphragm 3 and fills the cathode chamber 4. After the anode and cathode chambers 1,4 are filled with aqueous salt solution, an electric current is supplied across the anode 2 and the cathode 5.
- supply A shown as supply A in the Figure
- chloride ions on the surface of the anode 2 are turned into gaseous chlorine, which is partially dissolved in the aqueous salt solution and, partly in the form of gas bubbles together with bubbles of oxygen formed during the electrolysis of the water, is raised into the upper part of the anode chamber 1.
- the anolyte obtained during the anodic treatment of the aqueous salt solution is drawn along with the gaseous products of electrolysis and leaves the anode chamber 1 by way of the exit nozzle 8.
- a greater proportion of the anolyte is separated from the gas and is directly returned, by way of pipe 12, to the entry nozzle 6, through which it is returned to the anode chamber 1.
- the greater part of the anolyte circulates around a closed contour formed by the anode chamber 1 and the pipe 12 which connects the nozzles 8 and 6.
- the gaseous products of electrolysis together with a lesser proportion of the anolyte, enter the gas separation tank 15 by way of pipe 13 and a pressure regulator 14 (which maintains the pressure, necessary for the anolyte to pass through the diaphragm 3 into the cathode chamber 4 from the anode chamber 1) .
- the gaseous products of electrolysis are separated from the anolyte in a tank 15 and enter a gas and liquid mixer 17 (for which a water-jet pump, venturi or similar may be used) by way of a pipe 16.
- the mixer 17 is positioned on a pipe 18 through which water, for example mains water, enters as supply C. Oxidising properties are given to this water after the gaseous products of electrolysis formed in the anode chamber 1 are dissolved therein.

- a filter 27 may be used for removing insoluble pollutants from the supply A of aqueous salt solution.
- the aqueous salt solution for example sodium chloride solution
- the aqueous salt solution is efficiently processed in the present invention, firstly because the anolyte is subjected to repeated anodic treatment due to the direct recirculation of the aqueous salt solution, and secondly because the anolyte which is carried away from the anode chamber 1 by the gaseous products of electrolysis is separated therefrom in the gas separation tank 15 and returned to the anode chamber 1 for repeated treatment.
- a saving of electrical energy is also achieved, because the anode and cathode chambers 1,4 are filled with aqueous salt solutions with a relatively high mineral content and consequent low ohmic resistance. Furthermore, the device 11 for increasing the pressure of the aqueous salt solution supplied to the anode chamber 1 and the pressure regulator 14 positioned on the pipe 13 which connects the exit nozzle 8 of the anode chamber 1 to the gas separation tank 14 helps to ensure that the cathode chamber 4 is supplied through the ceramic diaphragm 3 with aqueous salt solution having a relatively high mineral content.
