Biocidal Action of Anolyte

Abstract

The anolyte, obtained during electrochemical activation of low mineralized water solutions possesses a strong biocidal action due to its physical-chemical properties. This study presents a brief report for the effect of anolyte application to samples of different kind of microorganisms. An idea of the physical-chemical processes taking place in the anode chamber of an electrolyzer is present. The changes in the parameters pH, ORP and the presence of active chlorine during the time and at different storage conditions of the anolyte were examined. The experiments showed their stability and preservation of biocidal activity for a period longer than 9 months. Experimental results from investigations of the biocidal effect of anolyte carried out in different laboratories are present.
