Poor - quality membrane - electrode technology may bring the following potential risks. During long - term electrolysis,
the platinum - catalyst coating of the membrane - electrode may peel off. Once this happens, the voltage will increase,
and almost all the by - products will enter the water, such as ozone, residual chlorine, and heavy metals.
How todistinguish this situation?
You can use a TDS meter to test whether the TDS value increases, or even increases
significantly, before and after electrolysis. If there is a significant increase, the water electrolyzed by this cup is
basically not pure hydrogen molecules, and a large number of harmful molecules are predicted to enter the water.
You may wonder how there can be substances other than hydrogen in the water since it is hydrogen - oxygen
separated. When the platinum - catalyst coating on the membrane - electrode surface peels off, the
membrane - electrode can no longer achieve efficient hydrogen - oxygen separation. Therefore, some
unwanted by - products of electrolysis will surely enter the water.
Moreover, going back to the previous topic, membrane - electrode means hydrogen - oxygen separation,
but hydrogen - oxygen separation doesn't equal a good hydrogen - rich cup. Whether a hydrogen - rich cup
is good mainly depends on whether the membrane - electrode technology is qualified. Whether the
membrane - electrode technology is qualified mainly depends on the following aspects:
1. Duringlong - term electrolysis (for 1 - 2 years), there is no significant decrease in hydrogen concentration.
2. During long - term electrolysis (for 1 - 2 years), the voltage still doesn't increase, and the TDS doesn't increase
before and after electrolysis.
Main Technologies Advantages
Always keep in mind that only with good membrane - electrode technology can a hydrogen - rich water cup achieve
hydrogen production at a low voltage. Voltage is a key factor related to the water quality safety after electrolysis.
Once the voltage is high, even with hydrogen - oxygen separation, the risks of ozone, residual chlorine, and heavy
metals entering the water will increase.
Another point is that for some cups, the voltage is initially below the safe voltage of 2.5V. However, with the increase
in the number of hydrogen - generating times, reasons such as the peeling off of the catalytic coating of the membrane - electrode will cause the voltage to gradually rise. Then, some by - products of electrolyzed water will be generated,
such as ozone, residual chlorine, and heavy metals.
Suppose you use the cup 6 - 10 times a day on average. After one year of use, if you conduct various tests, you will
find that the TDS increases significantly, the hydrogen - generating concentration decreases significantly, and the
residual chlorine test fails.
Another point is that for some cups, the initial voltage is below the safe voltage of 2.5V. As the number of hydrogen - generating times increases, reasons such as the shedding of the catalytic coating of the membrane - electrode will cause the
voltage to rise gradually. Subsequently, by - products of electrolyzed water will be generated. But how can
we specifically distinguish this?
-
TDS test pen: You can try to use a TDS test pen to test the water cup after one year of use. If the TDS value increases significantly before and after electrolysis, it is obvious that this water cup is not good. It is highly likely that the catalyst of the membrane - electrode has fallen off, resulting in a significant increase in TDS.
-
Residual chlorine test paper: Observe the color change of the test paper to determine whether there is residual chlorine.
-
Hydrogen concentration: The hydrogen concentration will decrease significantly. You can use the same titration solution for comparative tests to observe the change in hydrogen concentration between the initial use and after 1 - 2 years of use.
For water cups with unqualified test results in various indicators caused by the continuous accumulation of hydrogen - generating times over time, we do not recommend their continued use. After all, drinking this water is for improving health. If you drink water containing ozone and residual chlorine, it will harm your health instead.
However, the water cups of CAHMTF use membrane - electrodes independently developed and produced by our own company. They have been applied in a 1 - kilowatt electric thruster. They have good long - term stability.
Based on strictly using pure water for hydrogen production, with 10 hydrogen - generating times per day and
each time lasting 5 minutes, there is no increase in TDS after 3 years of continuous use.
