The present invention relates to systems and methods for cleaning materials, such as flooring and upholstery. In some cases, the systems and methods use an electrolytic cell to electrolyze a solution comprising sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, sodium acetate, sodium percarbonate, potassium carbonate, potassium bicarbonate, and/or any other suitable chemical to generate electrolyzed alkaline water and/or electrolyzed oxidizing water. In some cases, the cell comprises a recirculation loop that recirculates anolyte through an anode compartment of the cell. In some cases, the cell further comprises a senor and a processor, where the processor is configured to automatically change an operation of the cell, based on a reading from the sensor. In some cases, a fluid flows past a magnet before entering the cell. In some additional cases, fluid from the cell is conditioned by being split into multiple conduits that run in proximity to each other. Additional implementations are described.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, relate to a method for carbon capture from sea water. A first source of sea water into a reverse osmosis chamber. Reverse osmosis is performed on the sea water to produce fresh water and brine. The brine is provided to an electrolyzer. A current is passed through the brine and fresh water, thereby producing a hydroxide solution in a cathode chamber of the electrolyzer. The hydroxide solution is collected and placed into a contacting chamber and new sea water introduced. Precipitates are produced comprising at least calcium carbonate and magnesium carbonate.

The beauty device according to the present invention comprises by including a mist processing part generating sterilization water by electrolyzing water in a water tank and spraying the generated sterilization water in the form of mists, and a temperature stimulation processing part applying temperature stimulation to skin using a thermoelement. A more convenient and efficient skin care can be made possible because a mist spray function of hydrogen sterilization water and a temperature stimulation function can be simultaneously implemented using a single portable device. The temperature stimulation function can be simply implemented because temperature is controlled using a Peltier device.

An electrolytic ion water generation method for generating strong electrolytic ion water having a pH value higher than a reference pH value through use of the same generation apparatus as an electrolytic ion water generation apparatus configured to generate electrolytic ion water having the reference pH value by setting an amount of raw water, which is to be supplied into a cathode chamber of an electrolytic bath, to be smaller than that of the raw water used for generating the electrolytic ion water having the reference pH value and setting generation conditions other than the amount of the raw water to the same generation conditions as those for generating the electrolytic ion water having the reference pH value. The raw water amount is set to a raw water amount calculated based on the following expression: pH=14+log [OH.sup.−].

A method produces hydrogen peroxide in an aqueous solution by electrochemical reduction of oxygen. An oxygen containing gas is supplied to an electrochemically active side of a cathode contained in a cathodic compartment. The cathode contains a porous gas diffusion electrode, one side of which contains a carbon based electrochemically active layer capable of catalyzing the reduction of oxygen to hydrogen peroxide. The cathodic compartment is in fluid communication with an anodic compartment. At least one at least partly water soluble, weak protonic electrolyte is supplied to a catholyte. The weak protonic electrolyte has a pKa which is at least one unit higher than the pH of the catholyte at the onset of the oxygen reduction reaction to hydrogen peroxide. The catholyte is not pH buffered and the pH of the catholyte is let to evolve in course of the reaction.

A redox-active compound is disclosed that is the reaction product of an electron-withdrawing monomer, a cross-linker, and a redox-active moiety. The cross-linker may be connected to the redox-active moiety through the electron-withdrawing functional group. The redox-active compound has a reduced form and an oxidized form and neither the reduced form nor the oxidized form is decomposed by oxygen.

The redox-active composition may be part of a membraneless electrochemical cell.

An electrolyzed water-manufacturing apparatus comprises: a flow-through-type electrolysis tank, having a pair of electrodes disposed parallel to each other, obtained by forming an anode chamber and a cathode chamber with a diaphragm stretched between the electrodes parallel therewith, and through which water flows through the anode chamber and the cathode chamber sequentially; a electrolysis starting water supply tube connected to the inlet of the anode chamber for supplying electrolysis starting water only to the anode chamber; an electrolyzed water extraction tube connected to the outlet of the cathode chamber for extracting the electrolyzed water; a circulation tube connecting the anode chamber outlet to the cathode chamber inlet; a free chlorine-removing filter disposed in the circulation tube; and a circulation tube formed downstream of the free chlorine-removing filter.
