Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a novel process for the production of peat and mire formations for balneotherapy and to the preparation of mixtures for use.

Peat and marshy natural materials are known to have various healing effects that have been discovered and used by mankind for centuries.

The medical, primarily balneotherapeutic use of peat and peat products is not only based on traditionally developed procedures, but in many respects is linked to the curative system of thermal baths in a scientifically sophisticated and complex manner.

The versatile potential of humic acids in biochemical reactions has been much debated. Particularly interesting are these opportunities for analyzing the healing effects of moor baths for centuries. The curative effects of wet mud baths are often attributed exclusively to thermal effects. Conversely, there have been reviews that link the therapeutic effect to specific organic matter, the effect of humic humic acids. The following literature is more detailed in this regard: Schneider, S .: References about the use of suspended human beings and animals; International Workshop on Properties of Organic Peat Compounds and Their Effect on Metabolism. Braunschweig 19-23 Sept. 1977 Abstract of Papers, Ed .: Until Prof. Son, Forschungs Inst. for Bodenbiochemie, Braunschweig-Volkenrode, pp; and Lachmann, H. Medizinische Moorforschung, Rückblick und Ausblick. Int., Workshop on Properties of Organic Peat Compounds and Their Effect on Metabolism, Braunschweig 1977, Abstract of Papers, Ed., Prof. Son, Braunschweig-Volkenrode, p. 20-24.

However, the chemical effect of peat sludge has so far been neglected because in wet baths, the human skin has been viewed as a one-sided membrane: Lachmann attaches great importance to the interaction based on the significant water uptake of boron during sludge treatment in balneotherapy. it leads to a swelling which is at least 4-5 times the thickness of the capillaries of the skin. This also allows for the subcutaneous administration of active ingredients from the wet bath.

Stöber, O .: Eine moorbalneologische Studie zum Problem des Torf-Breibads. IPS. Symposium hoar DGMT, Bad Alexandersbad (BRD 1985. Abstract of Papers), says that it is very important to have medicinal mud from the original, uncultivated peat area, as herbal, biochemically derived balneotherapeutic healing materials can only be found in the original plain areas.

In his summary, he describes the name he introduced: "Moor-Bukett," basically stating that the balneotherapeutic effect of peat is not related to a particular extractable compound or group of compounds, but to a broad class of substances. Among other things, it attaches great importance to special marsh plants, whose active ingredients are found in humidifying upper mire levels. It also highlights the antibiotic effect of peat and the microorganisms involved in producing this effect, the species Streptomyces and Penicillium (B.Aureus, Str.Flavus, Str. Fulvissiumus, Penicillium Candidum, etc.). It also highlights the importance of oestrogenic compounds.

In addition to the classic wet mud bath, the application of the suspended Moor-Schwebstof suspended mud in water has been developed and tested extensively in the therapeutic application of the famous Austrian spa Bad-Neydharting.

The author points out that the dipole and colloidal nature of humic substances should be studied more closely in the binding of toxic substances, thus

The role of the functional groups of the humic acid in the binding of toxins to various inflammatory diseases.

According to the above work, the current effective applications are:

moor baths (at the spa) dense moor mud baths (also in ambulance) meadow ointments (for medicinal purposes also cosmetics) dilute moor mud baths (floating mud baths).

Our domestic thermal springs and thermal water reserves are known to be of outstanding value in international comparison, and in terms of our total thermal water reserves, they are extremely large. The spread of our peat reserves and mire formations is not large in international terms, but it is not insignificant either.

The quality diversity of domestic peat reserves is extremely wide.

From the beginning of the 1960s, Hanseatic peat, which has been better explored and produced, has proved to be an exceptionally high quality, versatile peat that can be used both internationally and domestically.

Peat species formed in Oslo, and generally in the eastern Hansag, have an exceptional property of high structural stability and excellent fibrous structure.

This is significantly more favorable than other domestic versions of plain peat and, in addition, this structural stability is coupled with an additional feature which is completely exceptional both domestically and internationally.

