Ruthenium iridium titanium electrode cooling circulating water descaling and sterilization

The main principle of electrochemical water treatment technology is to use the electrochemical redox reaction of ruthenium, iridium and titanium electrodes to remove Ca2 and Mg2 in solid form after being adsorbed to the cathode, reduce the hardness of water body, and produce some strong oxidants at the same time, which inhibit the cooling water circulation system. The growth of fungi and algae can achieve the functions of sterilization and algae removal.

Electrochemical descaling principle of ruthenium iridium titanium electrode

Under the action of electric current, water undergoes an electrolysis reaction at the cathode to produce hydroxide ions. Hydroxide ions produced by the cathodic reaction disrupt the balance of alkalinity and hardness in the solution near the cathode. At the same time, calcium ions and magnesium ions in the water migrate to the cathode area under the action of the electric field to form calcium carbonate and magnesium hydroxide, respectively. At the same time, calcium carbonate crystallizes on the surface of the cathode plate under the action of the electric field, which is easy to peel off and remove.

Electrochemical sterilization principle of ruthenium iridium titanium electrode

Electrochemistry is not a simple process, it includes multiple action mechanisms and reaction processes, such as physics, chemistry and biology. A combination of factors can be considered. Under the action of the electric field, the chlorine ions in the water will be oxidized into chlorine, hypochlorous acid, hypochlorite and other free chlorine components. Electrolytic chlorination, mainly by hypochlorous acid. Hypochlorous acid is a very small neutral molecule that oxidizes and destroys bacteria and kills them. In electrocatalytic reactions, electrolysis of water and dissolved oxygen in water can generate short-lived intermediate products on the electrode surface. These strong oxidizing substances can oxidize various components in microbial cells, resulting in irreversible changes in microorganisms.
