SOME EXPERIMENTS WITH ELECTROCHEMICALLY ACTIVATED WATER

Abstract

Experiments on the physical properties of the Electrochemically Activated water carried out in the last few years are present. During the electrolysis of tap water with a semipermeable membrane two fractions – catholyte and anolyte are obtained with different values of the physical and chemical parameters. Power hydrogen and oxidation-reduction potential have been investigated by many researchers, but without precise evaluation of their changes at different intervals of time. Here, tables for the values of these parameters are present. New results, difficult to explain, are obtained in the following aspects: 1) Double activation with reversed electrodes; 2) Electroosmosis at different types of water, including tap water, distilled and de-ionized ones, and 3) Evaluation of the quantity of heavy metals in the water before and after activation. Since no description of the potential of the electrical field, produced by the electrodes of the electrolyzer, was found in the literature, measurement of the field between and around the electrodes in case of presence and absence of membrane have been carried out. The results could be of interest to the researchers trying to understand some of the anomalous properties of the electrolyzed water.
