ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is related to a device for producing ion water by electrolysis which generates alkaline functional water (alkaline ion water) for the promotion of health and water (acid ion water) for use in medical applications, e.g. sterilization or the like.
A conventional device for the electrolysis of water has been composed of an electrolytic cell in which is disposed an ion exchange membrane at the central portion thereof; an anode disposed in one of electrolytic chambers of the electrolytic cell; and a cathode disposed in another electrolytic chamber in the electrolytic cell, and the electrolysis of water is accomplised by the above-mentioned device.
By conventional electrolysis using an ion exchange membrane, most electric charge movements are effected by movement of cations from the anode to the cathode. Further, in order to prevent contrary movement of hydroxide ions, a fall of pH of the acid ion water which has formed in the anode chamber is effected.
Additionally, when it is formed by the electrolysis of an equivalent quantity of water, the reaction in the cathode chamber includes an undesirable rise in the pH of the alkaline ion water, and a pleasant odor of the alkaline ion water or acid ion water cannot be achieved.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In view of the foregoing, it is an object of the present invention to provide a device for producing ion water by means of which a desired pH of ion water can be achieved by controlling the quantity of hydrogen ions generated as determined by the amount of electricity delivered which can be reduced by half. It is another object of the present invention to provide a device which can produce alkaline ion water and acid ion water that have a pleasant odor.
It is more specific object of the present invention to provide a device for producing ion water by means of which water introduced into the electrolytic cell is electrolyzed into pure ion water. Furthermore, it is still another object of the present invention to provide a device for producing ion water having a high ion density.
The novel features which are believed to be characteristic of the invention, both as to its organization and method of operation, together with further objects and advantages thereof, will be better understood from the following description considered in connection with accompanying drawings in which a presently preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated by way of example. It is to be expressly understood, however, that the drawings are for. the purpose of illustration and description only, and are not intended as a definition of the limits of the invention.
