Electrolysis apparatus capable of producing disinfectant or cleaning agent, and electrolysis method therefor

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an apparatus and a method for preparing a disinfectant or a cleaning agent according to an additive. Specifically, the present disclosure relates to an electrolysis apparatus comprising: an additive container to which an additive to be used for electrolysis is added; and a diaphragm-free electrolysis cell in which the electrolysis occurs, wherein, with respect to the electrolysis, water containing chloride ions (Cl−), sodium chloride (NaCl) and a hydrochloric acid (HCl) aqueous solution are electrolyzed in the diaphragm-free electrolysis cell.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An electrolysis apparatus comprising:
 a container to receive at least one additive to be used to perform electrolysis; and   a non-diaphragm electrolytic cell in which the electrolysis is performed,   wherein the electrolysis is performed by electrolyzing water containing chloride ions (Cl − ) and the additive in the non-diaphragm electrolytic cell.   
     
     
         2 . The electrolysis apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein a pH value of a product obtained by the performing of the electrolysis varies according to the at least one additive. 
     
     
         3 . The electrolysis apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the performing of electrolysis produces hypochlorous acid (HOCl) or potassium hydroxide (KOH) according to the at least one additive. 
     
     
         4 . An method for selectively producing a disinfectant or a cleaning agent by performing electrolysis, the method comprising:
 putting water containing chloride ions (Cl − ) into a non-diaphragm electrolytic cell;   adding at least one additive; and   supplying power to an electrode provided in the non-diaphragm electrolytic cell.   
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the electrolysis produces hypochlorous acid (HOCl) or potassium hydroxide (KOH) according to the at least one additive. 
     
     
         6 . The electrolysis apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one additive includes sodium chloride (NaCl), and a hydrochloric acid aqueous solution (HCl). 
     
     
         7 . The electrolysis apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the container includes a plurality of storage parts where the at least one additive is selectively received. 
     
     
         8 . The electrolysis apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein the container includes a plurality of storage parts where the at least one additive is selectively received. 
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein the additive includes sodium chloride (NaCl), and a hydrochloric acid aqueous solution (HCl). 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 4 , wherein a pH value of a product obtained by the performing of the electrolysis varies according to the at least one additive.
