Description

本発明は、原料水に外的刺激を加え原料水の構造のみを制御することによって改質した抗酸化作用を有する改質水及びそれを含有する抗酸化ストレス剤、細胞増殖促進剤並びに活力増強剤に関する。   The present invention relates to a modified water having an anti-oxidation effect which is modified by applying an external stimulus to the raw material water and controlling only the structure of the raw material water, an antioxidant stress agent containing the same, a cell growth promoter and a vitality enhancement. It relates to the agent.

近年、活性酸素が、老化,ガン,糖尿病,動脈硬化症,肝炎,腎炎,アトピー性皮膚炎など様々な疾病の原因になっていることが明らかになってきつつある。また、大気,土壌及び水の汚染が活性酸素の発生率を高め、健康障害を起こしていると懸念されている。
活性酸素は、体内に吸い込んだ酸素を利用してエネルギーを生み出す過程で生成すると言われており、生体防御では重要な働きをしている。一方で過剰な活性酸素は、老化,動脈硬化,脳卒中,心筋梗塞,ガンといった疾病の原因になると言われており、生体に有害な作用を及ぼすことが最近の研究で明らかにされつつある。このように、酸化ストレスは様々な疾病の進展、発症、増悪に関与していることが明らかになってきている。
このような酸化ストレスを抑制するものとして、赤ワインやお茶に含まれるポリフェノール、あるいはビタミンCなどが知られている。これらは抗酸化作用を有しているため、老化予防,動脈硬化の予防,免疫力を高める,肝臓機能低下の予防といった作用があり、医療、保健、健康などの分野に応用されている。
In recent years, it has become clear that active oxygen is responsible for various diseases such as aging, cancer, diabetes, arteriosclerosis, hepatitis, nephritis, and atopic dermatitis. There is also concern that air, soil and water contamination will increase the rate of active oxygen generation and cause health problems.
Active oxygen is said to be generated in the process of generating energy using oxygen inhaled into the body, and plays an important role in biological defense. On the other hand, excessive active oxygen is said to cause diseases such as aging, arteriosclerosis, stroke, myocardial infarction, and cancer, and recent studies have revealed that it has harmful effects on living bodies. Thus, it has become clear that oxidative stress is involved in the development, onset and exacerbation of various diseases.
As a material for suppressing such oxidative stress, polyphenols or vitamin C contained in red wine or tea are known. Since these have an antioxidant action, they have effects such as prevention of aging, prevention of arteriosclerosis, enhancement of immunity, and prevention of liver function decline, and they are applied in fields such as medical treatment, health care and health.

また、このような酸化ストレスを抑制するものとして、抗酸化機能を付与した飲料水の開発が行われている。水は生体膜や脳血液関門も透過する唯一の物質であり、しかも、人体の約70%を占めており人間の生命活動の源であるといっても過言ではないため、抗酸化能を付与できれば、効率よく人体に作用させることができ、かつ人体には負荷が少なく、ひいては地球環境に負荷をかけることがないからである。
従来、水に抗酸化機能を付与する技術として、例えば以下の様なものが知られている。
(特許文献1)には、「原水に水素をバブリングや加圧充填して溶存させて水素溶存水を製造する過程で、又は、水の電気分解によって水素溶存水を製造する過程で、PtやPdコロイドなどの触媒を作用させる水処理方法及び抗酸化水」が開示されている。
(特許文献2)には、「常温常圧下でpHが6.5〜9であり、酸化還元電位が−900〜−150mVである中性還元水からなる抗酸化性水」が開示されている。
(特許文献3)には、「二酸化炭素等を溶解させた酸性水にドロマイト等を溶解し、これを電解法より得られたアルカリ還元水で希釈することにより抗酸化性の機能を有するミネラル水を調製する製造法」が開示されている。

