Portable and transportable water purification unit PWP amp; TWP

摘要

A method for treating and purifying contaminated water utilises a portable and transportable vessel powered by a rechargeable battery that can be recharged using solar power. The method comprises the use of a free radical generating electrolytic cell to generate drinkable water. The free radicals, which are generated, may be free oxygen, hydroxyl, perhydroxyl and chlorine radicals. The electrolytic cell may possess electrodes composed of a core of electrically conductive material coated with a composition of precious metal mixed oxides. Preferably, the core comprises titanium. Typically, a flexible solar panel is used. The contaminated water may contain both chemical and biological contaminants. The contaminated water can be seawater or brackish water.
