    摘要: To provide a production method and a production apparatus of a sodium hypochlorite solution that can produce a sodium hypochlorite solution with a high available chlorine concentration at a low cost using an on-site facility. In production of a sodium hypochlorite solution by feeding secondary salt water as an aqueous sodium chloride solution, in an electrolyzer 10 comparted into an anode chamber 2 and a cathode chamber 3 by an ion-exchange membrane 1, to the anode chamber and, after electrolysis, introducing an anolyte and a generated chlorine gas in the anode chamber and an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution generated in the cathode chamber into a reaction tank 20 to allow the anolyte, the chlorine gas, and the generated aqueous sodium hydroxide solution as a catholyte to react in the reaction tank, a primary salt water generation step of dissolving raw salt G containing sodium chloride as a main component in purified water B to generate primary salt water, and a chelating step of chelating the primary salt water to generate secondary salt water A are included, in which a decomposition rate of salt ranges from 80 to 95%.

    摘要: A system for controlling an electrochemical production process includes a variable controllable power circuit and an electrolytic cell. The cell includes two electrodes and operates in different states dependent on the potential difference across the electrodes. The system includes a power circuit controller that causes the power circuit to apply a given potential difference across the electrodes to initiate operation of the cell in the one of multiple possible states associated with the given potential difference. The possible states include a production state associated with a first non-zero potential difference in which a product of interest is produced, and an idle state associated with a second non-zero potential difference in which the product of interest is not produced. A monitoring and control subsystem maintains a predefined set of production process conditions, including a predefined operating temperature range, while the cell operates in both the production state and the idle state.

    摘要: An apparatus assembly and method for the electrolytic production of a hypochlorous (HOCl) acid solution are disclosed. A first controlled amount of water, such as tap water, a second controlled amount of an acidic solution (acetic acid or CH3COOH), and a third controlled amount of a sodium chloride (NaCl) solution, preferably from a brine solution, are mixed by injecting the same in a reaction loop comprising an electrolytic reactor configured to electrolyze the mixture into the HOCl solution. Preferably, the electrolytic reactor comprises DSA (dimensionally stable anodes). The mixture is circulated in the reaction loop until the HOCl solution is formed. The assembly can be monitored in real-time and remotely for quality control. The disinfecting solution as produced comprises 330-460 ppm HOCl at a pH between 5 and 6, preferably at a pH of 5.5, the solution being stable at least up to 6 months after being produced.
