Electrochemical activation (ECA) has been developed as a quick and efficient method of hypochlorite production, and many claim increased efficacy when compared to conventional disinfectant solutions. Numerous potential applications, including hospital disinfection, waste-water treatment, routine drinking water disinfection and biological decontamination have been suggested. In this study, three solutions were produced by electrochemical activation of 0.5% NaCl and compared to commercially available NaOCl. The NaOCl concentration and pH of each solution was measured, and the minimum bactericidal concentration of each was determined using seven common microbial pathogens. All solutions were effective, the most significant of which was the ECA anolyte solution. This is notable due to its neutral pH and antimicrobial efficacy that is four times that of commercially available NaOCl. This process may lead to production of a highly effective yet non-caustic disinfectant that would have countless scientific, medical, military and public health applications.
电化学活化（ECA）已发展成为一种快速高效的次氯酸盐生产方法，许多人声称与传统消毒溶液相比，其功效有所提高。人们提出了许多潜在应用，包括医院消毒、废水处理、日常饮用水消毒和生物去污。在本研究中，通过对0.5%氯化钠进行电化学活化制备了三种溶液，并与市售次氯酸钠进行比较测定了每种溶液的次氯酸钠浓度和pH值，并使用七种常见微生物病原体确定了每种溶液的最低杀菌浓度。所有溶液均有效，其中最显著的是ECA阳极电解液溶液因其pH值呈中性且抗菌功效是市售次氯酸钠的四倍而值得注意。这一过程可能会生产出一种高效但无腐蚀性的消毒剂，在科学、医学、军事和公共卫生领域有着无数的应用。
