State of the art

Treatment of liquids by means of electrolysis is a well-known

Process for the treatment of liquids. This method relies on applying a voltage to two electrodes that is subjected to a membrane that may be permeable or semi-permeable. This membrane prevents the mixing of the different liquids forming in the two electrode chambers. Known methods are the u. a. Diaphragm electrolysis, also as a diaphragm

CONFIRMATION COPY Electrolysis called. A corresponding method is known, for example, from EP 1 380 543 A1. For this purpose, an electrolytic cell is used which has an anode compartment with an anode and a cathode compartment separated from the anode compartment by a diaphragm with a cathode. The anions and other, negatively charged particles in the liquid move in the direction of the anode and the cations and other positively charged particles in the direction of the cathode, so that the negatively charged particles are enriched in the anode space and the cations are enriched in the cathode space.

Accordingly, a liquid called anolyte solution or anolyte, which has a positive redox potential and thus oxidizing properties, is formed in the anode space, while the catholyte solution or catholyte formed with the cathode space has a negative redox potential, ie reducing properties. The catholyte solution is usually strongly basic while the anolyte solution is acidic.

For the obtained by means of membrane electrolysis liquids, anolyte and catholyte, various properties are described. For the anolyte solution is z. B. a cleaning, decontamination and disinfecting effect known. The catholyte solution may be suitable for disinfecting and disinfecting surfaces. Typically, a saline solution, such as, in particular, a saline solution, is employed in membrane electrolysis to produce the corresponding anolyte and catholyte.

A known apparatus for electrochemical treatment of water and water solutions includes a coaxially mounted tube electrode and a coaxially mounted rod electrode, the first electrode being an anode and the second being a cathode; both electrodes are mounted vertically in the electrical supports and separated by ceramic tube junction, see RU 000002248940 Cl. The ceramic tube diaphragms form anodes and a cathode electrode chamber which are isolated from each other by a lower and an upper sealing ring. These sealing rings are located on the bottom and top ends of the tube Anode attached with its inner surfaces touching the outer surface of the wall of the ceramic tube diaphragm. The lower and upper end pieces of the tube anode have supply and discharge openings for the liquids. The length of the tube anode is not less than the length of the ceramic tube diaphragm formed as a microfilter of an alumina-based material, the wall thickness of this microfilter having different porosities.

A disadvantage of this device described therein lies in the porosity differences of the ceramic tube diaphragm. This leads to an uneven current distribution along the tube diaphragms and to an increased dissolution and destruction of the tube junction of the anode. In addition, this can lead to a corresponding loss of power. The action of the electric current on the aluminum oxide contained in the ceramic tube diaphragm also releases aluminum ions, which have a negative effect on the human brain. Accordingly, such devices are not suitable for use, especially in the food industry.

From the document RU 000002287491 Cl a plant for the electrochemical treatment of water is known. This system consists of a housing, separated by a tube diaphragm chambers formed with them in anodes and cathodes. The cathode is in the form of a group of cylindrical rods made of corrosion-resistant steel, which are connected by a ring current line and attached to the inner edge of the housing. The anode is in the form of a group of cylindrical rods made of corrosion-resistant steel. These are connected by a ring current line and mounted in the middle of the housing. The anode compartment and the cathode compartment are separated by a diaphragm of microporous plastic.

A disadvantage of this system described in this document lies in the microporous plastic of the diaphragm. The action of the electric current on the microporous plastic releases odors that are at risk medium, like liquids, have a very negative effect. Under the influence of the electric current, the long plastic molecules separate from the diaphragm and severely degrade the taste of beverages. These molecules, which are released by the diaphragm, also cause radicals that can have a negative impact on the human organism. Accordingly, the systems described, in particular not be used in the field of food technology.