Oslo and East Hanseatic peat have a very low pH, the lowest value we have measured (which is not typical), approaching a pH of 2.2, but generally within the typical pH range of 3-5. This means, of course, that these peat has no lime content, whereas most of the domestic marsh peat is calcareous and even highly calcareous (with a pH much higher than 7), which is more conducive to the humification and degradation of the upper layer of these peat. However, one of the exceptional properties of these Hanseatic peat is that, as is the case with plain marshland peat, it is extremely rich in nitrogen, and nitrogen sources occur in various forms of nitrogen. The nitrogen content usually reaches a value which is usually several times higher than that of the most stable and fibrous fibrous bog peat.

Hanseatic peat is therefore of exceptional quality, since it has two properties which are important for practical use and have been found to have almost opposite properties in each peat, namely, on the one hand, highly fibrous, structurally stable, fibrous structure and, on the other has an important supply of nitrogen for its biochemical activity in various forms of nitrogen.

The physiological effect of peat is related to many factors, one of which is the crude fibrous plant material of peat, which contains conserved remains of marsh vegetation, and which is very rich in the versatile organic matter of various plant residues with many chemical effects. The diverse healing and biological activity of these special substances has been studied and proven by experimental methods and more recently by scientific methods.

Another important factor in the application of peat balneotherapy is the use of peat on the basis of changes in its heat capacity and large organic colloidal surfaces, according to its physical properties. At the same time, besides the heat effect, not only the peat accompanying substances, but also the role of the peat humic acids themselves in biological activity and biochemical processes are of great importance.

In recent years, our research has proved the multifunctional nature of humic acids, including the versatile potential of peat humic acids in chemical and biochemical reactions. This effect is capable of binding a wide variety of chemical reactions to the toxic substances selected by the human body, which play a major role in the development of diseases, and are thus adsorbed in the balneotherapy mud bath and bind to the colloidal surfaces of the peat. We believe that one of the chemical principles of this bond has so far been little emphasized. The prominent role of this attachment in processes is provided by one of the well-known basic laws of chemistry: the Le Chatelier-Brown principle; and, according to the laws of chemical reaction equilibrium, the outflow of toxic substances is complete, as the reaction would be equilibrium, and the effluent would inhibit further outflow if the exceptionally large colloidal and absorbent surface represented by the peat-mire sludge formulations used, would not bind them. This high colloidal surface effect completes the outflow and thus reduces the body's exposure to harmful substances.

The methods used in balneotropy, by exposure to thermal water at temperatures of 42-50 degrees Celsius, also promote the release of heat through the skin surface, however, in the completion of the reaction, particulate matter binding is of decisive importance.

It can thus be seen that the different types of peat and mire formations have very different physical and chemical characteristics, but their extraction is random and is currently not consciously considered for balneotherapy.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to enable the extraction of peat and mire formations in a manner which makes it possible to consciously decide from where and how much material is required for balneotherapy or even for medical use.

Depending on the layers to be extracted, samples are taken from each layer at the designated locations, the K value, the C / N value and the hydr.N value are determined from these layers,

The extraction sites suitable for balneotherapy and the individual layers are selectively extracted, the selectively extracted peat layers are stored separately and, if desired, the peat or marsh formations from the various layers are mixed together to meet the therapeutic and formulation requirements for use.

One of the discoveries of the present invention is that Hanseatic peat, due to its special properties, is particularly suited to such applications, and another, more basic, recognition is that peat and mire formations have basic parameters that determine their effect and behavior in medicine. utilization can be controlled and planned.

In recent years, several layers have been investigated at hundreds of sampling sites in the largest peat areas in Hungary, and their parameters determined using the specific parameter system developed in accordance with the present invention.

These parameters are suitable for characterizing the biochemical properties and biological activity of peat and were developed based on the relationships established during our research. These parameters are essential to the present invention, as the first time the extraction and formulation of the formulations to be used after their determination is made, taking into account the measured values.

