Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A liquid treatment unit ( 1 ) includes: an electrical conductor ( 5 ) including a first surface ( 2 ) and a second surface ( 3 ), and a space ( 4 ) provided between the first surface and the second surface in which hydrogen ions move; and a structure ( 6 ) arranged on the second surface to regulate an oxygen supply amount. A liquid treatment device ( 10 ) includes the liquid treatment unit, and a treatment tank ( 7 ) which keeps a liquid ( 9 ) to be treated, wherein the first surface of the electrical conductor in the liquid treatment unit is located inside the treatment tank.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A liquid treatment unit comprising: an electrical conductor including a first surface and a second surface, and a space provided between the first surface and the second surface in which hydrogen ions move, the electrical conductor providing electrical connection between the first surface and the second surface; and a structure arranged on the second surface to regulate an oxygen supply amount, the structure supplying oxygen to the second surface. 2 . The liquid treatment unit according to claim 1 , wherein the electrical conductor supports an oxygen reduction catalyst on the second surface. 3 . The liquid treatment unit according to claim 1 , wherein the electrical conductor includes an electrically conductive porous sheet. 4 . The liquid treatment unit according to claim 1 , wherein the electrical conductor includes at least one of an electrically conductive woven sheet or an electrically conductive nonwoven sheet. 5 . The liquid treatment unit according to claim 1 , wherein at least part of a surface of the electrical conductor corresponding to the space provided between the first surface and the second surface is covered with an electrically insulating material. 6 . The liquid treatment unit according to claim 1 , wherein the structure is a water-repellent sheet. 7 . A liquid treatment device comprising: the liquid treatment unit according to claim 1 ; and a treatment tank which keeps a liquid to be treated, wherein the first surface of the electrical conductor in the liquid treatment unit is located inside the treatment tank. 8 . The liquid treatment device according to claim 7 , wherein the electrical conductor supports an anaerobic microorganism group on the first surface, and supports an oxygen reduction catalyst on the second surface. 9 .