EP 1 961 706 A2 describes a generic device for the electrical and chemical processing of water. This device for the electrical and chemical treatment of water or water solutions has an outer electrode in the form of a hollow cylinder and an inner electrode coaxially installed in this outer electrode. Between the outer electrode and the inner electrode, a semi-permeable diaphragm is arranged. Through this semi-permeable diaphragm, the electrode space is divided into an inner and an outer electrode chamber, wherein an opening is formed in the upper part of the side wall of the outer electrode, which connects the outer electrode chamber with an outlet channel for discharging liquid. In the upper part of the inner electrode, at least one opening is provided, which connects the inner electrode chamber with a liquid discharge channel. The inner electrode chamber is directly connected to a fluid supply channel. The inner electrode is formed in the lower region as a solid wall. Due to the corresponding design of this device, a high throughput is possible. The bottom plate of the device described is designed so that a liquid supply via corresponding openings of the bottom plate is possible. The liquid is supplied solely via the inner electrode chamber. The outer electrode, the inner electrode and the diaphragm are further attached to the lid, wherein the diaphragm is secured by splined connections. The inner electrode is designed in the form of a rod or a hollow cylinder. The electrode may also be designed in several parts, wherein the upper part has at least one opening which the Inner chamber connects to the drainage channel. The parts of the inner electrode are connected to each other by means of mechanical or threaded connection, in the lower part of the side wall of the outer electrode is provided at least one additional opening for connection of outer electrode chambers to the inflow channel. The inner electrode is an anode and the outer electrode is a cathode. The inner electrode is fixed by means of a retaining pin or a bolt on the lower and / or upper floor or ceiling. The semipermeable diaphragm is formed of zirconium or textile based ceramic. The diaphragm may be an ultrafilter or micro-filter or nanofilter. The disadvantage of this device is a limited range of applications, due to a broad range of acidity (pH of 2 to 12) and a large dispersion of redox potentials (eH from -950 mV to +1200 mV). This does not allow a reprocessing of liquids in the food industry.

Why can the human body absorb only 5-10% of the vital microelements and vitamins? In the course of evolution, the human body has taught to process only food that is easily absorbed or liquefied. Humans eat the fruits of trees and plants, which in turn are supplied with water saturated with microelements, acidic and alkaline residues. Before the water solutions are absorbed by plants and trees, they stand in the earth under the influence of telluric currents. A plant or tree picks up not just a simple water solution but an activated water solution that is absorbed by all the plant's fibers - root, stem, leaves, flowers and fruits. Humans still have much to learn from nature regarding the absorption capacity of healthy substances.

It is undisputed that the dissolution of the dry matter from liquids by electrochemical treatment increases the quality of the liquid. However, a much more important indicator for the uptake of healthy substances from liquids is the negative oxidation-reduction potential (Re- dox potential), an important key to future technologies in the food, alcohol, biotechnology and medical industries. Essentially all water, juices and alcoholic drinks +200 and more. For example, the redox potential of tap water is +150. So we drink "dead" water.To revitalize the water, other food liquids and alcoholic beverages, the redox potential must be negative, that is, the liquid must be electrically negatively charged.

Here are the following considerations: All life works by the internal electricity whose strength is measured in millivolts (mV) or microvolts (mkV). The well-known cardiogram shows how our "electric motor" (heart) works by pumping our blood through the blood vessels.The brain cephalogram shows how our "computer" (brain) works. The living electric current comes from billions of power plants of the cells, the mitochondria. There are hundreds in each cell of the organism and thousands of mitochondria in the cells of the heart and liver. In the late fifties astronaut training for space flight found that during the centrifugal experiments to simulate cosmic pollution, the amount of succinate in the blood of future astronauts increased sharply by ten to a hundredfold, suggesting that this substance was used as protection of the organism in critical situations and superhuman burdens. Professor Kondrasheva MN proved that the natural product succinate is a unique source of electrons that can support the cells and give new impulses to life in difficult moments of power generation. Her further investigations led to the development of the drug Mitomin, which at the cellular level can increase the energy of the organism, and in the thirties of the last century Professor Tzhezhevsky AL developed the electro-fluorescent lamp, which saturates the air with electrons. He also proved that only the negative ionization generated by the lamp and then inhaled air achieved a much better interaction of hemoglobin with oxygen, thereby penetrating much faster to the cells of the human body.

