METHOD OF DECONTAMINATION AND PRESERVATION OF WATER Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: electrical chemical treatment of water including decontamination and preservation. SUBSTANCE: method includes introduction of antimicrobial agent in form of silver ions by means of electrodissolution of electrodes under action of direct current. Introduction of antimicrobial agent is effected at stabilized current with density of this current irregularly distributed over active surface of electrodes monotonically increasing with distance from contact unit of electrode. EFFECT: reduction of nonproductive consumption of metals of dissolved electrodes due to avoidance of their wear and destruction in zone of contact unit.