Moreover, the development of the drinking water which gave the antioxidant function as what suppresses such oxidative stress is performed. Water is the only substance that penetrates biological membranes and the brain-blood barrier, and it occupies about 70% of the human body. This is because, if possible, it can be efficiently applied to the human body, and the human body has a low load, and thus does not load the global environment.
Conventionally, for example, the following techniques are known as techniques for imparting an antioxidant function to water.
(Patent Document 1) states that “in the process of producing hydrogen-dissolved water by bubbling or pressurizing and filling hydrogen into raw water to produce hydrogen-dissolved water, or in the process of producing hydrogen-dissolved water by electrolysis of water, A water treatment method and antioxidant water using a catalyst such as Pd colloid is disclosed.
(Patent Document 2) discloses “antioxidant water composed of neutral reduced water having a pH of 6.5 to 9 and an oxidation-reduction potential of −900 to −150 mV under normal temperature and normal pressure”. .
(Patent Document 3) states that “mineral water having an antioxidative function by dissolving dolomite or the like in acidic water in which carbon dioxide or the like is dissolved, and diluting this with alkaline reduced water obtained by an electrolytic method. Is disclosed.
WO2003 / 002466 JP 2005-40765 A JP 2004-89797 A

しかしながら上記従来の技術においては、以下のような課題を有していた。
(1)特許文献1乃至3に開示の技術は、原水を電気分解したり原水に水素ガスを溶解したりすることによって水に抗酸化機能を付与するものであるため、水の電気分解等による改質処理のために電気エネルギー等を要し、省エネルギー性に欠けるという課題を有していた。
(2)水の電解処理によって製造された還元水がアルカリ性を有していたり、低い酸化還元電位を有していると、個人差はあるが、飲用した場合に血中のカリウム濃度を上昇させたり便秘や下痢症状を呈したりすることがあり、人体に負担をかけることがあるという課題を有していた。
However, the above conventional techniques have the following problems.
(1) The techniques disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 3 provide water with an antioxidant function by electrolyzing raw water or dissolving hydrogen gas in raw water. Electricity etc. were required for the reforming treatment, and there was a problem of lack of energy saving.
(2) If the reduced water produced by the electrolytic treatment of water has alkalinity or has a low redox potential, there will be individual differences, but if you drink it, it will increase the potassium concentration in the blood. It may cause constipation and diarrhea, and may cause a burden on the human body.

本発明は、上記従来の課題を解決するもので、水の構造を変化させて抗酸化性を付与し、改質水を摂取した人体が負担を受けることなく、線維芽細胞等の動物由来の細胞に対する酸化ストレスの抑制、線維芽細胞等の動物由来の細胞に対する増殖促進作用、植物や魚介類等の鮮度の保持や活力増強、動物の整腸効果といった特異的な効果が得られ、また水の電気分解等による改質処理のような多大なエネルギーを必要とせず、省エネルギー性に優れた改質水を提供することを目的とする。
また本発明は、線維芽細胞などの動物由来の細胞に対し非常に強い抗酸化作用を有し、酸化ストレスが関与する疾患の症例に対して抑制的に作用し優れた抗酸化ストレス作用を有する抗酸化ストレス剤を提供することを目的とする。
また本発明は、線維芽細胞等の動物由来の細胞に対する優れた増殖促進作用を有し、創傷治癒の促進等に優れた細胞増殖促進剤を提供することを目的とする。
また本発明は、植物や魚介類等に対して高い鮮度保持性を有し、淡水・海水魚等の魚介類の飼育、養殖などに使用することによって魚介類の生理活性及び免疫力増強をも期待できる活力増強剤を提供することを目的とする。
The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional problems, imparts antioxidant properties by changing the structure of water, and is derived from animals such as fibroblasts without burdening the human body ingesting the modified water. Specific effects such as suppression of oxidative stress to cells, promotion of growth of cells derived from animals such as fibroblasts, maintenance of freshness and vitality of plants and seafood, and animal intestinal effects are obtained. An object of the present invention is to provide reformed water that does not require a large amount of energy as in the reforming process by electrolysis or the like and is excellent in energy saving.
In addition, the present invention has a very strong antioxidant action on animal-derived cells such as fibroblasts, and has an excellent antioxidant stress action in a suppressive action on cases of diseases involving oxidative stress. An object is to provide an antioxidant stress agent.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a cell growth promoter having an excellent growth promoting action on animal-derived cells such as fibroblasts and excellent in promoting wound healing.
In addition, the present invention has high freshness retention for plants, seafood and the like, and enhances the physiological activity and immunity of seafood by using it for breeding and aquaculture of seafood such as freshwater and saltwater fish. It aims at providing the vitality enhancer which can be anticipated.

