Because In the field of industrial manufacturing, cleaning is a crucial and indispensable link. Due to Traditional industrial cleaning often relies on organic solvents, strong acids, strong bases and other chemical reagents. Although these methods are effective, they inevitably bring environmental pollution, occupational health hazards and subsequent wastewater treatment problems. At the same time With the increasingly strict environmental laws and regulations and the pursuit of “green production” in the manufacturing industry. Strong alkaline ionic water cleaning, an efficient. Environmentally friendly and economical cleaning technology, is increasingly being widely concerned and applied.
1，What is strongly alkaline ionized water?
Strong alkaline ionic water, also known as electrolytic reduction water. Is a special functional water prepared by ionic water equipment (electrolytic water generator).
Preparation principle: The equipment adds a small amount of electrolyte (such as potassium chloride) to tap water. Through a special electrolyzer and ion exchange membrane. Under the action of direct current. The water is separated into two different properties of water:
Anode side: strong acidic ionized water (pH 2.5-3.5) rich in hydrogen ions (H⁺) is produce. Which has strong oxidation and is often used for sterilization.
Cathode-side: Strongly alkaline water (pH 11-13) rich in OH (OH⁻) ions is produce, which is the workhouse of industrial cleaning.
Key features:
High pH value: Usually the pH value is above 11.5, with strong saponification and emulsification ability.
High reduction potential: can effectively decompose the material.
Rich in reactive hydrogen: strong permeability and stripping ability.
Pure composition: its main active ingredient is sodium hydroxide (NaOH), but different from the direct addition of concentrated lye, it is generated “in situ” during the electrolysis process, the composition is more pure and the reaction is milder.
2，Strong alkaline ionic water has unique advantages in industrial cleaning
Compared with traditional chemical cleaning, strong alkaline ionic water cleaning shows overwhelming advantages in many aspects:
1，Excellent environmental protection
Non-toxic and harmless: Due to the wastewater discharge after cleaning can be naturally neutralize into ordinary water, without toxic and harmful chemical residues, So which greatly reduces the pressure of sewage treatment.
Environmentally friendly: the whole life cycle does not introduce new chemical pollutants to the environment, in line with the requirements of sustainable development.
2，Excellent cleaning effect
Powerful oil removal ability: its high alkalinity can quickly saponify animal AND plant oil, and emulsify and decompose mineral oil, and has excellent cleaning effect on all kinds of cutting oil, rust oil and stamping oil.
Strong permeability: the characteristics of small molecular mass water enable it to quickly penetrate into the gap between dirt and workpiece to achieve deep cleaning.
No residue: no need to use a lot of water for rinsing after cleaning, avoiding the influence of chemical cleaning agent residue on subsequent processes (such as electroplating, spraying).,
3，Significant economic benefits
Low operating cost: Because the main raw materials are water and electricity, and the cost of consumables is extremely low. So There is no need to purchase, store and transport expensive chemical cleaning agents.
Simplify the process: reduce the number of rinses and wastewater treatment links, saving manpower and time costs.
Prolong the life of the equipment: the corrosion of the cleaning equipment is far lower than the traditional strong alkali, which can effectively extend the service life of the equipment.
4，Extremely high security
Ensure the health of operators: avoid direct contact and inhalation of volatile and toxic chemical solvents, improve the working environment.
Production safety: No need to store and manage hazardous chemicals, reducing safety risks such as fire and leakage.
Good workpiece compatibility: mild to most metals (such as steel, copper) and non-metallic materials, corrosion control, not easy to damage precision workpieces.
