Abstract
Anodic disinfection of drinking water by electric current is enhanced when the electrolytic cell is divided into anode and cathode compartments by a membrane permeable to anions, the water to be disinfected is pumped through the anode compartment, and the electrolyte in the cathode compartment is enriched with chlorides, hydroxides, carbonates, or peroxides of the alkali metals, with hydrogen chloride, or with hydrogen peroxide.
