Abstract
Method for the electrolytic preparation of hypochlorite in flowing salt-containing water for the purpose of disinfecting swimming baths, massage baths, drinking water etc. by means of an electrolysis reactor comprising a "scale-retarding" cathode having an open structure and a specific surface of at least 10 cm.sup.2 /cm.sup.3.
Claims11
Method for the electrolytic preparation of hypochlorite in flowing water containing from about 0.05M to 0.5M chloride ions, comprising converting the chloride ions to hypochlorite utilizing an electrolysis reactor, wherein the cathode of the electrolysis reaction has an open structure and a surface area of at least 100 cm.sup.2 /cm.sup.3.
A method for disinfecting flowing water containing about 0.05M to about 0.5M chloride ions, comprising passing the water through an electrolysis reactor which converts the chloride ions to hypochlorite, wherein the cathode of the electrolysis reactor has an open structure and a specific surface area of at least 100 cm.sup.2 /cm.sup.3.