One of the most important parameters developed for peat characterization is the identification and characterization of the humification degree of peat. This parameter is the humus quality stability coefficient of peat, the so-called humus quality coefficient. R-value.

The K value is a value expressed as a quotient of the light adsorption values for peat humic acid extracts in NaF and NaOH solution, which also takes into account the total organic matter content of the peat.

On this basis, the humus stability coefficient of a peat can be determined as follows:

K _ ^R NaF ^R NaOHH

The value calculated from this formula, the K-value, is suitable for characterizing the degree of humification of the peat and hence its biological, biochemical activity by this parameter.

The formulas in the formula are as follows: E _{NaF is} the extinction value of the humic acids dissolved in a 1% NaF solution, as measured on the photometer;

E _{Na0H is} ^the extinction value of the humic acids dissolved in ^a 0.5% NaOH solution as measured on a photometer;

H is the total organic matter content of peat as determined by loss on ignition.

The determination of this parameter is very simple, and the essence is that the highly humic high-humic humic substances, humic fractions, dissolve to a greater extent in NaF, while the crude, still-transforming humic substances in NaOH are dissolved. Extraction itself is very simple, at room temperature with a 1:10 peat to solvent ratio. Air dry peat with the solution - eg. In a Wassermann tube - Shake after 48 hours standing on an analytical filter paper (MN 640 w) and prepare for photometric measurement. (This represents the dilution of these extremely dark solutions, if appropriate, to the extent that they fit within the measuring range.)

Of course, this dilution is taken into account as a multiplier after the extinction values have been determined, since at their original concentration they would have had a corresponding absorbency. According to our research, this operation is possible because the Lambert-Beer Act is in effect.

The extinction values for light absorption characterization in the visible spectrum are determined at 9 different wavelengths and the average of the K values obtained at each wavelength is calculated and gives the stability coefficient of peat formation according to the above-mentioned formula.

Given that the more humidified peat has an extremely high K-value and the lowest the raw peat, this method is excellent for judging the degree of humification.

However, this parameter, while expressing the richness of humic substances and their large molecule variants, which is very important for the application of the basic biochemical toxicant binding principle, is only one-sided to characterize biological activity.

Another important feature in this regard is the issue of peat-nitrogen relations. The more enriched peat and peat humic acids are in nitrogen, the better is the principle of polyfunctionality and the multifunctional role of peat in each biochemical reaction.

It is known that during the humification of all natural materials the C / N ratio decreases. We found that the degree of humification in the same peatland area is extremely different in different peat layers, but it is always closely related to the change of C / N value. We also found that the K values of the humified peat divided by the K values of the original peat below it give characteristic values for the degree of humification and the ΔΚ values in the same layers are closely related to the C / N ratio. As the ΔΚ values increase, the C / N ratio changes, that is, the AC / N ratio for the same layers generally decreases.

The AC / N value is the quotient of the C / N values of the upper humified peat layer and the original peat layer below (determined by the C content with the loss of ignition, the N content by the Kjeldahl method).

In the process of the present invention, we have assumed that one of the major contradictions of the successful therapeutic application of peat is that even in the same regions, or in principle, apparently similar or identical peat,

The biochemical activity or biological activity may vary greatly. Similarly, the effects of purely physical therapy, that is to say, heat treatment, can be very different.

This realization has led us to consider that the parameter system we have developed for peat must always be examined. In addition, we have found a new basic relationship, which can be characterized by measuring the biological activity of peat and its expected biochemical content by measuring the hydrolyzable nitrogen content of peat, related to the change in C / N ratio during humification. Thus, we have realized that there is a threefold relationship in the humification of peat, which essentially characterizes the complex biological, biochemical activity of a given peat or peat formation and thus the applicability of balneotherapy.

It is a fundamental principle of humification processes that the C / N ratio decreases with increasing K values and that establishing this relationship in the process of the present invention implies a new theoretical application of the established regularity.

