The proton-IQ® technology for electrolyzed water (EW) is based on a new, previously unknown law about abnormal changes in the reaction and catalytic capabilities of aqueous solutions, which correspond to an electrochemical unipolar (either anodic or cathodic) Treatment. EW is necessarily associated with a change in its chemical composition, acidity and (or) alkalinity in a wide range.
Therefore the EW application makes the following possible:
- to exclude the regulation of the solution properties with expensive reagents from routine technological processes;
- Improving the quality of the treated substances;
- reduce the number and duration of technological operations;
- to reduce their labor-intensive nature;
- Facilitation and simplification of water and wastewater purification.
In contrast to known electrochemical reactions, in the processes of electrochemical activation the starting substances are dilute aqua salt solution (salt solution) and tap water. The possible EW products are not concentrated chemical substances, but activated solutions (anolytes and catholytes): liquids with a low mineral content in a metastable state that have increased chemical activity. The synthesis of electrochemically activated solutions is only possible if a unipolar electrochemical exposure is combined with the treatment of as many micro-volumes of liquid as possible in the high-voltage electrical field of a double electrical layer near the electrode surface.
