Electrolyzed water producing method and apparatus are provided which are capable of producing electrolyzed water having a desired property irrespective of the quality of raw water supplied and the like while allowing the size and weight of the apparatus and the cost to be reduced by limiting the capacity of an electrolysis power source. The electrolyzed water producing method includes: circulating an aqueous electrolyte solution to a first electrolytic chamber of a pair of electrolytic chambers opposed to each other across an intervening ion permeable diaphragm while supplying raw water to the second electrolytic chamber; and applying a predetermined voltage to a pair of electrodes disposed in the respective electrolytic chambers with the diaphragm intervening there between, to electrolyze the raw water and the aqueous electrolyte solution, thereby producing electrolyzed water in the second electrolytic chamber.

Electrolyzed water producing method and apparatus

A method for producing carbon using less thermal energy is disclosed. Crystalline cellulose and acidic electrolyzed water are introduced into a reaction vessel. The mixture is heated until it reaches a predetermined temperature (230&#xb0; C. to 250&#xb0; C.) while being stirred. When the mixture reached the predetermined temperature, this temperature is maintained, and the mixture is kept heated while being stirred for a predetermined period of time (30 minutes). Thereby, carbon is produced in the reaction vessel.

Electrolytic cell for electrolyzed water generator

A first electrolytic chamber which houses an anode plate and a cathode plate with an ion-permeable membrane interposed therebetween is supplied with raw water containing an electrolyte as chloride ions. The raw water is electrolyzed to obtain electrolyzed water at a cathode side in the first electrolytic chamber. The electrolyzed water is then electrolyzed at an anode side in a second electrolytic chamber which houses an anode plate and a cathode plate with an ion-permeable membrane interposed therebetween, for thereby generating hydroxyl radicals in the electrolyzed water. The electrolyzed water containing the hydroxyl radicals is added to water containing an organic substance to cause the hydroxyl radicals to attack to the organic substance for thereby decomposing the organic substance.

Method of decomposing organic compounds

For minimizing declination of the operational efficiency, hydrogen gas generated in an absorption type refrigerator is eliminated by reduction without exhausting to the outside. The hydrogen gas H,remains close to the level surface,of a refrigerant in a condenser,is transferred together with a refrigerant vapor via an extraction pipe,to a condenser tank,. The condenser tank,is equipped with a heated metal oxide which is allowed to come into direct contact with the hydrogen gas for carrying out its reduction. Accordingly, the hydrogen gas is eliminated and a trace of water is generated. The water is then returned back via the extraction pipe,to the condenser,. As a result, the elimination of the hydrogen gas is successfully carried out while the water generated stays in the system, whereby the content of water in the refrigerant can be maintained to a desired level.

Absorption type refrigerator

Disclosed herein is electrolyzed functional water produced by the process comprising a step of feeding water containing electrolytes to a first electrolytic cell equipped with an anode, a cathode and an ion-permeable membrane between them to electrolyze it, and a step of electrolyzing the electrolyzed water obtained from the cathodic side of the first electrolytic cell on the anodic side of a second electrolytic cell equipped with an anode, a cathode and an ion-permeable membrane between them. Production processes and production apparatus of the electrolyzed functional water are also disclosed.

Electrolyzed functional water, and production process and production

An organic polymer compound such as poly(p-phenylene) is heat treated under an atmosphere of an inert gas such as argon at 500.degree. to 1,500.degree. C., preferably in the vicinity of a carbonization temperature (the range from the carbonization temperature to the carbonization temperature+300.degree. C.) to obtain a carbon material having properties of both a carbon substance and an organic substance.
