Patent number: 9580339Abstract: The invention relates to a drop-in cell for disinfection of water from bathing pools, particularly whirlpools, with an electrolytic cell (10) which can be flowed through by water and has two contact electrodes (1, 2), which are positioned in parallel and spaced apart from each other, and preferably at least one bipolar diamond particle electrode (3), which is arranged between the contact electrodes (1, 2) at a distance from them. The electrodes (1, 2, 3) are joined together by spacers (4) located between them to form an elongate, approximately cuboidal electrode pack, which is embedded in a casing (6) of plastic or synthetic resin while leaving an inflow and an outflow free. The user/customer is therefore provided with a drop-in cell which can be positioned in the circuit of the pool water or in the whirlpool and can be “installed” or, as and when required, removed and/or replaced without any problem by the user/customer himself.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2010Date of Patent: February 28, 2017Assignee: pro aqua Diamentelektroden Produktion GmbH und Co KGInventors: Robert Hermann, Michael Schelch, Wolfgang Staber, Wolfgang Wesner

Publication number: 20080251759Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing ionic liquids and ionic solids which takes recourse to a novel, especially modular production process. According to the inventive method, those salts from an ionic carbonate, hydrocarbonate or monoalkyl or monoaryl carbonate precursor (cationic synthesis module) are produced that comprise the desired quaternary ammonium, phosphonium, sulfonium or the analogous quaternary heteroaromatic cation. This precursor can be produced and stored efficiently and with a high degree of purity. The actual process for producing the desired ionic compound, which comprises the introduction of the desired anion, is, unlike generic production processes known so far, flexible, fast and generally applicable. In a preferred embodiment, the carbonate, hydrocarbonate or monoalkyl or monoaryl carbonate anion is completely removed in the form of a gaseous carbon dioxide by reaction with any Brønsted acid (anionic synthesis module) and is replaced by the anion that is conjugated to acid.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 19, 2004Publication date: October 16, 2008Inventors: Roland Kalb, Wolfgang Staber, Michael Schelch, Michael Kotschan, Robert Hermann, Wolfgang Wesner
