DEVICE AND METHOD FOR DISINFECTION AND/OR PURIFICATION OF A FLUID

摘要

The present invention relates to a device and a method for disinfection and purification of a fluid, like drinking water. The device comprises: - a fluidized bed reactor provided with a suspension of conductive particles that are capable of adsorbing contaminating elements like organisms, organic compounds and/or ions; - an anode and a cathode for providing a substantial number of particles with a charge; - means for generating an electrical and/or electromagnetic field by providing a potential difference between the anode and the cathode; and - an inlet for a fluid, possibly comprising contaminating elements, wherein the fluid is exposed in the device to the electrical and/or electromagnetic field thereby disinfecting and/or purifying the fluid.
