Electrochemically Activited Water: Biophysical and Biological Effects of Anolyte and Catholyte Types of Water
Abstract
This paper deals with the evaluation of the basis of the mathematical model of interaction of
electrochemically activated water solutions (catholyte/anolyte), obtained in the diaphragm
electrolysis cell, with water and sodium chloride and the basic physical-chemical processes
underlying the electrolysis of water as well. In order to provide additional data about the
distribution of H2O molecules according to the energies of hydrogen bonds in the electrochemically
activated water solutions of the catholyte and the anolyte, the non-equilibrium energy spectrum

(NES) and differential non-equilibrium energy spectrum (DNES) of the anolyte and the catholyte
were measured as a result of which were established the basis for evaluation of the mathematical
model explaining the behavior of the anolyte and the catholyte regarding the distribution of H2O
molecules to the energies of hydrogen bonds. The local maximum for catholyte in the NESspectrum
was at -0,1285 eV, for anolyte – at -0,1227 eV and for the control sample of deionized
water – at -0,1245 eV. The calculations of ∆EH...O for catholyte with using the DNES method
compiles (-0,004±0,0011 eV) and for anolyte (+1,8±0,0011 eV). The average energy of hydrogen
bonds between Н2О molecules was measured by the DNES method to be compiled at -
0,1067±0,0011 eV.
