Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide mineral water abundantly containing mineral components originating from the ocean and the land, effective for promotion of health and improved in taste. <P>SOLUTION: Mineral water 12 is prepared using ocean deep layer water 1 originating from seawater and natural ground water 2 collected from a mountain district as a raw water. When the ocean deep layer water 1 is subjected to desalting treatment 3 based on a reverse osmotic method, concentrated seawater 5 and desalted treated water 4 are obtained. Since a supersaturated concentrated seawater 7 in which a salt is precipitated is obtained when moisture evaporation treatment 6 is next applied to the concentrated seawater 5, the precipitated salt 9 in a supersaturated concentrated seawater 7 is separated by applying a precipitating salt separation treatment 8 to the supersaturated concentrated seawater 7 to form a concentrated mineral liquid 10. The concentrated mineral liquid 10 and the natural ground water 2 are mixed in a predetermined mixing ratio in a mixing region to form mineral water 12. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to mineral water made from water collected from nature.

  In recent years, interest in the quality of tap water has increased, and the demand for water used in place of water purifiers or tap water for purifying tap water in general households has increased. In addition, the demand for deep ocean water and natural water is also increasing as health consciousness increases. In response to this situation, various types of water have been produced, but as related to this application, low hardness land-based natural water collected on land and high hardness using deep ocean water as a raw material. There is a hardness-adjusted natural water composed of natural seawater (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

  This hardness-adjusted natural water uses mineral water collected from the ground as terrestrial natural water, and uses concentrated mineral water or concentrated salt water separated from deep ocean water through concentrated deep water as marine natural water. Is adjusted to 20-1500. In addition to terrestrial natural water, this hardness-adjusted natural water uses marine natural water that contains almost all minerals necessary for the human body, so it is difficult to replenish minerals that are difficult to replenish. It is beneficial to.

Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2005-87894

  In the case of hardness-adjusted natural water described in Patent Document 1, marine natural water, which is one of its constituent components, is obtained by separating deep sea water into fresh water and concentrated deep water by a multistage electrodialysis method, and then concentrating the deep water. Concentrated mineral water and concentrated salt water separated from water are used. For this reason, the mineral balance maintained favorable in seawater will collapse.

  The problems to be solved by the present invention include abundant mineral components from the ocean and land in a well-balanced manner, are effective for health promotion, have a good flavor, and can easily supply minerals that humans tend to lack Is to provide fresh mineral water.

  The mineral water of the present invention includes a concentrated mineral solution produced by separating salt from concentrated seawater obtained by desalinating seawater by a reverse osmosis method, and natural water. Here, natural water means any fresh water collected from land areas such as groundwater and spring water.

  With this configuration, in addition to nutrient salts such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, nitrogen and phosphorus contained in natural water such as groundwater and spring water derived from land and concentrated mineral liquids derived from the ocean, selenium, zinc and manganese It becomes mineral water rich in mineral components, containing trace elements such as iodine in a well-balanced manner. Moreover, since the concentrated mineral liquid produced | generated from the concentrated seawater isolate | separated by the reverse osmosis method has a high amount of residual ions, it is effective for enrichment of a mineral component. In addition, the reverse osmosis method can separate solute and water at room temperature without phase change, so that the flavor does not deteriorate and yeast and fungi can be removed, which is effective for health promotion. Yes, the flavor is good.

  Here, the concentrated mineral liquid is preferably produced by separating the precipitated salt deposited on the supersaturated concentrated seawater obtained by evaporating the water of the concentrated seawater. If it is set as such a structure, since it can be set as the concentrated mineral liquid which contained the mineral component in concentrated seawater without leaving, loss of a mineral component can be prevented.

  In addition, the seawater is from an intake channel provided with an excavation hole excavated from a land surface on the coastal inland side to a bedrock of a depth of 200 m or less, and a pump pipe inserted into the excavation hole to a depth at which groundwater does not leach. It is desirable to include one or more of pumped seawater, seawater collected directly from the ocean, and deep seawater. When such seawater or deep sea water is used, the mineral water contained in the seawater is rich and well-balanced. In this case, in particular, the seawater pumped from the intake channel is filtered using the bedrock as a filter medium, so harmful substances such as bacteria and agricultural chemicals or suspended solids are removed and diluted with groundwater (fresh water). Since the water quality is stable, the quality of mineral water can be stabilized and cleaned.

  On the other hand, the electrical conductivity of the mineral water is preferably 50 μS / cm to 350 μS / cm. Water with such conductivity has a relatively large amount of dissolved ions, and it has a high content of trace elements such as selenium, zinc, manganese and iodine in addition to nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, nitrogen and phosphorus. Mineral water containing abundant and balanced ingredients.

  Furthermore, the mixing ratio of the concentrated mineral liquid and natural water is preferably 1: 100000 to 5: 1000 in volume ratio. With such a mixing ratio, it becomes a mineral water that can efficiently supply a mineral that is one of the five major nutrients (carbohydrate, protein, lipid, vitamin, mineral) required by humans.

  INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY According to the present invention, it is possible to obtain mineral water that is rich in mineral components originating from the ocean and land and is effective for health promotion and has a good flavor.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a process diagram illustrating a method for producing mineral water according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating a method for collecting deep ocean water as a raw material for mineral water according to an embodiment of the present invention. .

