Main stages of water treatment in EMERALD device.
Fig. 1 Anode chamber of
module
Stage 1. Anode chamber of the electrochemical module
u
The microorganisms, microbial toxins and biofilms are
destroyed in the water flowing through the anode chamber of the
electrochemical module;
u
Oxidative destruction of the organic compounds such as
herbicides, pesticides, surfactants, phenols, petroleum products
and etc.;
u
Deferrization of water is carried out with the transformation of
iron ions into a 3-valent form that is easy for mechanical
purification;
u
Water obtains the properties of the active oxygen carrier.

Stage 2. Catalytic filter
u
At this stage the water is purified from a wide range of organic
and inorganic dissolved impurities that have undergone the oxidative
destruction in the anode chamber of the module;
u
Water is being purified from free chlorine and chlororganic
compounds ;
u
Improves the taste of water and eliminates the unpleasant
odors, due to the anodic removal of phenols and hydrogen
sulfide.

module
Stage 3. The cathode chamber of the electrochemical module
u
Water treatment in the cathode chamber of the electrochemical
module imparts the antioxidant properties to the water reducing
the oxidation-reduction potential of water;
u
Ions of heavy metal are converted to the insoluble hydroxides
and subsequently they are removed on the electrokinetic filter;
u
At the same time all trace elements are preserved in water:
calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium, lithium, fluorine,
iodine that are useful and necessary for a man;
u
The properties is given to water as the active carrier of hydrogen;

Electrokinetic filter .
Stage 4. Electrokinetic filter
u
Water undergoes final cleaning from mechanical impurities,
hydroxides of heavy metals, iron, manganese, hydrogen sulfide;
u
Provides guaranteed transparency of water, removal of turbidity
and impurities.
