Abstract

A method and technical execution, for the chemical and residue-free cleaning, hygienization, disinfection and odor neutralization of surfaces, materials, and objects by means of a high-pressure cleaning device and an electrolysis generators using electrolyzed cold or warm water, with the aid of oxidative groups, characterized in that the method, in combination with high pressure and oxidative radicals produced by electrolysis from salt ion-containing water, in total group concentrations of at least 35 ppm and higher, is able to not only clean surfaces, materials, and objects, but also to disinfect them, and is able to, by means of cold oxidation, in the form of ultrafast superoxidation, to eliminate 99.9% of microorganisms such as viruses, gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, yeasts, fungi, algae and protozoa organisms and the like, without forming resistances in the microorganisms or pathogens.

Claims

1. A device for the chemical- and residue-free cleaning, sanitation, disinfection and odor neutralization of surfaces, materials and objects, which device comprises:

a) an electrolysis generator having an electrical control unit and electrodes for generating electrolyzed water, characterized in that

b) the electrodes of the electrolysis generator comprise at least one diamond electrode, and

c) in that a high-pressure cleaning appliance is arranged to which the electrolyzed water can be fed.

2. The device as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that a diamond-coated electrode is present for generating oxidative free radicals having a pH of 6.4-6.8, in particular for the formation at the anode of, in addition to OH—

hydroxyl groups and O₃, of especially free chlorine, which together with the hydroxyl groups lead to the formation of hypochloride and hypochloride acid which are organically broken down very rapidly, wherein, NaCl is added to the water for favorable influence of the current consumption and, in the electrolysis of these salt compounds, in addition oxidizing molecules such as reducing peroxodisulphate, peroxodiphosphate and percarbonate are formed.

3. The device as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the diamond electrode is a boron-doped diamond electrode.

4. The device as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the high-pressure cleaning appliance comprises a pressure-generation pump for a pressure of 5-20 bar and more.

5. The device as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the electrolysis generator is constructed as a single chamber type.

6. The device as claimed in claim 1, characterized in that the electric control unit of the electrolysis generator has a time-controlled automatic electrode polarity reversal.

7. A method for the chemical- and residue-free cleaning, sanitation, disinfection and odor neutralization of surfaces, materials and objects by means of a device as claimed in claim 1, which method comprises:

a) generating electrolyzed water by means of an electrolysis generator, characterized in that

b) the electrolyzed water is fed to a high-pressure cleaning appliance.

8. The device as claimed in claim 2, characterized in that the diamond electrode is a boron-doped diamond electrode.

9. The device as claimed in claim 2, characterized in that the high-pressure cleaning appliance comprises a pressure-generation pump for a pressure of 5-20 bar and more.

10. The device as claimed in claim 3, characterized in that the high-pressure cleaning appliance comprises a pressure-generation pump for a pressure of 5-20 bar and more.

11. The device as claimed in claim 2, characterized in that the electrolysis generator is constructed as a single chamber type.

12. The device as claimed in claim 3, characterized in that the electrolysis generator is constructed as a single chamber type.

13. The device as claimed in claim 4, characterized in that the electrolysis generator is constructed as a single chamber type.

14. The device as claimed in claim 2, characterized in that the electric control unit of the electrolysis generator has a time-controlled automatic electrode polarity reversal.

15. The device as claimed in claim 3, characterized in that the electric control unit of the electrolysis generator has a time-controlled automatic electrode polarity reversal.
