Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for obtaining inhibitively active "I" water and stimulatively activated "S" water which comprises:a parallelipipedic column having an open top;a support for said column;a cover closing said top of said column;at least one electrode assembly in said column and including:a pair of spaced apart mutually parallel porous membranes defining between inner surfaces thereof a supply space receiving water to be separated into inhibitively activated "I" water and stimulatively activated "S" water,respective porous electrodes spaced from outer surfaces of said membranes and parallel thereto, anda respective spacer between each of said electrodes and the respective outer surface whereby water flows outwardly from said supply space through said membranes and said electrodes;means for electrically connecting one of said electrodes as a positive electrode and the other of said electrodes as a negative electrode;means in said column for forming a first storage space adjacent said positive electrode f

Abstract: A method of enhancing growth of aquatic organisms in an aqueous mineral-containing electrolyte such as sea water which comprises:(a) installing a cathode and an anode in the electrolyte,(b) applying a steady, pulsed or intermittent direct electric current across the cathode and the anode to effect electrolysis,(c) providing accreted mineral material on the cathode,(d) recruiting aquatic organisms on or in the vicinity of the cathode, and(e) creating by electrolysis conditions of higher alkalinity in the electrolyte in the vicinity of the cathode than in the electrolyte remote from the cathode to cause growth of the aquatic organisms in the conditions in the vicinity of the cathode, the placement of the anode being done in such a way as to minimize the effects of hydrochloric acid produced at the anode.The method is particularly described with reference to the growth of organisms which deposit calcareous substances, such as corals, for the creation of artificial reefs or coastal defence structures.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for disposing of hazardous waste material by burning in a cement-producing kiln includes providing a predetermined quantity of hazardous waste material in a predetermined configuration, and providing an apparatus for aerating and using that apparatus to aerate the hazardous waste material to produce a supplementary fuel having a predetermined density. The method also includes providing an apparatus for injecting the hazardous waste material into the cement kiln and includes the step of injecting the hazardous waste material into the cement kiln at a predetermined injection rate thereby causing the hazardous waste material to burn while suspended in the kiln atmosphere and causing the hazardous waste material to supplement the primary fuel source and maintaining the cement-producing temperature within the kiln.
