METHOD OF PRODUCING CATHOLYTE-ANTIOXIDANT AND APPARATUS FOR REALISING SAID METHOD Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC C02F1/46 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to applied electrochemistry and can be used to produce a liquid catholyte-antioxidant used in medicine, agriculture, sanitation, construction and metallurgy. The water to be treated is passed along the surface of a negatively charged high-voltage electrode while varying potential across the electrode until the catholyte reaches given optimum pH values ranging from 7 to 11, after which the obtained catholyte is discharged into a sealed vessel in which a vacuum of 5-10 torr is formed beforehand, wherein said sealed vessel is filled with the catholyte to a level in the range of 95-97% of its total inside volume. Further, after filling the sealed vessel with the catholyte, the catholyte is saturated with hydrogen by passing hydrogen through the volume of the catholyte and a hydrogen atmosphere at 900-1000 torr is formed in the sealed vessel over the catholyte.

EFFECT: invention simplifies the process of processing water into a catholyte; enables to obtain a catholyte-antioxidant with optimum combination of pH and redox potential, which improves quality and efficiency of the catholyte.
