Patent ID: 7767066

Claim:
An electrochemical reactor comprising: a reactor body; a mixing chamber in the reactor body for mixing a first substance with a second substance to form a mixture; an electrolysis chamber in the reactor body including a pair of electrodes extending therein and without a mechanical barrier therebetween for electrolyzing the mixture thereby to change at least a portion of the mixture from a first chemical state to a second chemical state, the electrolysis chamber being in spatial communication with the mixing chamber for allowing the mixture within the reactor body to be transferred from the mixing chamber to the electrolysis chamber, wherein said electrolysis chamber comprises a well adapted to hold the mixture of not more than about 5 milliliters during electrolysis, wherein said electrolysis chamber comprises two electrodes having tips positioned in said well, wherein said reactor body has first and second arms for holding said electrodes, and wherein said arms are flame sealed.
