Description

  The present invention relates to a novel method for producing functional water that is excellent in water environment improvement action (purification promotion action) including purification of seawater, river water and sewage.

  On the earth, called the water planet, the role of water is enormous for all life. However, with the progress of urbanization in recent years, pollution of the sea, rivers, and lakes has become more serious every year, and water cannot play a sufficient role for life. Particularly in urban harbors, estuaries, rivers, and drainage channels, water quality deteriorates due to trace amounts of harmful substances contained in domestic wastewater and corporate wastewater, as well as pesticides that flow into rivers from fields and other fields. The bad smell generated by the rot of sludge deposited and deposited threatens the living environment of the local residents. In addition, adverse effects on ecosystems caused by turbidity of trace toxic substances have an effect that cannot be ignored in human society through the biological chain and food chain.

  It is no exaggeration to say that improvement of the water environment is a mission imposed on us living in the present age. Therefore, various methods for improving the water environment have been proposed and put into practice. However, the reality is that we have not been able to achieve satisfactory results regardless of the method used.

By the way, in recent years, attention has been focused on functional water (active water) having a function of activating water to be treated, and various functional waters have been developed. Moreover, the use development is also performed actively, for example, in the following patent document 1, the method of purifying rivers and lakes using the functional water prepared using far-infrared ceramics is proposed. However, this method has a problem that it is difficult to apply to purification of a large amount of water such as seawater or river water.

  Then, this invention aims at providing the manufacturing method of the novel functional water excellent in the improvement effect (purification promotion effect | action) of water environments including purification | cleaning of seawater, river water, and sewage.

The method for producing functional water of the present invention made in view of the above points, as described in claim 1, by mixing and stirring each pulverized product of dolomite, quicklime and natural zeolite with water, at least magnesium as a mineral component. A mineral eluate is prepared by eluting calcium and silicon into water, and the obtained mineral eluate is introduced into a ceramic particle filling tank fired at 1200 ° C. or higher and mixed and stirred.
Moreover, the functional water of this invention is manufactured by the manufacturing method of Claim 1 as described in Claim 2. It is characterized by the above-mentioned.
The water environment improving method of the present invention is characterized in that, as described in claim 3, functional water according to claim 2 is dropped into the water to be treated.

  ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the manufacturing method of the novel functional water excellent in the improvement effect (purification promotion effect | action) of water environment including purification of seawater, river water, and sewage is provided.

  In the method for producing functional water of the present invention, first, each pulverized product of dolomite, quicklime, and natural zeolite is mixed with water and stirred to elute at least magnesium, calcium, and silicon as mineral components into the water. To prepare.

Dolomite (dolomite and dolomite) used as a raw material only needs to have magnesium carbonate as a main component. Quick lime should just be a thing which has calcium oxide as a main component. Examples of the natural zeolite include those having a chemical composition represented by Na ₂ Al ₂ Si ₂ O ₈ .4.5H ₂ O.

  When dolomite, quicklime and natural zeolite are pulverized as much as possible and mixed with water, they contain mineral components, specifically, at least magnesium from dolomite, calcium from quicklime, and silicon from natural zeolite. It is desirable to use it so that it is sufficiently eluted in water.

  Each pulverized product of dolomite, quicklime and natural zeolite is used in a weight ratio of 0.7 to 1.3 parts by weight of quicklime and 0.2 to 0.5 parts by weight of natural zeolite with respect to 1 part by weight of dolomite. It is desirable.

  Any water may be used for eluting at least magnesium, calcium, and silicon as mineral components, but it is desirable to use water that does not contain trace components such as chlorine other than mineral components as much as possible, such as groundwater. When tap water is used, chlorine should be removed sufficiently.

  The mixing and stirring of dolomite, quicklime, pulverized natural zeolite, and water is preferably performed, for example, for one week to one month. After stirring and mixing, the mixture is allowed to stand and the supernatant can be used as a mineral eluate. When each pulverized product of dolomite, quicklime and natural zeolite is added to water, it is desirable to add the pulverized product of quicklime in small amounts after adding other pulverized products. This is for suppressing a large amount of hydrogen gas generated by a rapid chemical reaction between quicklime and water.

  A mineral eluate containing at least magnesium, calcium and silicon as the mineral components obtained as described above is introduced into a ceramic particle filling tank fired at 1200 ° C. or higher and mixed and stirred.

  Examples of the ceramic particles fired at 1200 ° C. or higher include high-density polycrystals obtained by firing a powder of ore containing silicon or aluminum oxide into a spherical shape.

  A mineral eluate containing at least magnesium, calcium, and silicon as mineral components is activated by mixing and stirring with ceramic grains to become functional water. The mixing and stirring of the mineral eluate and the ceramic particles is desirably performed, for example, for one week to one month. The mineral eluate can be activated sufficiently even with one mixing and stirring. However, the mineral eluate is circulated and introduced into the packed bed of ceramic particles, so that it becomes more active by repeatedly mixing and stirring with the ceramic particles. And functional water.

  The functional water produced in this manner has a pH of 6 to 8, and has a cluster effect smaller than that of normal water and an excellent water environment improvement effect due to the action of hydrogen energy.

The following are mentioned as a concrete usage method of this functional water.
1. The dripping method is suitable for, for example, processing of seawater, river water, effluent water, appreciation ponds, water in a purification device, and the like.
2. The spraying method is suitable for use in, for example, plant cultivation sites and odor sites.
3. The cleaning method is effective when used as cleaning water in, for example, a foul odor site or a building underground darkroom.
4). The injection method is suitable, for example, for softening and decomposing sludge on the bottom of harbors, rivers, and lakes, and soil improvement.
5). The circulation method is, for example, a method in which seawater is sucked up and functional water is poured into seawater in a treatment tank, and seawater having a purification function is returned to the sea as discharged water, and is suitable for large-scale treatment.

  This functional water can give its self-purifying action by changing its properties and increasing the energy of the water to be treated, penetrates into sludge and efficiently softens and decomposes it, It can decompose chlorine compounds. In addition, by promoting the activity of aerobic environmental microorganisms, it is possible to promote the decomposition of organic matter and reduce malodors. As a result, this functional water can comprehensively purify the water quality by creating a situation sufficient to improve the water environment. Calcium contained as a mineral component in functional water functions to improve water quality, magnesium functions to improve soil, etc., and silicon functions to restore normal ecosystems. In summary, this functional water is called an aquatic planet, which can return the neutrality of harbors, estuaries, rivers, drainage channels, etc., in urban areas that are in an acidic state, bringing an optimal environment for the ecosystem. It is useful for us to regain the original shape of the earth.

  This functional water exhibits an excellent effect on living bodies. Specifically, since it has lysozyme activity, it is expected to have an effect of facilitating the decomposition and excretion of pus mucus, an anti-hemorrhage-induced bleeding suppression effect, and an action of promoting tissue repair during inflammation. In addition, it is expected to have a fibroblast proliferation promoting effect, a wound healing promoting effect, a connective woven fiber formation promoting effect, an anti-inflammatory effect, and the like, and has the potential to be a therapeutic agent for skin diseases such as eczema.