In addition, the memory stored by the water molecules at the electromagnetic level will not be erased, even if chemicals have been removed by reverse osmosis, physical or chemical cleaning. This confirms not only the homeopathy - initial drug dissolution up to 10 ^"9 - 10 ^{" 15} - or the significantly longer life expectancy in regions with originally clean water, but also the growing number of diseases in regions with purified but originally polluted water. The electrochemical treatment of water destroys this negative memory. The electromagnetic memory waves of the bad water interact with the electric treatment field, which destroys the memory mechanism and forms a new spatial configuration of the atomic arrangement within the water molecules.

Converting contaminated fresh water or water from desalination plants into high-quality mountain spring water can be a solution for regions with absolute water shortages and for saving the gene pool of future generations.

Object of the present invention is the provision of devices for the treatment of liquids, in particular for the electrochemical treatment of liquids to improve the properties of these liquids, in particular the concentration of unwanted compounds fertil in these liquids to reduce and thereby the redox potential of the liquid to reduce.

Another object of the present invention is to provide suitable methods for treating liquids, especially liquids in the food industry. Finally, appropriately treated liquids are provided which have improved properties, in particular undesired compounds in reduced amounts. hold.

Description of the invention

The present invention can solve the following technical problems:

multifunctionality

Generation of negative redox potential Values of the treated fluids

Increasing the pH according to the pH of the human blood or higher

Reduction of dry matter in the treated liquids Reduction of primary and secondary alcohols in the treated liquids

Reduction of aldehydes and essential oils in the treated fluids

Compactness of the liquid treatment device

Operational safety of the liquid treatment device

permanent and trouble-free operation of the liquid treatment device

- Little effort in the construction and dismantling of the liquid treatment device.

In a first aspect, a device for the electrochemical treatment of liquids is provided. This fluid treatment device for the electrochemical treatment of liquids comprises a liquid treatment device for the electrochemical treatment of liquids, comprising an outer electrode (1) in the form of a hollow cylinder and an inner electrode (2) coaxially installed in this outer electrode (1), wherein between the outer electrode ( 1) and the inner electrode (2) a semi-permeable diaphragm (3) is arranged, which divides the electrode space in an inner (4) and outer electrode chamber (5), wherein in the lower region of the inner electrode chamber (4), in particular in the bottom plate (6), an outlet for discharging the liquid from the inner electrode chamber (7) in which the inner electrode is located, and in the lower region of the outer electrode chamber (5) a discharge of the liquid (8) from the outer electrode chamber (5) whose outer electrode (1) forms the cathode, is arranged; In the upper region, feed openings are arranged in each of the electrode chambers (18, 19) to introduce liquids into the electrode chamber.

The liquid processing apparatus according to the invention is therefore suitable for working up liquids, in particular in the food industry, and for giving these liquids a negative redox potential, optionally for increasing the pH of this solution and for reducing, for example, primary and secondary alcohols in alcohols, in particular fusel alcohols. Furthermore, other undesired components, such as aldehydes and essential oils, can be reduced in the liquids.

The inventive device is characterized by excellent handling with little effort in construction and dismantling. It is a permanent, trouble-free operation of the system with high reliability possible.

In a preferred embodiment, the diameter of the inner electrode chamber is two to six times smaller than the diameter of the outer electrode chamber. In another embodiment, the liquid processing apparatus according to the present invention is characterized in that the diameter of the inner electrode chamber is larger by 1.5 times to 5 times than the diameter of the inner electrode. It turns out that the appropriate dimensioning of the electrode chambers and the anode gives liquids with the desired pH. The liquids also have a more pleasant taste and unwanted compounds, such as aldehydes or alcohols, are removed from the liquids. By appropriate dimensioning of the chambers and electrodes, it is also possible to achieve a minimum consumption of the treated liquid, but on the other hand to allow concentration of the undesired compounds, such as acid radicals, aldehydes, primary and secondary alcohols but also unpleasant-smelling essential oils.

