Electrolysis is used extensively in metallurgical processes, such as in extracting (electrowinning) or purification (electrorefining) of metals from ores or compounds and in deposition of metals from solution (electroplating). 3, record 1, English, - electrolysis

Les applications industrielles de l'électrolyse sont très variées : affinage électrolytique de certains métaux (cuivre, zinc, etc.), préparation de chlore et des chlorures décolorants, fabrication de la soude par électrolyse du sel marin, celle de l'hydrogène et de l'oxygène, préparation de l'aluminium, galvanoplastie, dorure, nickelage, etc. 2, record 1, French, - %C3%A9lectrolyse

Silver introduced into the water by electrolysis has an antiseptic action which, to be really effective, requires a very long contact time and high doses which are not well tolerated by the human body. Organic substances present in the water passivate the metal and reduce its effectiveness still more. Silver is practically inactive in relation to bacteriophages, bacilli spores, algae and fungi, which cause skin diseases. The electro-argoligenic process does not, therefore, completely protect bathers from contamination. 2, record 2, English, - electrolysis

L'argent introduit dans l'eau par électrolyse a une action antiseptique qui demande, pour être réellement efficace, un temps de contact très long et des doses élevées, difficilement tolérées par l'organisme. Les substances organiques présentes dans l'eau passivent le métal et en diminuent encore l'efficacité. L'argent est pratiquement inactif vis-à-vis des bactériophages, des spores de bacilles, des algues et des champignons, causes des maladies de la peau. Le procédé électroargoligène ne met donc pas les baigneurs à l'abri des contaminations. 1, record 2, French, - %C3%A9lectrolyse
