SYSTEM FOR REMOVAL OF SUSPENDED SOLIDS AND DISINFECTION OF WATER

摘要

A system for removal of suspended solids and disinfection of an aqueous medium by electrolysis is disclosed. The system comprises a plurality of electrode assemblies configured to generate hydrogen gas and halides. Each electrode assembly comprises an inner electrode made of a non-donating conductive material and an outer electrode configured to sheath the inner anode. The outer electrode comprises a conductive material and a plurality of apertures. Power is supplied to the electrode assemblies and electrolysis occurs to generate hydrogen gas and halides. The halides disinfect the aqueous medium and the hydrogen gas entrains suspended solids to the surface of the aqueous medium. The suspended solids are removed from the surface of the aqueous medium.