  As shown in FIG. 1, the mineral water 12 of this embodiment uses the deep sea water 1 originating from seawater and natural groundwater 2 collected from a mountainous area as raw materials. That is, the mineral water 12 can be obtained by mixing the concentrated mineral liquid 10 obtained by performing the process described later on the deep ocean water 1 and the natural groundwater 2 at a predetermined mixing ratio.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the deep sea water 1 that is one of the raw materials includes a drilling hole 23 excavated from an inland surface 21 on the coast of the ocean 20 to a rock 22 having a depth of 1200 m, and a surrounding ground 24. The water is pumped from an intake channel 26 having a pumping pipe 25 inserted into the excavation hole 23 to a depth at which groundwater does not leach out. On the other hand, the natural groundwater 2 is natural water collected from a mountainous area, but may be either pumped water or spring water.

  Here, the manufacturing process of the mineral water 12 is demonstrated, referring FIG. When the deep sea water 1 obtained through the intake channel 26 as shown in FIG. 2 is subjected to a desalination treatment 3 based on the reverse osmosis method, concentrated seawater 5 and fresh water 4 are obtained. Next, when the water evaporation process 6 is performed by heating the concentrated seawater 5, the supersaturated concentrated seawater 7 in which the salt is deposited is obtained, so that the precipitated salt separation process 8 is performed on this to precipitate in the supersaturated concentrated seawater 7. When the salt 9 is separated, a concentrated mineral liquid 10 is formed. The components and content of the concentrated mineral liquid 10 are as follows.

Calcium 10mg / l-100mg / l
Magnesium 40000 mg / l to 80000 mg / l
Potassium 5000 mg / l to 30000 mg / l
Sodium 10,000 mg / l to 60000 mg / l
Selenium 0mg / l-0.1mg / l
Zinc 0 mg / l to 0.5 mg / l
Manganese 0mg / l-5mg / l
Iodine 0mg / l-30mg / l

  When the concentrated mineral liquid 10 thus formed and the natural groundwater 2 are mixed 11 in a volume ratio of, for example, 1: 5000, mineral water 12 is formed. The components and content of this mineral water 12 are generally as shown below. In addition, since this is an example and it does not limit to this composition, it can change by changing the mixing ratio of the concentrated mineral liquid 10 and the natural groundwater 2 as needed.

Calcium 0mg / l-100mg / l
Magnesium 1mg / l-100mg / l
Potassium 5mg / l-30mg / l
Sodium 5mg / l-180mg / l
Selenium 0 mg / l to 0.005 mg / l
Zinc 0 mg / l to 0.09 mg / l
Manganese 0mg / l-0.04mg / l
Iodine 0mg / l-3mg / l
Iron 0mg / l-0.3mg / l

  The mineral water 12 formed through the processes as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 includes calcium, magnesium, potassium, nitrogen, phosphorus, etc. contained in the natural groundwater 2 derived from land and the deep seawater 1 derived from the ocean. In addition to nutrient salts, the mineral water 12 is rich in mineral components and contains trace elements such as selenium, zinc, manganese and iodine in a well-balanced manner. Moreover, since the concentrated mineral liquid 10 produced | generated from the concentrated seawater 5 isolate | separated by the desalination process 3 based on a reverse osmosis method has a high residual ion amount, it is effective for enrichment of a mineral component. Furthermore, the reverse osmosis method can separate solute and water without causing a phase change at room temperature, and does not deteriorate the flavor of the water after separation, and can also remove yeast and fungi. Therefore, the mineral water 12 is effective for health promotion and has a good flavor.

  Here, the concentrated mineral liquid 10 is produced by separating the precipitated salt 9 deposited on the supersaturated concentrated seawater 7 obtained by evaporating the water of the concentrated seawater 5. Therefore, it can be set as the concentrated mineral liquid 10 which contains the mineral component in the concentrated seawater 5 without leaving, and the loss of a mineral component is very small.

  Further, the deep sea water 1 (seawater) as a raw material is inserted into the excavation hole 23 excavated from the land surface 21 on the coastal inland side to the rock 22 having a depth of 1200 m and to a depth at which the groundwater does not leach. The water is pumped from a water intake passage 26 provided with a water pumping pipe 25. Therefore, the deep ocean water 1 is filtered with the bedrock 22 as a filter medium to remove harmful substances such as bacteria and agricultural chemicals or suspended solids, and is not diluted with groundwater, so the water quality is stable. It is effective for stabilizing and cleaning the quality of the mineral water 12.

  In addition, although the electrical conductivity of the mineral water 12 of this embodiment is approximately 50 μS / cm to 350 μS / cm, the mineral water 12 having such an electrical conductivity has a relatively large amount of dissolved ions, and calcium, magnesium, potassium, In addition to nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus, it has a high content of trace elements such as selenium, zinc, manganese and iodine, so it contains abundant minerals in a well-balanced manner.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, when the mixing ratio of the concentrated mineral liquid 10 and the natural groundwater 2 is 1: 5000 in volume ratio, the mineral balance is good, the average is delicious, and the mineral water 12 is easy to drink. I was able to get it.