上記従来の課題を解決するために本発明の改質水及びそれを含有する抗酸化ストレス剤、細胞増殖促進剤並びに活力増強剤は、以下の構成を有している。
本発明の請求項1に記載の改質水は、原料水に外的刺激が加えられて改質された改質水であって、重クロロホルム中、内部基準にテトラメチルシランを使用して測定したH−核磁気共鳴スペクトル(400MHz)が、次の(a)乃至(d)の内いずれか1以上である構成を有している。
(a)主吸収ピークより低磁場側に、前記原料水には存在しなかった吸収ピークが出現したスペクトル
(b)前記原料水の主吸収ピークより高磁場側に存在した少なくとも一つの吸収ピークが消失したスペクトル
(c)前記原料水の主吸収ピークより高磁場側に存在した少なくとも一つの吸収ピークが低磁場側にシフトしたスペクトル
(d)主吸収ピークの半値幅が、前記原料水の主吸収ピークの半値幅より増大したスペクトル
この構成により、以下のような作用が得られる。
(1)本発明者らは、H−核磁気共鳴スペクトル(400MHz)に現れるように構造を変化させた水が抗酸化性を発現し、線維芽細胞等の動物由来の細胞に対する酸化ストレスの抑制、線維芽細胞等の動物由来の細胞に対する増殖促進作用、植物や魚介類等の活力増強、動物の整腸効果といった特異的な効果が得られることを見出し、本発明を完成させた。H−核磁気共鳴スペクトル(400MHz)の主吸収ピークより低磁場側に原料水には存在しなかった吸収ピークが出現したり、主吸収ピークの半値幅が原料水の主吸収ピークの半値幅より増大したことは、プロトンの数が増えたことを示している。これは水素結合性が強くなった、又は水素結合数が多くなった状態であり、強固で大きな水分子集団が形成され水分子が構造化された結果であると推察される。このような性質の改質水が酸化剤を取り囲めば、酸化剤が他の物質から電子を奪って酸化させる酸化反応を抑制することができ、改質水は抗酸化性を発現する。
(2)原料水の主吸収ピークより高磁場側に存在した吸収ピークが低磁場側にシフトしたり消失したりすることは、電子が水素の原子核を遮蔽する度合が原料水より改質水のほうが小さくなっており、水素の原子核の回りの電子密度が減少していることを示している。このため強固で大きな水分子集団が形成され易くなるので、このような性質の改質水が酸化剤を取り囲めば、酸化剤が他の物質から電子を奪って酸化させる酸化反応を抑制することができ、改質水は抗酸化性を発現する。
(3)水の構造を変化させて抗酸化性を付与しているので、改質水を摂取した人体が負担を受けることなく、線維芽細胞等の動物由来の細胞に対する酸化ストレスの抑制、線維芽細胞等の動物由来の細胞に対する増殖促進作用、植物や魚介類等の活力増強や鮮度の保持、動物の整腸効果といった特異的な効果を得ることができる。
(4)原料水に外的刺激が加えられて改質されているので、水の電気分解等による改質処理のような多大なエネルギーを必要とせず、省エネルギー性に優れる。
In order to solve the above conventional problems, the modified water of the present invention and the antioxidant stress agent, cell growth promoter and vitality enhancer containing the same have the following constitutions.
The reformed water according to claim 1 of the present invention is a reformed water that has been reformed by applying an external stimulus to the raw water, and is measured using tetramethylsilane as an internal standard in deuterated chloroform. The 1 H-nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum (400 MHz) is one or more of the following (a) to (d).
(A) Spectrum in which an absorption peak that did not exist in the raw material water appears on the lower magnetic field side than the main absorption peak (b) At least one absorption peak present on the higher magnetic field side than the main absorption peak of the raw material water Disappeared spectrum (c) Spectrum in which at least one absorption peak present on the higher magnetic field side than the main absorption peak of the raw material water is shifted to the lower magnetic field side (d) The half width of the main absorption peak is the main absorption of the raw water The spectrum increased beyond the half-width of the peak. With this configuration, the following effects can be obtained.
(1) The present inventors show that the water whose structure has been changed so as to appear in the 1 H-nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum (400 MHz) expresses antioxidative properties, and exhibits oxidative stress on animal-derived cells such as fibroblasts. It has been found that specific effects such as suppression, growth promoting action on animal-derived cells such as fibroblasts, enhancement of vitality of plants and fish and shellfish, etc., and intestinal regulation of animals can be obtained, and the present invention has been completed. An absorption peak that did not exist in the raw water appears on the lower magnetic field side than the main absorption peak of 1 H-nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum (400 MHz), or the half width of the main absorption peak is the half width of the main absorption peak of the raw water. More increase indicates an increase in the number of protons. This is a state in which the hydrogen bondability is increased or the number of hydrogen bonds is increased, and it is presumed that this is a result of forming a strong and large water molecule group and structuring the water molecules. If the modified water having such a property surrounds the oxidizing agent, it is possible to suppress an oxidation reaction in which the oxidizing agent takes electrons from other substances and oxidizes, and the modified water exhibits antioxidant properties.
(2) The absorption peak existing on the high magnetic field side from the main absorption peak of the raw material water is shifted to the low magnetic field side or disappears. The degree to which electrons shield the hydrogen nuclei is higher than that of the raw water. Is smaller, indicating that the electron density around the hydrogen nucleus is decreasing. For this reason, a strong and large water molecule group is likely to be formed, so if the modified water having such properties surrounds the oxidant, the oxidant suppresses the oxidation reaction that oxidizes by taking electrons from other substances. The modified water exhibits antioxidant properties.
(3) Since the structure of water is changed to impart antioxidant properties, the human body ingesting the modified water is not burdened, suppressing oxidative stress on animal-derived cells such as fibroblasts, fibers Specific effects such as a growth promoting action on animal-derived cells such as blast cells, enhancement of vitality of plants and fish and shellfishes, maintenance of freshness, and an intestinal effect of animals can be obtained.
(4) Since the raw material water is reformed by applying external stimulus, it does not require a large amount of energy as in the reforming process by water electrolysis and the like, and is excellent in energy saving.

