This article analyzes the issue of developing ecologically safe technologies for obtaining the electrochemically activated water solutions for ensuring the rational use of water resources and reducing the volume of discharges of harmful substances into the environment. The necessity of controlling the depth of electrochemical activation for obtaining ecologically safe industrial water solutions and reducing the energy consumption of this process was substantiated. The ecological advantages of electrochemically activated solutions application were presented as compared to the chemical solutions in the technologies of activated carbon surfaces modification to increase the supercapacitors electrode specific capacitance, preparation of the gypsum plaster mixing water to improve the physicochemical properties of gypsum stone, as well as efficiency of use of disinfectant based on the electrochemically activated water solutions solutions, approbated in the sugar production industry. It was experimentally confirmed that the depth of electrochemical activation significantly affects the efficiency of practical use of activated water solutions. The proposed theoretical models allow prediction of the activation modes for solving specific problems.