According to the invention, the liquid to be treated is introduced both into the inner and outer electrode chamber. Furthermore, both the inner and outer electrode chambers have lead outlets and drains for discharging the treated liquids. These outlets are arranged in the lower region, preferably in the bottom of the chambers. As a result, the liquid can be easily removed from the system without additional external action, without the liquids being exposed to negative external influences, for example due to pressure loads, etc. The inlet openings are arranged in the upper region of the chambers, in particular in the lid of the device.

The inserted diaphragm is a semipermeable diaphragma. That is, the unwanted substances can migrate into the anode chamber (inner electrode chamber), but they do not leave again. Persons skilled in the art will appreciate suitable diaphragms. Preference is given to the semipermeable diaphragms selected from ceramic, textile, polypropylene, dielectric material, polyvinyl chloride, porous nitrocellulose, cellulose tissue or an ion exchange material or mixtures thereof. Preferably, the diaphragm is one of polyethylene (PE).

The porosity of the diaphragm is preferably in a range of 20 to 80 μηι, preferably 30-50 μπι.

The electrodes are also formed of known materials. In a preferred embodiment, the inner electrode, anode, is designed as a platinum or ruthenium-coated rod, in particular a titanium rod. Alternatively, the inner electrode is one formed of at least one graphite rod. The outer electrode is preferably a cylinder of food-grade steel (eg DIN 1 1850, 4301), the inner side preferably being platinum- or ruthenium-coated. It is further preferred that the inner electrode is supported on a dielectric holder with openings, wherein the holder is one with an opening for the anode, wherein the diameter of this opening is smaller than the anode diameter. This holder has further openings through which liquid can flow in the inner electrode chamber. Furthermore, preferably both the holder and the lid are formed dielectrically.

The term dielectric is understood herein to mean that the material is essentially nonconductive. The lid of the device according to the invention is preferably designed such that it has inlet devices for introducing the liquids into the outer electrode chamber and the inner electrode chamber. Furthermore, it is preferred that the device according to the present invention has the semipermeable diaphragm formed in a manner such that it acts as an ultrafilter, microfilter or nanofilter.

The inner electrode / anode is preferably designed such that it is in the form of a flat or ellipsoidal rod. Preferably, it is designed as a round rod. Alternatively, the inner electrode may be in the form of a hollow cylinder.

The device according to the invention can both be one which allows a batch-wise processing of the liquid as well as a continuous treatment of the liquid. Preferably, the device is one that allows a batch-wise treatment of the liquids. If the device according to the invention is used for continuous treatment, this requires a guarantee of a sufficient treatment period in the device.

Preferably, the treatment in the device is carried out over a period of at least 15 minutes. Thus, for water a preferred treatment time is at least 15 minutes, for alcoholic drinks at least 60 minutes. This period is preferably a period of at least 30 minutes for water and at least 120 minutes for liquor beverages. Preferably, the treatment is carried out for a maximum of 3 hours. For water, the maximum treatment time is preferably 2 hours.

The outlets are preferably arranged in the bottom region of the electrode chambers. In a particularly preferred embodiment, the outlets are integrated into the bottom plate on which the electrodes are arranged.

The inlets and outlets can be opened and controlled with appropriate devices. In a preferred embodiment, the outlets are to be opened and closed with valves, which are preferably formed electromagnetically. With the help of these valves, it is possible to control the discharge of the liquids from the electrode chamber. The supply and optionally the discharge can optionally be carried out via a corresponding pump. The same applies to the derivation of the liquid chains from the electrode chambers. The valves and the pump can be controlled by a control unit. This control unit regulates the treatment process in the device, ie period, applied voltage, supply and discharge of fluids, etc.

