Electrolyzed water

Electrolyzed water, also referred to as Electrolyzed Oxidizing (EO) water, is formed by adding a very small amount of NaCl (normally around 0.1%) to pure water, and conducting a current across an anode and cathode. The cathode area produces alkaline (high pH), reducing water. The anode area produces acidic (low pH), oxidizing water. The electrolysis unit normally operates at low voltage around 10-20 V of DC. The device can have either a single cell chamber or a two-cell chamber, which would be separated by a diaphragm.

Uses

• controlling pathogenic microorganisms on fresh produce.
• household detergent and sanitizer (e.g. for beer making)
• For biofuel production (disinfection, feedstock preparation)
• health applications
