Abstract:
A portable oxidant generator comprising:at least one cell, said cell comprising at least two electrodes wherein at least one electrode comprises at least one cathode and at least one electrode comprises at least one anode; a control circuit for providing an electrical potential between at least one of said at least one cathode and at least one of said at least one anode, wherein said control circuit is in electrical contact with said at least one cathode and said at least one anode; an electrolyte solution for placement in said cell wherein said electrical potential causes a controlled electrical charge to pass through said electrolyte solution from said at least one cathode to said at least one anode, thereby generating at least one oxidant in said electrolyte solution; an energy source in electrical contact with said control circuit wherein said control circuit delivers a controlled electrical charge having a predetermined charge value.