In a further aspect, the present invention is directed to a process for the treatment of liquids, especially aqueous liquids and water. The method is characterized in that it is carried out with a liquid treatment apparatus according to the present invention and the liquids are treated accordingly electrochemically.

According to the invention, the term liquids means any type of liquids. Preferably, the liquids are aqueous liquids and pure water itself. In preferred embodiments, the aqueous liquids are those from the food industry. These liquids are in particular alcoholic beverages, in particular high-proof spirits, such as vodka, cognac, brandy, rum, gin, whiskey, tequila, sake and fruit brandies or brandy. In another embodiment, the liquids are alcoholic beverages such as Wine, etc. The aqueous liquids further include non-alcoholic beverages such as juices and mineral water.

In another embodiment, the liquids are perfumery products.

However, the liquids can also be other liquids from the non-food range. Particular mention is made here of liquids in the construction sector, for example construction concrete or in the medical field, for example dental fillings but also liquid pharmaceutical products, such as injection and infusion liquids, etc. Furthermore, the liquids may contain fuels, eg. As kerosene.

In a preferred embodiment of the method according to the invention, the treatment of the liquid in the apparatus is carried out for at least 15 minutes, such as for water, e.g. for alcoholic liquids for at least 60 minutes. Preferably, the treatment period is at least 30 minutes for water and at least 120 minutes for alcoholic beverages. The treated liquid is removed from the outer electrode chamber (cathode chamber). In the inner chamber (anode chamber), the residue is also referred to below as the residue quantity. This residue is also removed from the system and then disposed of. In this residue, the undesirable compounds accumulate, including acid residues, aldehydes, primary and secondary alcohols, essential oils, etc.

Due to the electrochemical treatment, the concentration of the dry residue in the treated liquid is ten times lower than in the untreated liquid. Dry residues in the liquid cause unpleasant odors. Therefore, beer and vodka from regions with soft water and low proportion of suspended particles are considered to be particularly good. The quality of the water and raw materials is the quality of the end products of modern mass producers. In addition to suspended particles, alcoholics include aldehydes, primary and secondary alcohols, essential oils, methyl alcohol, which not only give the drinks a hard aftertaste, but also poisons and thereby harmful to the liver, kidneys, cerebellum and nervous system of humans. Negative sensations are peculiar to a person under the influence of alcohol: he can no longer speak clearly (influencing the cerebellum), his sense of balance suffers - he can no longer walk upright (influencing the cerebellum), his thinking capacity diminishes (influencing the brain), Increased excitability is often registered, which in many cases leads to violations of the law (influencing the central nervous system), the risk of stroke, heart attack, hypertonic crisis increases (influence on the blood capillaries), problems with autonomic vascular dystonia are aggravated (influence the blood capillary). Negative consequences of alcohol consumption can be: headache - toxins in the blood are attacked by blood cells, stomach pain or upset stomach - acidity and protein balance in the stomach, pain in the eyes - typical of diabetics, heavy thirst - alcohol deprives the body fluid, It is black to the eyes - impairment of the optic nerve, oppression, the feeling of "squeezed out lemon" can last 12 to 24 hours, the ability to work suffers - impairment of the central nervous system, strain on the liver, heart, kidneys and nervous system increases by five to fifty times - that is the result of the fight of blood against toxins, the probability of procreation of unhealthy children grows quite a bit - influence on the endocrine system.Makers of alcohol can not manage this amount of poisons modern mass production processes arise to bring under control. This is a weak point of modern production methods. The treatment reduces the toxins in alcoholic beverages by releasing the volatile components and reduces the acid residues. This leads to an improved taste, a fine aroma and a better finish. In addition, the treated drinks are electrically negatively charged by free electrons, which Lend cells can donate energy. This negatively charged fluid is taken up by the protective mechanisms of the organism as an additional aid in the fight against free radicals and as unimpeded supply of the mitochondria of the human cells. It is particularly advantageous for weakened, diseased organs or for people after surviving operations.

