Electrochemistry and Electrotechnologies

Brief Description

The platform uses electrochemical methods to obtain essential reagents (chlorine, alkali, hypochlorite, hydrogen, oxygen), galvanics and electrodeposition for component repair and water purification.

Main Directions

• Seawater electrolysis: production of chlorine, hypochlorite, alkali (en-NaOH), hydrogen and oxygen
• Galvanics, electrodeposition: restoration and repair of metal contacts, corrosion protection, component coating, growing metal structures
• Electroorganic synthesis: production of hydrogen peroxide, bleach, biocides
• EDM (electrical discharge machining): drilling, burning through hard materials, for tool repair

Equipment

• Electrodes: graphite (batteries, rods), iron, copper
• Reactors and tanks — plastic/PVC
• Power supply — solar inverter, batteries, rheostat

Final Conclusions

• Electrochemistry is critically important for autonomy, sanitation, repair, fuel production, disinfection
• All equipment can be assembled and serviced on site, except graphite electrodes — reserve stock recommended

Risks and Recommendations

• Store reserve of electrodes, membranes, reagents
• Observe safety procedures when working with chlorine, alkali and hydrogen
