The apparatus (62, 100, 150, 300, 370, 380, 400, 500, 600) includes a sparging device (50, 161, 163, 325, 326, 503, 505, 603, 605) and a functional generator (10, 40, 162, 324, 504, 604). The functional generator (10, 40, 162, 324, 504, 604) is in fluid communication with the sparging device (50, 161 , 163, 325, 326, 503, 505, 603, 605) and includes an anode chamber (24) and a cathode chamber (26) separated by an ion exchange membrane (27, 43).
Abstract:
An apparatus for converting solid waste. The apparatus includes a container at least partially filled with a solution. A cathode and an anode are disposed in the container and at least partially submerged in the solution. The container further includes an oxygen supply and an opening in the container for receiving waste material into the solution near the anode. The anode and cathode are electrically coupled by an electrically conductive path. Oxygen molecules are reduced at the cathode whereby electrons are added to the oxygen molecules in the solution so that, together with H+ ions, water is formed. Electrons take part in the dissociation of the waste material in the solution and are accepted at the anode, hi addition, chemical reactions on the electrode surface occur. The electrons then move to the cathode through the electrically conductive path, producing an electric current between the anode and cathode.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an apparatus for producing water of high oxygen content having high velocity of dissolution, and more particularly, to an apparatus for producing water of high oxygen content having high velocity of dissolution by allowing high purity oxygen obtained through the electrolysis of water without using electrolyte, additive or catalyst to pass through a fast dissolution unit. The apparatus of the present invention comprises a reservoir (100) for containing water therein; an oxygen generator (200) for producing and supplying high-purity oxygen; a fast dissolution unit (300) including a pump (310) connected to an input tube (110) for connecting with the reservoir (100) and the oxygen generator (200), a dissolution canister (330) connected to the pump (310) and mounted with injectors (320) at both ends thereof and provided with an non- woven fabric (331) therein, a coiled hose (340) connected to the dissolution canister (330), and a valve (350) installed between the coiled hose 340 and an output tube (120) connected to the reservoir (100); and a water discharge unit (130) including a connection tube (131) installed to one side of the reservoir (100) and a cork (132) connected to the connection tube (131). According to the present invention, there are advantages in that the apparatus for producing water of high oxygen content can be conveniently operated, does not generate noise, can be easily and safely managed because of not using electrolyte such as alkali, requires small electric power consumption, and can rapidly produce a safe high-concentration water of high oxygen content.
