Abstract: A redox bipolar cell fabric washing system and method is disclosed that provides for washing fabrics without the use of any added detergents, fabric softeners, or bleaches, or other chemical al additives. The system includes a conventional fabric washing machine with a redox bipolar cell that through a circulation pump continuously treats the wash water by using mixed oxidants or charged wash water to remove contaminants from the fabric. The redox cell includes a housing, a plurality of cathode plates, a plurality of membranes, and a plurality of anodes proximately positioned in an alternate manner with a plurality of flow channels in the housing. The cell produces charged wash water by an electrochemical reaction utilizing electrically charged anodes and cathodes with semi permeable membranes, wherein the oxidation reduction potential of the charged wash water is continuously controlled with a sensor to determine when the fabrics are clean.

Abstract: A piece of soiled fabric is cleaned by contacting it with a jet of an ionized soil-dislodging gas to dislodge the soil therefrom. The ionized gas and the use of an oppositely charged electrostatic filter aid in preventing redeposition of the soil onto the fabric. The fabric may be agitated while it is contacted with the gas jet. A portion of the piece of fabric may be treated with an electrostatic spotting compound that enhances the effect of the ionized gas and may also enhance the removal of the soil. An apparatus for accomplishing the cleaning includes a container having an interior in which the fabric is received, a gas jet nozzle directed into the interior of the container, a source of a pressurized gas communicating with an inlet of the gas jet nozzle, a gas jet manifold extending from the source to the gas jet nozzle, and a gas ionizer disposed to ionize the pressurized gas passing through the gas jet nozzle.

Abstract: An electrolytic cell for the electrolysis of a sodium chloride solution includes a cathode compartment having therein a cathode for producing hydrogen during electrolysis and an anode compartment having therein an anode for producing chlorine gas during electrolysis. A single conduit is at the bottom of the cell for charging sodium chloride solution into the compartments and for discharging therefrom solutions resulting from electrolysis. A porous partition substantially separates the compartments and has a lower end terminating above the bottom of the cell at the single conduit, such that the lower ends of the compartments are in free communication. A mixing chamber is connected to the upper ends of the two compartments to mix the hydrogen and chlorine gas and to dynamically balance the pressures in the two compartments, thereby preventing mixing of the products of electrolysis from the two compartments.

Abstract: An electrolytic assembly and a laundry treatment apparatus. An electrolytic assembly includes an electrolytic device, a heating member, and a mounting device. The electrolytic device includes an electrode. The electrolytic device and/or heating member is connected to the mounting device. The heating member and the electrode are located on the same side of the mounting device. The electrolytic assembly can produce a hydroxyl radical having a strong oxidization activity by electrolyzing water by means of the electrolytic device to perform disinfection and sterilization, and can further heat a liquid to a required temperature by means of the heating member. The integration of the heating member and the electrolytic device can facilitate the arrangement of the structures of the heating member and the electrolytic device more compact and facilitate overall assembly/disassembly.