Thus, the present set of features for the multi-functional liquid processing device (device) to be notified is sufficient for the solution of the object and for attaining the set technical objectives.

Finally, the present invention relates to liquids, in particular aqueous liquids, which are obtainable by working up with a liquid preparation device according to the invention or liquids, in particular aqueous liquids, which are obtainable with the aid of the process according to the invention. These liquids are, in particular, those selected from alcoholic beverages, in particular spirits, such as vodka, whiskey, cognac, brandy, rum, gin, tequila, sake or wine or wine-based drinks, but also non-alcoholic beverages, such as juices, mineral water. In a further preferred embodiment, the liquids are perfumed products.

In the following, the invention will be further explained with the aid of the figures. FIG. 1 shows a device according to the invention. The liquid processing apparatus for electrochemical treatment as shown in Figure 1 shows the outer electrode 1 in the form of a hollow cylinder and an inner electrode 2 installed coaxially in this outer electrode 1. Between the inner electrode and the outer electrode 1, a semipermeable diaphragm 3 is arranged. By this diaphragm, the electrode space is divided into an inner electrode chamber 4 and an outer electrode chamber 5. In the lower part of these electrode chambers are outlets. In the lower area of the inner electrode chamber 4, in particular in the region of the base plate 6, the outlet 7 for discharging the liquid is located here of the anolyte, from the inner electrode chamber in which the inner electrode, in this case the anode, is located. In the lower region of the outer electrode chamber 5 is the outlet 8 for discharging the liquid, in this case the atholyts, from the outer electrode chamber 5. In a preferred embodiment, this outlet 8 is also integrated into the base plate 6.

In the upper region of the electrode chambers, supply means are arranged in each of the electrode chambers (18, 19) for introducing the liquids to be treated into the electrode chamber. In this case, the supply openings 18 and 19 in the cover 17 are preferred. Via these inlet openings, the liquid to be treated can be introduced into both the inner electrode chamber 5 and the outer electrode chamber 5.

The inner electrode (anode) is mounted on a holder 20. This holder 20 has an opening for receiving the electrode, wherein the diameter of this opening is smaller than the anode diameter. This holder also has further openings through which liquid can flow in the inner electrode chamber. Preferably, the holder is made of a dielectric material.

The liquid treatment device is in a preferred embodiment, as shown in Figure 1, connected to a control unit 1 1, for example, mounted on this control unit.

In a preferred embodiment, valves 9 and 10 arranged via the control unit in the outlets 7 and 8 are controlled. These valves are, for example, electromagnetic valves that control the outlet from the electrode chambers.

The device may further include a pump 12 for introducing and discharging the liquids.

As shown in Figure 2, the control unit may further include a rectifier and an electronic control board. These allow a shutdown of the process of liquid treatment with the switch 15 of the for the electromagnetic drain valve 9 and the arrival and Ab- switch by means of the switch 16 of the electromagnetic valve 10 with the pump 12th

As shown in Figure 1, the device may further comprise a centering device 21 made of a dielectric material having openings. This centering device has further openings by introducing the liquid.

When the centering device is designed to be open at the top, the level of the liquid to be treated is such that no exchange can take place between the inner electrode chamber and the outer electrode chamber.

In Figure 2, a switch for the power supply 14 is further shown. About the bulb 22 while the operating status of the device is displayed.

The control unit 1 1 with the rectifier 13 and the control board 14, the power supply to the electrodes is controlled.