When the C / N ratio decreases, that is, the humidification processes of the peat begin and begin to grow, there is a vivid biological, biochemical activity in the peat or peat layer. One of the measurable parameters of this is the change in the amount of hydrolysable nitrogen released from the peat humic acids. According to our results there is a very strong correlation between the decrease of C / N ratios, the increase of AC / N values and hydrolysable nitrogen values, and the Ahidr.N values. The latter is defined as the quotient of the value of the upper humidified layer of a given peat by hydrolysis with 0.25 M ₂ SO ₄ solution and the value of nitrogen of the original peat layer below it, determined in the same way. so certain. Category boundaries can be established on the basis of which we could classify the domestic examined peat into 6 categories.

Of course, the biological and biochemical effects within the categories are not only dependent on the C / N ratios, so there are some fluctuations within the category boundaries, but depending on the features of the local formations, the detailed results of hundreds of samples of 12 further examination of the local phenomena based on it showed that the law of category boundaries we established was completely general.

Table I below illustrates this.

hydr. N categories Within the category hydr. N. C / N average I Ahidr.N. <1,000 0.639 1.112 II. Δ hydr. N. - 1,000 1,056 0.948 III. ? Hydr. N. = 1,100-1,599 1,382 0.821 ARC. ? Hydr. N. = 1,600-1.999 1,827 0.812 V Δ hydr N. = 2,000-2,999 2.358 .801 VI. Δ hydr N. = 3,000 4.111 .627

Thus, according to the invention, it has been determined which parameters of peat should be measured and according to what relationships; however, what kind of application we want to implement in a given case is also important for applicability or usability.

For the therapeutic use of peat, two main fields of application have been developed according to the classical experience of therapy.

One of these is the use of a thin peat bath Sk, which is a low concentration of peat or peat preparations used in thermal water for balneotherapy bath baths. This treatment method is characterized by convection heat conduction, the main color of which is the transition zone, which is a 0.5 cm layer adhering to the contact surface of the molten bath on the patient's skin surface. During the process, the rapid cooling of the bath water and, in connection with this, the part of the body surface with the flow, a certain amount of heat is removed; that is, cooler flow occurs on the skin surface. The maximum bath temperature in this case is 42 degrees Celsius. This mode of application is used to a lesser extent.

Another more advantageous therapeutic approach is the balneotherapy of a peat bath. This is a conductive heat transfer treatment method in which the transition layer, including the skin,

8-12 cm thick zone. There is no flow in this bathtub, so thermostatically, long-lasting warmth effects occur that evenly surround the entire body. The maximum temperature for this treatment mode is 47 degrees Celsius; in the case of partial baths, you can only reach 50 degrees Celsius for the therapeutic treatment of a specific part of the body.

Because of their biological activity, as has recently become known, peat can also be used in a variety of formulations for medical purposes, in various treatments such as wraps or fractions soluble with solvents such as alcohol, peat humic acids and various anthropogenic agents of peat formulations.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a novel method which allows the differentiated application of peat to different applications of balnotherapy without chemical intervention.

1-5 serve to better understand the invention. Figures 1 to 4 illustrate the practical implementation of differentiated extraction;

Figure 2 illustrates an application example; Figure 3 shows combinations of raw materials in the extraction area of Figures 1 and 2;

Figure 4 is a distribution of layers of peat area; Figure 5 shows an example of the extraction and isolation of the area according to peat layer properties.

Thus, in Fig. 1, the 0 to 25 cm portion separated from the surface by a dashed down line is the unsuitable layer loaded with the highest anthropogenic influences. The depth or thickness of this may, of course, also depend on local conditions.

The following rectangles, 25-40 cm, are humifi5

The 40-70 cm II. part represents the original peat layers. The indices clearly show that both the lower and upper layers in both series of rectangles represent formations of different qualities and qualities that may, in different respects, be capable of treating different diseases.

Indications for use, for example, for the first and second vertical rows due to bacteriostatic and adsorption effects are: post-treatment of electrically-burned and other surgical wounds, dermatology dominates the first column; at the second vertical column urological treatments, urinary tract treatments; the third column is a transitional column, the fourth and fifth vertical columns contain high chemosorption, biochemical detoxifying substances, so the fourth column is mainly composed of gynecological diseases, while the fifth column is used for rheumatic inflammatory diseases.

Figure 2 illustrates versions A / and B / as a simple application example.

In the case of A /, the extraction sites of five types of peat peat are shown in the figure; the need to use them: to make a suitable suspension of the raw material to be extracted for the production of dilute peatburds and stable granules with good floatation; for eczema, bacterial and urological treatments.

The biochemical properties of the suspension are as follows: HT1, which is a low molecular weight high bacteriostatic agent containing a lot of water soluble material and is not very humidified, should be used to stabilize the suspension, and ET1 should be used to augment water soluble low molecular weight material. For example, in such a possible composition, 70% of HT1 and 30% of ET1 are used.

In version B / I, we want to formulate multi-component suspensions or mixtures of any desired effect depending on the nature of the effect desired.

Mixtures of any desired effect can be prepared from the available area, with differentiated yields and mixing from different layers. Such possible mixtures are illustrated in Figures I, II. and III. case composition.

Figure 3 shows that the raw materials of the raw material producing area outlined in Figures 1 and 2 may be targets for treatment, e.g. building or combining effects over time. In this example, 16 treatments with time-varying directional effects and composition can be performed in four phases (I, II, III and IV).

Figure 4 shows that there are well-defined layers I, II, III in a given area which, however, contain partially different parts a, b and c, but the layers can nevertheless be defined by their properties.

Figure 5 shows the blend formation options. A) Requirement: Conventional, primarily heat-retaining, wet bath.

Of course, the peat produced by the process of the present invention may also have specific properties that may be suitable for use in therapy without mixing.

There are several ways to utilize peat for medical purposes. These treatments, listed below, are important because they help to prevent the patient from spending long periods of time or months in the spa; outpatient treatments can be performed with the following preparations:

1.) Peat bath: either tap water or medicinal water, mixing peat in the right proportion, so called In the form of a "float bath", in baths or in a pool.

2.) Peat wrap: a suitably prepared, paste-like peat wrap (compress) for body parts or the whole body.

3.) Peat compress: Peat sold in canvas bags of appropriate shape and size for wrapping body parts; this can be done in the patient's home or in institutional settings.

4.) Peat cream: in a tube or box. (Primarily for topical treatment of dermatological diseases such as psoriasis, or in cosmetology.)

5.) Cryotherapy: properly prepared and

Packing with peat cooled at 0.4 ° C, eg. in certain cases of varicose veins.

HU 210 235 A

The first three treatments are mainly used for chronic musculoskeletal disorders (eg, in certain cases of arthrosis, spondylosis, myalgia, inflammatory lesions) and also for chronic gynecological conditions (eg, adnexitis, reduced fertility, etc.).

In addition to the options listed, in some cases other topical applications of peat (eg in the form of drinking cure or vaginal or suppository suppositories) may be considered.

The invention will now be illustrated by way of an exemplary embodiment.

Example

1.) Extracted peat is based on:

The peat area in the eastern Hansag basin is a unique formation both nationally and internationally.

It combines the contradictory and contradictory qualities of clear widespread ski marshes and marshes in this one and the same area and place.

In terms of physical properties, the acidic, flat, crude and fibrous material that resembles that of the crude fiber formations of the moths can be found, as well as the dark colored, highly humified, high molecular weight real and highly humidified peat and peat.

The essence of the new parameter system is to determine the degree of humidity of peat and mire formations, its easily soluble nitrogen compounds, and the nitrogen forms of the highly absorbable, reactive and reactive nitrogen species in a stable fraction.

These special parameters developed by us are suitable for general characterization.

