Abstract: A system is provided for removing dissolved metals from industrial wastewater by electrocoagulation. The system includes an electrocoagulation reactor with a DC power supply having an insulation support enclosure with positive and negative electrode plates disposed thereon. The electrode plates are insulated for each other but remain in direct contact with the wastewater as it flows between the electrodes. The DC power supply induces opposite charges on alternate electrodes thereby generating an electric field between adjacent electrodes to cause the electrodes to ionize and go into solution for interaction with the contaminants in the wastewater as it flows through the reactor. The reactor is housed in a pressure vessel container so the exterior pressure on the reactor is higher than its internal pressure preventing leakage of fluids and oxygen and hydrogen gases produced in the reactor by decomposition of water. The pressure vessel allows higher operating pressures to retain higher concentrations of dissolved oxygen and hydrogen dispersed in the water for reaction with the contaminants. The electrical supply includes explosion proof connection housings for operation in hazardous environments. The system also includes a cyclone filter for separating the precipitated solid particles from the fluid and automatic control of the reactor by monitoring fluid flow, temperature, pH, and pressure.

Abstract: Electrolysis is carried out while supplying an aqueous sodium chloride solution having a weak acidic property to the anode chamber of a water electrolytic cell. The electrolytic cell is partitioned with a cation-exchange membrane into an anode chamber and a cathode chamber. Furthermore, because the pH of the anolyte is sufficiently reduced due to the acid content and pH of the liquid supplied to the anode chamber from the start of electrolysis, which is different from a conventional electrolytic method, the electrolysis of the present invention may be carried out for a time needed to obtain a sufficiently high oxidation reduction potential. Thus, acid water almost the same as that obtained in a conventional method is obtained in the present invention by consuming about {fraction (1/10)} the electric power that is used in a conventional method.

Abstract: A mineral ionizing device (10) consisting of a container (20) filled with water and containing a solid-mineral, cylindrical first electrode (50), a second electrode (58) coaxially located within the first electrode (50), a vibration unit (100) which produces a vibration within the container (20), a set of protrusions (64) located on the surface of the second electrode (58) and a periodic current reversing unit (84) which applies a d-c current across the first and second electrodes (50,58). The combination of the vibration unit (100), the protrusions (64) and the current reversing unit (84) aids in releasing gaseous bubbles which form on the surface of the second electrode (58). The application of the d-c current causes the mineral in the first electrode (50) to release mineral ions into the water which results in the production of very clean mineral water.

Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, it has been discovered that exposure of a variety of fluids to electrical energy improves the purity thereof. In addition, exposure to electrical energy also imparts a variety of additional advantages to purification processes to which fluids are commonly subjected, such as, for example, reverse osmosis, filtration, liquid separation processes, and the like. For example, invention treatment may prolong the operating life of reverse osmosis membranes, may reduce the propensity of contaminants in fluid being treated to foul a membrane, may increase the flow rate of fluid through a membrane being used for the purification thereof, may reduce the volume of fluid required to produce a unit of treated fluid in a reverse osmosis process, may reduce the pressure required to transport fluid across a membrane being used for the treatment thereof, and the like.

The electrolytic reactor includes an anode, cathode and a packed bed of particulate ion exchange material which, preferably, is modified by converting a portion of the transfer sites to semiconductor junctions which act as mini anodes, or cathodes, to significantly increase the capacity of the reactor to oxidize or reduce the species to be treated, or split water. The ion exchange material may be a monobed of either modified anion exchange material or modified cation exchange material, or a mixed bed of both, and can be in direct contact with either the anode or cathode, or separated from both.

Abstract: A floatable sanitizer employs a plurality of electrodes to contact a body of water in order to achieve a near maintenance-free sanitizing chemical generator. In one embodiment, the sanitizing chemical is chlorine and the chlorine is generated by an electrolytic process. The electrolytic reaction may be powered by photovoltaic cells, making the apparatus self-contained and able to float freely within a body of water. In one embodiment, the energy source is channeled through a polarity-reversing module. The polarity-reversing module alternates the direction of the current generated by the photovoltaic cells at a predetermined time interval. The reversing of the polarity reduces scale build-up and prevents corrosion of the metal electrodes.

Abstract: An electrolytic process and apparatus are disclosed for water purification and pH adjustment. The electrolytic reactor includes an anode, cathode and a bed of particulate ion exchange material modified by converting a portion of the transfer sites to semiconductor junctions. The ion exchange material may be a monobed of either modified anion exchange material or modified cation exchange material, or a mixed bed of both. Undesirable ions are exchanged onto the ion exchange material at the ion exchange sites. Regenerant ions, produced at the semiconductor junctions then exchange with the undesirable ions attached to the ion exchange material, and the undesirable ions migrate through the bed toward the respective anode or cathode and out of the aqueous solution. The pH of the aqueous solution can be adjusted by passing the solution through either a modified cation resin bed or through a modified anion resin bed to lower or increase the pH, respectively.

Abstract: A method of reducing scale formation in an aqueous solution using an electrolysis apparatus which has, in an electrolysis chamber, at least two electrodes and a bipolar electrode between the two electrodes includes feeding an aqueous solution to the electrolysis chamber, applying either a DC potential to the two electrodes so that one electrode is an anode and the other electrode is a cathode and reversing the polarity of the electrodes at intervals so that the composition of the aqueous solution remains essentially unchanged, or applying an AC potential to the two electrodes, producing, after the aqueous solution has passed through the electrolysis chamber, a treated aqueous solution having a significantly reduced tendency to form scale.