As a result of the comparative analysis with devices of the prior art, the following new features were found in the multifunctional liquid preparation device according to the invention: the diameter of the inner electrode chamber (4) is two to six times smaller than the diameter of the outer electrode chamber (5) In the end product in the outer electrode chamber (5), the liquid with the required pH is obtained. Depending on the treatment mode, this pH value may be similar to the pH value of human blood; the liquid has a pleasant taste, both in water and in an alcoholic beverage, and has a negative redox potential value Organism digestible. In addition, the diameter of the inner electrode chamber (4) is one and a half to five times larger than the diameter of the anode (2), thereby ensuring, on the one hand, a minimum consumption of the treating liquid, and, on the other hand, concentrating poisons in the form of acid residues, Aldehydes, primary and secondary alcohols, unpleasant-smelling essential oils. made possible.

For the treatment of alcoholic beverages, drinking water can also be supplied into the inner electrode chamber (4), but in this case, a fall in the alcohol content in the final product is to be expected, which is undesirable for the end user.

The multifunctional fluid treatment unit (Fig. 1, 2) works as follows:

The power supply, the switch (14) and the electromagnetic valves (9) and (10) are switched off (valves closed). The liquid to be treated is fed into the outer electrode chamber (5) and into the inner electrode chamber (4). The control program of the electronic control board is set to a half to two hour conditioning mode. When switching on the power supply by means of switch (14), the light bulb (22) signals that the multifunctional liquid treatment device is in operation. Chlorine and fluorine may be released during the treatment process, depending on whether and with which halogen the water was originally treated. The halogen concentration is low and completely harmless to humans. During the treatment process of the alcoholic beverages volatile substances are released: essential oils, acids that have no unpleasant odor. The amount of hydrogen released in all types of treatment is negligible and harmless. The multifunctional liquid treatment device is silent in operation, which is of importance to the consumer. After approx. 30 min. For up to two hours, the program-controlled switch (14) will switch off the multifunctional liquid treatment device and emit a sound signal.

The program-controlled electromagnetic valve (9) of the inner electrode chamber (4) is opened. The liquid drained from the electrode chamber (4) is concentrated residues of acid residues, aldehydes, primary and secondary alcohols, essential oils. The unpleasant-smelling liquid is disposed of. The return Stands amount is about 2-3% of the total amount of the treated liquid and is collected in a corresponding container. In about eight seconds, the program-controlled electromagnetic valve (9) is closed. To drain the treated liquid from the outer electrode chamber (5) a corresponding container is required. The program-controlled electromagnetic valve (10) is opened. The treated liquid from the outer electrode chamber (5) represents the end product for the consumer.

The treated liquid should be stored in a dark, sealed vessel at room temperature and in a dark place. It would be desirable if the liquid on the surface had no contact with the air. Under these conditions, the treated fluid may retain its redox potential properties for many months. Two liquids are exempted: a) water to be stored in the refrigerator after treatment, b) dry wine (up to 14% alcohol) destroying the external stabilizer (sulfur dioxide) during treatment, therefore The treated wine should be used up within 1 to 2 days so that it does not oxidize.

The function of the liquid processing apparatus is shown in the following embodiments:

The treated whiskey has gained a lot of flavor by reducing the negative factors, the flavor has been improved many times, which corresponds to a 50 year old stored whiskey. The whiskey became a, from the redox potential, negatively charged beverage with increased internal vital energy. This fluid is taken up by the protective mechanisms of the organism as an additional aid in the fight against free radicals and as unimpeded supply of the mitochondria of the human cells.

The beverage treated in this way should be stored in a dark place, sealed, as it will lose its negative electrical properties when exposed to light and when in contact with oxygen.

The treated wine has gained much in taste by reducing the negative factors, the flavor has been improved many times over. The treated wine now corresponds to a stored about 50 years old wine. The wine became a negatively charged liquid from the edox potential. The liquid treatment device has no influence on the sugar concentration in the wine. The activated wine, however, provides for an improved intake of sugar, its conversion into energy for the cells and for additional help in the fight against free radicals. The liquid treatment device has no influence on natural wine colors and also has no influence on phenol or tannins. The wine, however, gets a more saturated color.