ここで、原料水としては、改質水の用途に応じて、水道水,イオン交換水,蒸留水,工業用水,雨水,地下水,河川水,生活排水,産業排水,海水及びそれら由来の水から選択された少なくとも1種が用いられる。
飲料水として用いられるときは、水道水や地下水等が好適に用いられる。点滴,注射,透析,創傷治癒等の医療用や化粧料として用いられるときは、イオン交換水や蒸留水等が好適に用いられる。動物や植物の活力増強剤として用いられるときは、動物や植物の種類に応じて、工業用水,雨水,河川水,生活排水,産業排水,海水等が好適に用いられる。必要に応じ、濾過や浄化等を行った後、用いることもできる。
Here, as raw material water, tap water, ion exchange water, distilled water, industrial water, rainwater, groundwater, river water, domestic wastewater, industrial wastewater, seawater and water derived from them, depending on the use of reformed water At least one selected is used.
When used as drinking water, tap water or groundwater is preferably used. When used for medical purposes such as infusion, injection, dialysis, wound healing, and cosmetics, ion-exchanged water or distilled water is preferably used. When used as a vitality enhancer for animals and plants, industrial water, rainwater, river water, domestic wastewater, industrial wastewater, seawater and the like are suitably used depending on the type of animal or plant. If necessary, it can be used after filtration or purification.

原料水に加えられる外的刺激としては、例えば、原料水中でセラミック粒子を流動させ衝突させる処理、磁場処理、原料水に高圧の静電場を作用させる電場処理、赤外線処理、紫外線処理などを用いることができ、原料水に他の成分を溶解させたり、直流電圧や交流電圧を印加して原料水から還元水を得る処理方法でなければ、特に制限を受けるものではない。   As an external stimulus applied to the raw material water, for example, a treatment that causes ceramic particles to flow and collide in the raw water, a magnetic field treatment, an electric field treatment that causes a high-voltage electrostatic field to act on the raw water, an infrared treatment, an ultraviolet treatment, etc. There is no particular limitation as long as it is not a treatment method in which other components are dissolved in the raw water or a reduced voltage is obtained from the raw water by applying a DC voltage or an AC voltage.

