  • Electrodes are disclosed with reference to Figs. 5-8. It should be appreciated that these electrode arrangements may be used in conjunction with a wide variety of tanks and methods including those previously disclosed or suggested herein.
  • the following electrodes offer some or all of the following advantages over electrodes known in the prior art, while offering at the same time low cost and simplicity:
  • a versatile electrode arrangement 100 as shown in Figs. 5-8.
  • the electrode arrangement depicted in Figs. 5a-5h is characterized by a first bank of 5 lower electrodes 101, a second bank of 5 lower electrodes 102 (alternating with the first lower electrodes 101), a bank of 10 upper electrodes 103, and a bank of 11 full length electrodes 104.
  • the upper and lower electrodes are about half as long as the full length electrodes.
  • the upper electrodes are each associated with a vertically adjacent lower electrode.
  • the full length electrodes alternate with the other electrodes.
  • there are four terminals a, b, c and d to the electrodes which are preferrably located on the exterior of the purifying tank.
  • Terminal a is connected to the full length electrodes which are connected to one another.
  • Terminal b is connected to the first lower bank 101.
  • Terminal c is connected to the second lower bank 102.
  • Terminal d is connected to the upper bank 103. If positive voltage is applied to terminal a and negative voltage is applied to terminals b, c and d (as shown in Fig. 5a) then the current at a given voltage for the arrangement of Fig. 5a is designated 24x. It follows that the current of the terminal arrangement of Fig. 5b would be 18x.
  • the arrangements suggested in Figs. 5c and 5d yield a current of 12x, the 5c arrangement wearing out the lower electrodes only, and the 5d arrangement wearing only the upper electrodes.
  • Electrode element modules provide a greater area coverage of the bottom of the tank for a given total plate surface area and may be located approximately 70 to 80 mm above the tank bottom in a position which causes a symmetrical circular water motion, like a "figure 8" on its side, when viewed end on to the element module.
  • Gas is produced from every square centimeter of active plate surface and all gas originates in approximately the lower 30 of water, with 70% of the water being above the top of the plates. This provides a gentle but thorough circulation of water within the tank every few minutes, without any mechanical aid or moving parts.
  • Horizontal spacing between element electrode plates is around 23 mm which is not critical, but this spacing does provide easy circulation of water through the element.
  • the lower half of the full sized plates u, s and q will generate hydrogen microbubbles, whereas the top halves z, x and v will generate oxygen microbubbles.
  • the top halves will act precisely like positive plates and the bottom halves will act precisely like negative plates. Therefore these gases will rise in the same plane and intermingle, which has the effect of reducing the tendency of many small hydrogen bubbles from joining together and forming a larger hydrogen bubble.
  • the half plates are at opposite polarities, in this case the top ones being negative and the lower ones being positive, the same thing applies.
  • FIG. 7a-7h A further development is an element module as shown in Figs. 7a-7h with preferably 21 or more plates based on the principles and terminal connection arrangements of the last mentioned type, but being designed for higher conductivity water of above 900 uS/cm. With 21 plates the current range is from 6x to 0.75x or a ratio of 8:1. However for a direct comparison with the last 21 plate element of Figs 5a through 5h, this element will draw only a quarter the current for a given connection, voltage and water. This means that for high conductivity water of more than 900 uS/cm, this new element has the advantage of being capable of using a higher voltage when all the plate surfaces are energised.
  • Fig. 8 represents a section of the larger module depicted in Figs. 7a-7h and is for clarity of description.
  • This design of electrode element is particularly applicable to module elements of 21, 25, 29 and more plates.
  • negative 12 volts is applied to the top activated half plates x and t with zero positive potential on bottom half plates o and k. This will produce by voltage dividing action a potential difference of 3 between any two adjacent plate surfaces.
  • Plate gauge is preferred at about 2 mm or more. By providing more working surface area and heavier gauge element plate material, together with designs which preferably use all the surface areas of the elements, a greater life expectancy of the wearing materials is achieved. The provision of polarity reversal enhances this feature. Further it was discovered that the element plates 113 wear out first where they are in contact with the cylindrical interspacing insulator 112. To increase the life of plates, 1.6 mm gauge aluminium washers 114 (or similar washers) as shown in Fig. 10 are provided next to each side of the plates. The washers add extra material next to the insulating spacers. Both the insulating spacers 112 and washers 114 are shown as surrounding a connecting rod 115 which passes through openings in the electrode plates 113. This feature provides a further means of getting extended life from aluminium plates. Normally aluminium washers will be used with aluminium plates, the washer should be the same material as the plate where other plate materials are used.
  • SUBSTITUTESHEET water circulating effect of the rising gases will be largely lost, an additional means of circulating the water in the tank will be required.
  • a pump, circulator or agitator can be used for this purpose.

Abstract

On décrit un appareil d'épuration d'eau comprenant un réservoir équipé d'un réseau d'électrodes verticales en aluminium. Lorsqu'on fait passer un courant dans les électrodes, des bulles de gaz très fines sont générées et attirent les polluants pour en former un floc, qui remonte à la surface de l'eau et peut être éliminé par la suite. Un agencement d'électrodes préféré comprend une rampe d'électrodes supérieure (103) reliée à une première borne, une première rampe d'électrodes inférieure (101) reliée à une deuxième borne, une deuxième rampe d'électrodes inférieure (102) reliée à une troisième borne. Chacune des plaques d'électrode inférieures est disposée verticalement à une certaine distance d'une plaque d'électrode supérieure et est adjacente à celle-ci, dans une position bord-à-bord, chaque ensemble de plaque inférieure et supérieure formant une paire d'électrodes. Des électrodes pleine-longueur sont prévues entre chaque paire et sont reliées à une quatrième borne. L'appareil convient particulièrement à une utilisation en courant continu à basse tension. On peut, par exemple, prévoir une alimentation par capteurs solaires.
