  • the pushing of the anolyte into the cathode chamber leads to a deterioration in the properties of the resulting solutions and an increase in energy consumption.
  • the required pressure difference can be maintained both by maintaining a pressure in the anode chamber of the reactor exceeding atmospheric pressure in the cathode chamber and by maintaining vacuum in the cathode chamber at a pressure close to atmospheric (evacuation of the cathode circulation loop). While maintaining high pressure in the anode chamber due to the evacuation of the circulation circuit, it is fed by supplying a highly mineralized electrolyte solution to the lower point of the circulation circuit before entering the cathode chamber, and selection processed highly mineralized electrolyte for mixing - from the upper part of the capacity of the circulation circuit.

Abstract

L'invention appartient au domaine de l'électrochimie appliquée et peut s'utiliser dans les domaines techniques où l'on emploie des produits désinfectants utilisés pour la désinfection et la stérilisation de différents objets, en industrie comme en médecine. Selon l'invention, on introduit en tant qu'inhibiteur de corrosion dans des produits désinfectants, qui se présentent comme des solutions aqueuses chlorées d'oxydants avec un pH 6,5 - 7,5, avec une teneur globale en sel de 0,2 - 2,0 g/l et une teneur en oxydants de 80 à 1000 mg/l (et dont le procédé de fabrication comprend le traitement d'une solution aqueuse initiale d'un chlorure de métal alcalin dans une chambre anodique d'un réacteur électrochimique à diaphragme), un alcool à faible poids moléculaire à un ou deux atomes ou un mélange de ces alcools, l'inhibiteur de corrosion étant introduit dans la solution d'oxydants dans des quantités allant jusqu'à 10 % en volume après le traitement dans une chambre d'anode, ou avant l'utilisation. La quantité d'éthanol introduite est déterminé selon la formule Cal=(18,4 x CNaCl)x Cox, dans laquelle Cal est la concentration d'éthanol, m mol/l CNaCl est la concentration de chlorure de sodium, g/l Cox est la concentration d'oxydants, m mol/l. L'invention concerne aussi des procédés de fabrication de solutions aqueuses d'oxydants et un produit désinfectant.
