| Abstract |
In this paper, after the third electrode type oxidant generator which could format non-uniform electric field in water had been manufactured and installed, by direct electrolysis, the effects of the hydrogen potential and oxidation reduction potential characteristics attendant upon electric field change on a higher concentration oxidant generation characteristics were investigated. Consequently, as the third electrode was installed in the middle of two slit electrodes and the polarity of applied power was changed, it was observed that the third electrode system with the positive electrode can generate a higher concentration oxidant, hydrogen potential and oxidation reduction potential as compared with that of the negative electrode. It is because the positive electrode was bombarded mostly energetic electrons and the negative electrode was bombarded mainly by less energetic positive ions. |
