Solutions: Anolyte and Catholyte

Electrochemically activated solutions – that is, anolyte and catholyte – are metastable solutions manufactured using electrochemical processing of parent solution in diaphragm electrochemical reactor; the physical-and-chemical parameters values and catalytic power which are manifested by these solutions in oxidation-reduction reactions change in time (relax).

Electrochemically activated solutions are subdivided into two main types: anolyte and catholyte.

I. Electrochemically activated anolyte is characterized by oxidative activity which is manifested in physical-and-chemical interactions and spontaneously decreases with the course of time. Depending on the pH-factor value and catalytic activity determined by the technology used for its manufacturing, electrochemically activated anolyte is subdivided into:

  • “Anolyte A ”, its ðÍ-factor value being lower than 5 (acid anolyte),
  • “Anolyte AN neutral”, with ðÍ-factor value making 5,5 to 6,5,
  • “Anolyte ANK neutral”, with ðÍ-factor value making 6,5 to 7,5.

II. Electrochemically activated catholyte is characterized by reductive activity which is manifested in physical-and-chemical interactions and spontaneously decreases with the course of time.

Depending on the pH-factor value and catalytic activity determined by the technology of its manufacturing, electrochemically activated catholyte is subdivided into:

  • “Catholyte K ”, with its ðÍ-factor value being higher than 9,0 (alkaline catholyte),
  • “Catholyte KN neutral ”, with its ðÍ-factor value making 5,5 to 9,0.

Oxidants concentration by active chlorine achieved for anolyte manufactured in STEL 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;
  • express method of “active chlorine” detection in anolyte with the help of DEZIKONT-strips.
