The paper experimentally investigates and theoretically substantiates a reagent-free electrochemical technology for fresh natural water purification, which simulates oxidative, reduction and filtration processes of water purification for the needs of agriculture. The use of the latest advances in the design of flow-through electrochemical diaphragm reactors has made it possible to develop a universal technology for removing heavy metal, iron, manganese ions, dissolved organic compounds of natural and artificial origin, microorganisms of all types and forms, as well as microbial toxins and pharmaceuticals from water. The versatility of the technology lies in the possibility of its application not only for fresh water, but also for water with any degree of mineralization. Based on the obtained experimental data, a compact high-performance unit for purifying natural fresh water to obtain high quality drinking water has been created.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
