USE OF AN ANODE FOR ELIMINATION OR REDUCTION OF MICROBIAL IMPURITIES IN LIQUIDS

摘要

The present invention relates to the use of an anode suitable for use in inter alia a reactor for elimination or reduction of microbial impurities from liquids, such as inter alia waste water and water intended for human or animal consumption. The anode comprises an expanded metal plate, preferably titanium, covered with a non-corrosive metal layer, preferably a platinum layer. The surface of the anode is endowed with dents, which enhances the electrochemical effect between the anode and the corresponding cathode and thereby enhances the microbial effect and at the same time reduces the energy required to obtain an efficient kill of the microorganisms,
