Formation of Anolyte and Catholyte Types of Water during electrolysis and their Effect on Living Organisms

Michael Shoikhedbrod

Abstract


During electrolysis, an anolyte (dead water) and catholyte (living water) solutions are formed. Anolyte promotes metabolic processes, and is also mild antiseptic. The disinfecting effect of the anolyte is equivalent to treatment with iodine, brilliant green, hydrogen peroxide, without causing chemical burns of living tissues and not staining them. The living water, being a catholyte, has enhanced bio stimulating properties. It has a beneficial effect on the human organism, enhancing metabolic processes, increasing the defenses of organism, thereby strengthening human health. The particular interest presents the production of a concentrate of living high-calorie microalgae, especially Chlorella cells, from their nutrient medium for its successful commercial use. The developed method of concentration using catholyte and electrolysis microdispersed bubbles of hydrogen, formed during electrolysis and the process of electrolysis of the nutrient medium itself, permits to obtain a living high-quality Chlorella cells concentrate from nutrient medium. The article presents a study of the formation of anolyte and catholyte solutions in the developed method for concentration of Chlorella cells from their natural environment using electrolysis microdispersed hydrogen bubbles and a catholyte solution, formed during the electrolysis of Chlorella cells and a nutrient medium for flotation of the resulting complexes of Chlorella cells + microdispersed hydrogen bubbles and obtaining high quality concentrate of rapidly multiplying chlorella cells. The solution of catholyte, formed during the electrolysis of Chlorella cells and the nutrient medium, has a strong effect on the vital activity of concentrated chlorella cells during electroflotation.
