Description

One kind has activated water, adjusts the tubing of water pH value function
Technical field
The present invention relates to tubing technical field, is a kind of with activated water specifically, water body pH is adjusted The tubing of value function.
Background technology
Water is Source of life, is that the mankind depend on for existence material base.Water clusters in life about by 30~40 hydrone compositions, the water molecule cluster being contaminated is bigger, and passes through research practice and show, Small molecule water body is beneficial to health.Therefore, the hydrone number of daily water consumption molecular cluster is reduced, To be more suitable for human health water.Small molecule water body degree of association is low, dissolving power, penetration, metabolism power, Extension, emulsifying ability are higher, can strengthen the metabolism of organism to a certain extent, blood lipid metabolism, Enzymatic activity and immunologic function.
Inner tubing layers prepared by the present invention adopt composite, by introducing functional powder, in pipeline During water delivery, activation water body is realized, adjust water PH value, and the effect of purifying water body to a certain extent. The function powder, with infrared emitting, surface field function, and is adjusted by certain formula, Various functions are strengthened.Hydrogen bond action can be effectively destroyed to a certain extent, make associated water molecules With reduction, the effect of activated water is realized.Additionally, the complex function powder can also adsorb and neutralize running water The harmful substances such as middle bleaching powder, with the effect for adjusting pH value and purifying water body.Water body after activation, can To be applied in multiple fields such as family kitchen guarding, industry, agricultural, health cares.

Tourmaline has natural electric polarity, and the hydrogen bond that electric field can be destroyed in hydrone changes hydrone Cluster Structures, macromolecular water micromolecular water is become.Further, since it has pyroelectricity and piezoelectricity, When temperature or pressure occur minor variations, the tourmaline interior molecules dipole moment change that can cause makes point Son is energized into high level, and when its downward transition, unnecessary energy will be discharged in the form of infra-red radiation Out.Therefore, tourmaline also has emitting far-infrared function, in the energy and water of far infrared Hydrogen bond produces resonance, the hydrogen bond in hydrone can be opened, and reduces associated water molecules effect, realizes The effect of activated water.
Likewise, Graphene, bamboo charcoal powder also have far-infrared transmitting function, cooperateed with by certain allotment Effect, it is possible to achieve the optimization of infrared effect emissivity.
Cerium oxide, compound rare-earth powder are rare earth material, and under tourmaline electric field action, part electronics is forced With direction of an electric field displacement, recombination probability is reduced, and electronics -- the reduction of hole-recombination probability, is composite powder Body surface area has gathered the big energy of dissociation hydrone, can to a certain extent improve water body activation effect. And the doping of zirconium oxide, titanium oxide and rare earth material, can further improve the performance.
Additionally, the harmful substance such as bleaching powder in running water can also be adsorbed and be neutralized to medical stone, bamboo charcoal powder, tool Play the role of to adjust pH value and purifying water body.
The average-size of described function powder is at 0.01~1 micron.
The resin matrix that described plastic pipe ectonexine is selected is same raw material, is PP complete series products (PPR, PPB, PPH, PP-RCT), PE series of products (PE, PERT etc.), PB series of products In one kind.
As preferred technical scheme:
The mass percent of functional powder is respectively and presses tourmaline 20%, Graphene 0.3%, medical stone powder 8%, bamboo charcoal powder 7.7%, cerium oxide 9%, zirconium oxide 5%, titanium oxide 5%, compound rare-earth powder 10%, Porous silica 35% carries out dispensing;
The preparation of functional powder:By tourmaline, Graphene, medical stone powder, bamboo charcoal powder, cerium oxide, Zirconium oxide, titanium oxide, compound rare-earth powder dispensing are component A;And average grain diameter is 10~20 microns Porous silica is B component, then using the method for ball mill dry grinding, to component A and B groups The mixture for dividing is ground, and in control process of lapping, grinding zirconium strain average grain diameter is 0.1~1.5mm, 65~70v% of packing volume, grinding rotating speed is 2000~3500r/min, and milling time is 25~55min, Powder is sufficiently mixed, then again abrasive material be transferred to nitrogen protection high-temperature laser agglomerating chamber In, laser Fast Sintering is carried out, power 900W in sintering process, abrasive material tiling thickness is 0.3mm, Sintering rate is 0.5m/min, prepares functional powder.
It is mainly control function powder and porous silica in sintering process again into mineralization process, not only Improve powder to bond in porous silica, reduce powder and be lost in, while promoting work(using high-temperature laser Energy powder chanza in porous silica, improves the cooperative effect of function powder.
Compared with prior art, the positive effect of the present invention is:
It is of the present invention to adjust the tubing of water pH value function with activated water, have an advantage in that existing On the basis of plastic conduit, by certain modified, imparting duct products several functions.In pipeline water delivery During, activation water body is capable of achieving, adjust water pH value, and the effect of purifying water body to a certain extent. The pipeline can be applied in multiple fields such as family kitchen guarding, industry, agricultural, health cares.
Description of the drawings
Fig. 1 is the radial and axial profile with activation, the tubing for adjusting water pH value function;1a For radial cutaway view, 1b is axial section;
