Utilizing Bipolar Electrode Patents (Class 205/511)
  • Patent number: 9481575
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method for producing electrolyzed water. Firstly, HCl is injected into an area for electrolysis provided with a negative and positive electrode plate respectively on its two inner sides and several small-sized electrolyzers. Then water is led into an area for water transport communicating with an electrolytic cell compartment by a retaining valve. Herein, electrolytic reaction occurs in the area for electrolysis. During such process, when the positive and negative electrode plates are electrified, HCl is decomposed to chlorine and hydrogen bubbles, which float up and store into a gas buffer area. For the pressure difference between the electrolytic cell compartment and the cell compartment for water transport, the chlorine and hydrogen in the gas buffer area enter the cell compartment for water transport through the retaining valve and form HClO with high stable concentration, high production efficiency and environmental friendly functions of sterilization and disinfection.

  • Publication number: 20020005362
    Abstract: A bipolar electrolytic cell can include, as a manifold, a spiral manifold assembly. This spiral manifold assembly will comprise a first outer assembly member, a second outer assembly member and a center assembly member. The overall structure can provide reduced loss of metal or gas and minimal loss of electrical current during an electrolytic process.

  • Patent number: 5667668
    Abstract: Pulping chemicals and hemicellulose are recovered from a starting solution essentially free of lignin but containing a mixture of hemicellulose and caustic by electrolyzing this solution in the anolyte compartment of an electrolytic cell. By electrolysis, the concentration of caustic in the anolyte is decreased and the concentration of caustic in a catholyte of said cell is increased so as to allow recovery of about 60 to about 80 percent of the caustic present in the hemicellulose caustic starting solution.
