Abstract

The application relates to the technical field of disinfectant preparation, and discloses a method for directly preparing hypochlorous acid disinfectant from salt water and a preparation system thereof, which comprises the following steps: mixing salt water containing chlorine ions and dielectric material; under the action of ultrasonic waves, continuously causing the salt water containing chlorine ions to be in interface contact with and separated from the dielectric material, so that contact electrochemical free radical reaction is generated to generate hypochlorous acid; wherein the salt water containing chlorine ions is natural seawater or a chlorine salt solution, the concentration of chlorine ions in the chlorine salt solution is 0.2-1.4 M, the frequency of the ultrasonic wave action is 20-80 kHz, and the power of the ultrasonic wave action is 50-200 W. According to the method, hypochlorous acid is directly generated through a contact electrochemical free radical route, no chlorine gas intermediate is generated in the whole process, and major safety risks existing in the production, storage and transportation of chlorine gas in the traditional chlor-alkali process are fundamentally avoided.
