METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ELECTROCHEMICAL MACHINING OF WATER-BEAR MEDIA Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: means of electrochemical machining of water-bear media with the use of radiation, applicable for production of biologically active water, preparation of special solutions, etc. SUBSTANCE: an anode and a cathode connected to a DC source with a porous diaphragm placed between them are positioned at a certain distance from each other in a chamber with a conduit for intake of the water-bear medium, for example, water, and a conduit for its discharge. Placed in the interelectrode space is a radiator of high-power nanosecond unipolar electromagnetic pulses, in particular in the form of a horn antenna connected to the generator of these pulses. Water is fed to the chamber through the conduit and direct current from the source is passed through the electrodes. At the same time water in the interelectrode space is radiated by means of the radiator by unipolar, electromagnetic pulses with a duration of less than 1 ns and power higher than 100 kW. Such water parameters as its pH-value, conductance and dielectric permittivity are monitored in the process of machining - at the beginning, in the middle, and at the end of the process. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency of aeration for provision of a higher stability of properties of activated water-bear medium. 4 cl, 1 dwg
