Augmenting Cleaning Chemicals

a cleaning chemical and liquid soap technology, applied in the direction of biocide, holders and dispensers, nature of treatment water, etc., can solve the problems of difficult to reach a balance between mildness and antimicrobial function, unstable and/or lose their potency or ability to function in the product, and the difficulty of delivering a liquid soap with a good balance of mildness and functionality at the time of desired use, etc., to achieve a high level of functionality

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is a device for dispensing a liquid soap that includes an electrolytic cell with an anode and a cathode separated by a semipermeable membrane. The device has two containers for a surfactant and an antimicrobial agent that are connected to the electrodes. The device also has a drain for withdrawing a solution from the anode and cathode compartments after electrolysis. The solution formed after electrolysis can be applied to the user's hands for disinfecting purposes. The technical effects of the invention are a more efficient and effective method for producing a high-functionality liquid soap with antimicrobial properties.

Problems solved by technology

As described below it is difficult to reach a balance between mildness and antimicrobial function because some of the ingredients prefer an acid environment and others a basic environment.
If mixed together the ingredients may become unstable and / or lose their potency or ability to function in the product.
How to deliver a liquid soap with a good balance of mildness and functionality at the time of desired use has been elusive.

Abstract

Device, system and method for electrochemical generation of a liquid soap by electrolyzing a surfactant in an aqueous carrier in a cathode compartment of an electrolytic cell and electrolyzing an antimicrobial agent in an aqueous carrier in an anode compartment of the electrolytic cell with the compartments separated by a semipermeable membrane. Portions of the electrolyzed surfactant solution and portions of the electrolyzed antimicrobial solution are withdrawn from the cathode compartment and the anode compartment and combined to form the liquid soap. Skin benefiting agents such as vitamins may be added to the liquid soap with the surfactant and / or antimicrobial agent.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to a dispensing device, system and method for electrochemically altering the properties of cleaning chemicals such as liquid soap in a carrier fluid such as water by application of an electric field or current.[0003]2. Brief Description of the Prior Art[0004]Water, surfactant and antimicrobial agents are usually the major components of cleaning chemicals such as liquid soap and electrolytically activated water is known to have good cleaning and disinfecting properties. As described below it is difficult to reach a balance between mildness and antimicrobial function because some of the ingredients prefer an acid environment and others a basic environment. If mixed together the ingredients may become unstable and / or lose their potency or ability to function in the product. How to deliver a liquid soap with a good balance of mildness and functionality at the time of desired use has been elusiv...
