Abstract:
1. A ballast water electrolytic apparatus, which serves to sterilize ballast water used to balance a ship, comprising: a ballast water electrolytic chamber into which ballast water is introduced, wherein the ballast water comprises chloride ions; an oxygen supply chamber into which oxygen is introduced; an anode provided in the ballast water electrolytic chamber for producing chlorine oxides by electrolyzing the ballast water; and an oxygen cathode separating the ballast water electrolytic chamber and the oxygen supply chamber, wherein the oxygen cathode diffuses oxygen from the oxygen supply chamber into the ballast water electrolytic chamber and thereby produces water by reacting hydrogen ions in the ballast water electrolytic chamber with oxygen introduced into the oxygen supply chamber, the oxygen cathode comprising:
