Water (H2O) is made up of 2 parts hydrogen and 1 part oxygen
(H2O). Hydrolysis means, etymologically, decomposition by
water. Electrolysis is a process that generates hydrogen and
oxygen by means of electricity and water.
When the electric
current passes through the water the chemical bond is broken,
the negative charges or oxygen ions emmigrate towards the
positive electrode (anode). The hydrogen ions that are positively
charged are attracted by the negative electrode (cathode).
The decomposition that occurs is the following:
Electric energy +2 H2O --> 2 H2 + O2
This results in an extra negative element, seeing how in the
combination the umber of electrodes exceeds by 1 the number
of protons. Now it is one sole hydroxide negatively charged, or
a hydroxyl ion. (OH-)
In HYDROLYSIS there are a number of secondary chemical reactions,
that produce ionic species with oxidant and disinfectant
abilities, like the ozone (O3), monoatomic oxygen (O1), and
hydrogen peroxide (H2O2).
The electronic circuit in our electronic
box transforms the current (220 V, 50 Hz) into continuous
current of low voltage and HIGH amperage. This current
is supplied by titanium electrodes activated by noble metals
located in the recirculation of the water in a support especially
designed this purpose.
In these non soluble electrodes a
combination of one of the most powerful oxidants in existence
for water disinfection is created, avoiding the use of chemical
products. In the following chart you will see the power values
of REDOX of the elements produced by hydrolysis. |