The drink treated in this way should be stored in a dark place and sealed, under the influence of light and light when in contact with oxygen, this beverage loses its redox potential properties.

The liquid conditioner can detect counterfeits when a

Manufacturer or seller has provided the alcohol intended for sale with foreign dyes, for example, to emulate well-known brands. In this case, the consumer will either have a completely colorless liquid after the treatment (in case of fake brandy and

Cognac) or a highly bleached color of the fake wine.

The treated wine receives a delicate aroma, so that the fragrance of the grape variety can be more effective. The treated wine is more pleasant in the

Finish and aftertaste.

Embodiment 3

Treated tap water. Amount of water 3.0 1, treatment time

- 2 hours, residue amount - 60 ml.

Characteristics of the treated water: hardness - 0.5 mg / 1; Iron - 0.001 mg / 1;

Parmanganate Oxidizability - 0.1 mg / 1; pH 8.5 (before treatment pH 6.5); eH

= -120 mV (before treatment +150 mV).

The purified, redox-activated (reducing, basic) liquid can fulfill its role as a drug delivery agent to the diseased organs. Since its activity is much higher than the activity of a conventional liquid that accompanies the drug intake, the intake of the drug can be improved a lot. This can also reduce drug dosage, reduce liver and kidney loads, and shorten treatment times.

The redox-active fluid can promote the absorption of minerals from the organism and support the transport of vitamins, microelements and nutrients to the cells. The treated water absorbs less gas than untreated. The hydration of the organism with this water can prevent various diseases caused by a bad diet, weakened immunity. Washing with treated water in the morning and in the evening can naturally reduce wrinkling. As an example, the skin should be used by mountaineers whose skin stays taut and fresh longer. In the mountains, the concentration of negatively charged ions and electrons is very high (ionization of the air by cosmic radiation). These ions and electrons do not reach us in the valley. However, when a man washes his face and hands with redox-active liquid whose density is a thousand times greater than the density of air, the skin-refreshing effect may be even more pronounced.

Humans consist of about 70-80% water and over the years can accumulate on the inner walls of the bloodstream and capillary LIn amounts of potassium, calcium, magnesium and cholesterol. This can worsen the heat exchange and the mechanical properties (elasticity, permeability) and the vascular system to such an extent that the person suffers from serious and hardly to be treated diseases: arteriosclerosis, infarction, stroke, arthritis, polyarthritis and other diseases. The reduced water can purify the capillaries and blood vessels of these deposits and the positively charged ions of potassium, magnesium and cholesterol and neutralize free radicals. Since an electron is several times smaller than an atom, it can also reach hard to reach places in the circulatory system. By treating the water with electric current, we supply it with energy, which can then be passed on directly to our body at the cellular level. The same happens with pipelines, boilers, washing machines, where deposits are also recorded. These can be cleaned without much effort only by the treated water.

Seeds of flowers, herbs and vegetables can thrive better if they have been soaked in basic water before. With this water poured plants can have a higher yield. The production of new antibiotic strains can be speeded up a lot if water used as part of the nutrient is used, which can influence the growth of the microorganisms. This could trigger the development of a whole new class of antibiotics.

According to the Greenpeace report ("Toxic Water" - early February 2005), 36 known fragrances have been found to contain dangerous chemical compounds such as phthalates and synthetic musk compounds, which in the body are converted to monoethyl phthalates based on the DNA and respiratory function of the lungs They cause liver and kidney damage, are dangerous to male functioning, affect the development of the sexual organs of male fetuses in the womb, destroy the endocrine system, interfere with hormonal exchange and serve as catalysts for other harmful chemical compounds Perfume with the liquid treatment device, the contraction of pollutants can be reduced.

Further possible uses of the fluids treated by the fluid treatment device:

• Production of stable fillings

• Producing a solid construction clay for seismically active regions. The fluid treatment device is a simple device by design and can be manufactured in any factory where mechanical processing is possible. LIST OF REFERENCE NUMBERS
