Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing electrolyzed water composition for use in cleaning and disinfecting of an object. The method comprises preparing an electrolyte solution comprising water, at least one carbonate salt selected from: alkali metal carbonate salts, and at least one chloride salt selected from: alkali metal chloride salts and/or alkali earth metal chloride salts. The method further comprises introducing the aqueous electrolyte solution into an electrolytic cell comprising a plurality of boron-doped diamond electrodes. The method further comprises operating a power supply to apply a predetermined voltage to the electrolyte solution to produce an electrolyzed water composition comprising a plurality of active molecular and ionic species with antimicrobial activity.
Abstract: The present invention provides an electrolysis system for producing an electrolyzed water composition. The system comprises a reservoir (2) comprising an aqueous electrolyte solution. The system further comprises an electrolytic flow cell (4) in fluid communication with the reservoir (2) to receive a feed stream comprising aqueous electrolyte solution. The cell (4) comprises a plurality of boron doped diamond electrodes, in which the electrodes are connected to a power supply operable to provide an over-potential to the electrolyte solution to produce an electrolyzed water feed stream comprising a plurality of active molecular and ionic species. The system further comprises a control system (8) operable to control the power supply unit (11) in dependence on the salt concentration of the electrolyte solution to provide a predetermined voltage to the cell.
