Anode (+) oxidering (pH 2-5):
The natural chloride already dissolved in the water is oxidised at the BacTerminator's anodes to: H2O –> ½O2 + 2H+ + 2e- 2Cl- –> Cl2 + 2e- In water, chlorine gas will further react to give hypochlorous acid: |
Hypochlorous acid is in equilibrium with hypochlorite (ions), depending on pH: Ozone is formed from oxygen: Hydrogen peroxide is in equilibrium as follows: |
Cathode (-) reduction (pH 9-12):
2H2O + 2e- –> H2 + 2OH-
After the electrochemical process, active hypochlorous acid is present in the water for residual disinfection, depending on dimensioning of the system.
