A water purification technology, developed and owned by Pollosano ltd. and currently patent protection, demonstrates the results of water purification shown in the table below. As mentioned above, this technology is based on diffusing air bubbles into a water tank. These bubbles contain clusters of radicalized oxygen molecules in the gas phase, which are created in a specially designed radicalized molecular oxygen generator. Radicalized oxygen molecules are known to be aggressive oxidants and hyper-active agents for purifying water from organic, inorganic and biological contaminants due to their unstable electrically excited state. The Pollosano technology produces these radicalized molecules from electrically neutral, gas phase oxygen molecules at ambient air inside the generator. The basic steps of the process of electrically exciting molecular oxygen include introducing ambient air into the radicalized oxygen molecules generator at ambient temperature and a selected pressure. Inside the generator, the oxygen molecules are simultaneously exposed to UV radiation and local magnetic field(s) along the longitudinal axis of the generator. The UV radiation excites the electrons of the π-double bond of the oxygen molecules to a higher meta-stable energy level, while the magnetic field polarizes this π-double bond and extends the mean life-time of the excited molecules. The radicalized oxygen molecules maintain their meta-stable state by constantly shifting among different electronic states, which all form together an allotrope. The special configuration of the magnetic field with local intensity in a particular volume inside the generator maintains large clusters of electrically excited oxygen molecules over time. This increases the yield of the generator in producing them and eventually the efficiency of purifying water. The clusters of radicalized oxygen molecules are held in the local magnetic field(s) in the generator and drift downwards to its exit at the bottom with the flow of the incoming ambient air. A tube and a diffuser, serially connected to the bottom exit of the generator, let the radicalized oxygen molecules controllably diffuse into the water in a water tank. Air bubbles that contain the allotropes of the radicalized oxygen molecules float inside the water bulk and aggressively attack practically all types of contaminants due to their unstable electronic state. Oxidation of the contaminants is carried out in essentially two paths. In an indirect path molecular oxygen radicals react with water molecules to produce a highly reactive hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide reacts with inorganic, metallic compounds, organic compounds and biological entities in the water. In the direct path, the air bubbles that contain molecular oxygen radicals come in contact with the contaminants and attack them in order to reach their stable electronic state back. It is assumed that the direct path is much more dominant in the Pollosano system, because the generator is capable of producing relatively stable clusters of radicalized oxygen molecules that are protected inside the air bubbles that diffuse into the water. In both paths, products, by-products and debris of the water contaminants produced in the oxidation reaction, float in the water bulk. At least part of them precipitates on the floor of the water tank and form an insoluble sludge. The sludge can then be easily separated from the liquid water. All other soluble products are either harmless to livestock and farm animal and/or can be further filtered out. The figure below shows an allotrope with interchanging states of the electrically excited oxygen molecules after exposure to UV radiation and in the presence of a magnetic field.
