Each
Suprox
generator consists of an diaphramatic electrolyser, in which
a brine solution is being electrolysed. The electrolyser
consists of two chambers (anode and cathode chamber)
separated by a diaphragm.
A brine solution of sodium chloride (NaCl) in
water passes through the electrolyser, an electric current
flows between the electrodes, therefore the brine solution
undergoes electrolysis. The oxygen ions and the chlorine
ions are attracted to the anode, they oxidised i.e.
electrons are removed from them. The sodium ions and
hydrogen ions are attracted to the cathode electrons are
added to them i.e. they are reduced.
A diaphragm separates the Anolyte and Catholyte solutions that are activated respectively at the
anode and cathode of the cell. Thus preventing the two
streams mixing and inter-reacting to form a simple sodium
hypochlorite solution.
As result of electrolyses, we have an oxidised
solution (Anolyte) that has
lost some hydrogen and sodium ions from the Anode. From the
cathode we have a reduced solution (Catholyte) with an excess of sodium and hydrogen.
By blending the Activated Solutions (Anolyte &
Catholyte)
Suprox
Liquids are formulated.