2.) Purpose of exploited peat species - determination of complex healing effect.

On the basis of the active substances of peat and mire formations obtained by differentiated extraction, a mixture of peat, sometimes defined in composition, is prepared which is capable of achieving a complex therapeutic effect in the given disease.

3.) Marking and demarcation of mining area, development of drainage ditch system

Since the peat for the preparation of the medicinal peat mixture is of plant, biochemical origin only found in the original slender bog areas, the mining area can be marked only on the original, non-curved peat field.

Preliminary investigations in the eastern basin of the Hansag can also be carried out to determine appropriate mining sites. Within this, the mining area is formed by a drainage, guide and boundary ditch system with a 50 x 50 m production system. In this area, special marsh plants, which are free of external production effects, grow naturally on the lawn, on the top layer. The mining area is located at a distance and distance from other economic activities; can be cultivated as a unit separate from traffic hazards and water pollution.

It is important that the extracted peat material is temporarily stored safely in the saturated peat field.

4.) Construction of the mining wall

Conducting tests on the basis of a complex parameter system and developing a suitable sampling system.

The system delimiting the mining area and the guidewire system allows for safe skeleton management at a depth of 250 cm. Deployment based leader prices can be fitted with a staged production system. The starting mine wall is 240 cm deep and 50 m long.

Preliminary testing is partly carried out above the groundwater table but may occasionally occur in underwater zones. This should be borne in mind when designing sampling sites, but the emphasis is on the length and overall depth of the entire mine wall, taking into account demand and material composition.

In addition to the requirements of the new parameter system, the amount of peat samples is determined by the exact volume and weight, moisture content, ash content, and groundwater and sand test requirements, depending on the actual physically perceptible layer formation.

The complete order and method of preliminary sampling shall be specified in a separate instruction.

5.) Separation of layers based on the results of preliminary examination.

Layers to be created: name: LETTER: - lawn level F-1 he humidified top layer (wetland) F-2 - mature peat 30-50 cm T-1 - mature peat 30-50 cm T-2 - mature peat 30-50 cm T-3 - mixed peat T-4 mixed peat T-5 fibrous peat T-6 - peaty mud Ti-1 - sandy gravel bed A-1

The following table illustrates the dimensioning of layers:

The delimitation of peat layers based on the complex results of the preliminary examination:

Serial number: Name of peat formation: sign: Size / cm L) Grass level (top layer) F-L 15.0 2.) Humified top layer (wetland) F-2 20.0 Total: 35.0 3.) Ripe peat T l 20.0 4.) Ripe peat T-2 25.0

HU 210 235 A

Serial number: Name of peat formation: sign: Size / cm 5.) Ripe peat T-3 30.0 Total: 75.0 6.) Mixed peat (fibrous and ripe) T-4 30.0 7.) Mixed peat T-5 20.0 Total: 50.0 8.) Fibrous peat T-6 40.0 Total: 40.0 9.) Peat sludge Ti-1 20.0 Total: 20.0 10.) Sandy gravel (subgrade lying) (emphasis added) A-I 20.0 Total: 20.0 Grand total: 240.0 Total depth of mine wall: 2.40 m 240

Based on a complex evaluation of the laboratory tests, the layers of the mine wall are selected and defined. Separate highlighting of conspicuous layers, organizing temporary storage and protecting stored peat from external contamination is a key technology requirement.

It is important that the grass level is removed from the production site immediately after harvesting.

The maximum number of layers - topsoil, peat, sludge and sand - is not expected to exceed 10 layers, but an average of 6-7 layers should be expected when organizing mine production.

6.) Method of peat extraction

- technology, storage, tools.

In a properly prepared demarcated mine area, the layers of the individual peat formations shall be marked prominently and over their entire depth, calculated on a unit of 50 x 2.4 m.

Prior to the loss of peat, the soil of the temporary storage area - the grassland-free and leveled part of the next storage area - shall be put in a suitable state for transport and separate storage.

