This is a device that improves the hydrophilicity of hydrophobic substances (powders) like carbon particles by applying a strong electric field with a constant voltage for a certain period of time.

When the object is a conductor, the movement of electrons occurs under a strong electric field. When the object is an insulator, the electrons within the insulator show movement towards the charged body within the range allowed by the atomic nucleus. In both cases, a slight polarization in the molecular structure can be induced. The polarization of the molecules demonstrates an effect that enhances the hydrophilicity of the object. The chamber capacity for introducing the object is approximately 7 liters, and the entire chamber will be in a strong electric field environment. The amount of powder depends on the physical properties of the material, but about 2-4 kg of powder can be added, allowing for processing all at once. Since the molecules of the object change gradually, a certain amount of time is required, necessitating a 24-hour static treatment within the chamber.
