Product Manufactured: Oxidants Mixture Solution or Gaseous Oxidants Mixture

Electrochemically activated oxidants mixture – is a metastable moist gaseous oxidants mixture which is represented by chlorine (95%), chlorine dioxide (3%) and ozone (2%) and is manufactured under the pressure of 0,8 to 1,2 kilogram-force/cm² in AQUACHLOR device, namely, in anodic chambers of MB-26 compact flow modular elements equipped with ceramic zirconium-oxide diaphragms.

Electrochemically activated oxidants mixture solution – is a metastable solution having the рН-factor value of 2,0 to 3,5, which is manufactured by means of water and humid gaseous oxidants mixture mixing in ejector mixer of AQUACHLOR devices and represented by hypochlorous acid and molecular chlorine, for the most part. Within a short period of time after its generation (up to 1 hour) there could be ozone, atomic oxygen, chlorine dioxide found in aqueous solution of oxidants mixture in the ratios proportionate to quantitative composition of gaseous oxidants mixture, as well as a very low quantity of hydroperoxide compounds contained in moisture microdrops of gaseous oxidants mixture.

There is no less than 0,5 kg of oxidants mixture manufactured of each kilogramme of consumable salt obtained from the parent aqueous solution of sodium chloride having concentration of 200 – 250 g/l; oxidants mixture is represented by chlorine (95 – 96%), chlorine dioxide (3 – 4%), ozone (0,5 – 1,0%), as well as by hydroperoxide compounds (hydrogen peroxide, singlet oxygen, superoxide radicals) which are contained in moisture microdrops (0,2 – 0,5%). At the same time there is approximately 0,7 kg of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) simultaneously generated in the form of solution having concentration equal to 150 – 170 g/l, along with 17,5 grams of hydrogen, the latter being discharged via special hose out of the premises area where AQUACHLOR device is installed.

Oxidants mixture solution produced by AQUACHLOR devices is an antimicrobial and oxidizing reagent which is more efficient than monoagents aqueous solutions which are generated when only chlorine, only chlorine dioxide or only ozone are dissolved in water, because chemical reactions in which it is used submit to synergism principles, and the presence of low quantity of oxidizing substances which are more strong than chlorine prevents trihalomethanes generation during processing of water which contains great quantity of humus compounds.

In this connection, local authorities and institutions of State Sanitary and Epidemiological Service are recommended to periodically obtain a more precise definition to cumulative oxidants concentration in processed water, required for water disinfection, the definition to be directed towards its reduction, in comparison with exiting standards.

The cumulative oxidants concentration in solution produced by AQUACHLOR devices shall be determined with the help of any of the following methods:

• titrimetric method of cumulative concentration determination for strong oxidizing agents, expressed as equivalent of “active chlorine” concentration;
  
• photometric express method of cumulative concentration determination for strong oxidizing agents, expressed as equivalent of “active chlorine” concentration”.