Production technology, whatever the method or economic opportunity, depends on the amount of peat extracted at any one time. In general, you should not violate the 50 mx 50 m production system rule, which amounts to a total of 6000 m ³ and 3600 t of peat, respectively. It represents 600-1000 m ³ and 360-600 ts respectively as a stand-alone depot in the temporary storage, with a volume weight of 0.6-0.7 t / m ³ .

Methods for extracting the loss are:

- hand-stitched production

- grabber loss

- excavator excavation

- layered production by milling machine.

The method of production for medical purposes, depending on quantity and economic feasibility, can only be hand-stitched production or small-scale combined milling. The combined solution assumes the use of a "machine family" - rotary milling, rotation, assembly, material handling -. Our proposal assumes and considers both methods possible. Of course, separate operating instructions and sequences require independent control.

Means of operation and storage of mine production:

- mobile pump

- stable pump

- aggregator (mobile generator)

- conveyors

- Rotary milling machines (hand or crawler)

- small rotary-blade unit

- bucket loader

- hydraulic excavator - periodically - hand tools

- sampling equipment.

An entirely new and special solution in peat production is that instead of continuous and full depth extraction of peat, the batch process is horizontal, small-scale (instead of the previous vertical solution); followed by temporary storage in separate production depots with continuous movement.

A significant change in the production method is that the layers identified on the basis of the test result and the units of the temporary deposit are given the same signal, then the transport and processing from the temporary storage is completely closed, but the signal is the same in the warehouse.

It is a safety and novelty of the procedure that the continuous storage area, the weeds and deposits of the deposited deposits there is a continuous task, but chemical treatment is completely excluded. This is a strict rule here and at every stage of the production line.

It follows that a covered or concealed solution may be used for transport; relatively sterile conditions must also be created during the handling of the material.

7.) Processing of peat and mire formations:

- Production preparation, testing, production line, certification Based on the physical characteristics, biochemical and biological activity of the special peat extracted from the Hanság Eastern Basin, which has been excavated, certified and novel, there are two basic uses for medical purposes:

- One method is the direct application of the biological activity of the peat species in the form of a "floating material bath", a peat wrap (compress) or cryotherapy, a process of cooling with peat.

- The other method is the preparation of preparations of turbid materials - solutions, humic acids, creams, etc. - making it and applying it at home or in the institution.

The first method is mainly used in cases of chronic locomotor disorders, while the other method is used in the case of chronic diseases, but it allows various forms of continuous after-treatment and home use.

The basis for the preparation of the peat mixture is the exact proportion8

EN 210 235 Determination of lumps, composition by detailed pre-production testing of uniformly produced, isolated and sealed but labeled peat formations, by comparing new characteristic parameters of biological, biochemical activity with medical requirements. The peat mixture of such controlled composition is safe, deserves quality and can be used for the desired therapeutic effect. An example of a possible composition is:

- Material of T-1 mature peat 10% - T-5 mixed peat material 30% - T-6 fibrous peat material 35% - Ti-1 bulk mud 5% - A-1 filtered sand 10% - other additives (salt from Sárvár, etc.) 5% - F-2 humified layer 5%

Total: 100%

The most important part of the production preparation is the qualifying test and the composition of the peat mixture. This is followed by metered dosing of the raw materials and the assembly of the series.

Operation of the production line requires independent technological instruction, the main requirement of which is to achieve a closed system and complete homogeneity in the final product.

Tools for blending:

- conveyor belts covered,

- grinding and tearing machines

- cassette mixer

- dispenser

- burns with roll vibration.

- loosening machine

- packaging and sealing machine

- counting equipment

- storage container

- material handling and transport machinery

- equipment of in-house laboratory.

The finished product is certified according to the respective quality control. The quality shall be stated on the packaging of the mixture.

Further processing can be: bath sludge, other pasty substances, extracts and liquid solutions, creams, dry compresses, etc.

These formulations are based on a mixture of pulps which can be subjected to further processing using new or known technologies.