H−核磁気共鳴スペクトルの測定条件としては、測定温度は25℃〜30℃であればいずれの温度を選択しても構わない。測定モード;single pulse、パルス幅;5.6μs(45°)、パルス待時間;5.0sec、積算回数;8回以上、ケミカルシフト;基準物質として、テトラメチルシランを少量添加した重クロロホルム溶液を2重管外側に用い、テトラメチルシランのプロトンシグナルを基準ピーク(0ppm) とし、相対的位置で表す。内部管に測定水を導入する。測定装置は400MHzで測定できる機器であればメーカーは問わない。例えば、JEOL製JNM−ECA400が用いられる。 As measurement conditions for the 1 H-nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum, any temperature may be selected as long as the measurement temperature is 25 ° C. to 30 ° C. Measurement mode: single pulse, pulse width: 5.6 μs (45 °), pulse waiting time: 5.0 sec, integration count: 8 times or more, chemical shift; deuterated chloroform solution with a small amount of tetramethylsilane added as a reference substance Used on the outside of the double tube, the proton signal of tetramethylsilane is taken as the reference peak (0 ppm) and expressed in relative position. Introduce measurement water into the inner pipe. Any manufacturer can be used as long as the measuring device can measure at 400 MHz. For example, JNM-JNM-ECA400 is used.

H−核磁気共鳴スペクトル(400MHz)が、前記(a)〜(d)のスペクトルの内いずれか1以上を有していればよいが、特に、前記(a)又は(d)のスペクトルであることが好ましい。前記(a)又は(d)のスペクトルが現れるのは、改質水の水素結合性が強くなった、又は水素結合数が多くなった状態であると推察されるため、このようなスペクトルを有する水分子が酸化剤を取り囲むことにより、酸化剤の働きが弱められ抗酸化性を付与できると推察されるからである。 The 1 H-nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum (400 MHz) may have any one or more of the spectra (a) to (d), and in particular, the spectrum (a) or (d). Preferably there is. The spectrum of (a) or (d) appears because the hydrogen bondability of the reformed water has been increased or the number of hydrogen bonds has been increased. This is because it is presumed that the water molecule surrounds the oxidizing agent, thereby reducing the function of the oxidizing agent and imparting antioxidant properties.

また、H−パルス核磁気共鳴のCPMG法における改質水のスピン−スピン緩和時間(T)が、原料水のスピン−スピン緩和時間(T)に対して5〜40%好ましくは7〜30%短縮されているのが好ましい。スピン−スピン緩和時間(T)が短縮したことは、強固で大きな水分子集団が形成されたことを示していると推察されるため、このような性質の改質水が酸化剤を取り囲めば、酸化剤による酸化反応を抑制することができ抗酸化性を発現するからである。
なお、スピン−スピン緩和時間(T)の短縮率(原料水の緩和時間をTa、改質水の緩和時間をTbとしたときの(Ta−Tb)/Taを短縮率とする)が7%より小さくなるにつれ、原料水が十分改質されておらず抗酸化性が乏しくなる傾向がみられ、30%を超えるにつれ長時間の改質処理時間や改質操作を要し改質水の処理効率が低下する傾向がみられる。特に、5%未満になるか40%を超えると、これらの傾向が著しいためいずれも好ましくない。
Further, 1 H- reforming water of the spin in the CPMG method of pulse nuclear magnetic resonance - spin relaxation time (T 2) is, the raw water spin - 5-40% preferably relative spin relaxation time (T 2) 7 Preferably it is shortened by ~ 30%. Since the reduction in the spin-spin relaxation time (T 2 ) is presumed to indicate that a strong and large water molecule group has been formed, the modified water having such a property surrounds the oxidant. This is because the oxidation reaction by the oxidizing agent can be suppressed and the antioxidant property is expressed.
The shortening rate of the spin-spin relaxation time (T 2 ) (when the relaxation time of the raw material water is Ta and the relaxation time of the reforming water is Tb, (Ta−Tb) / Ta is the shortening rate) is 7. As the water content becomes smaller than 30%, the raw material water is not sufficiently reformed and there is a tendency for the antioxidant property to be poor. There is a tendency for processing efficiency to decrease. In particular, if it is less than 5% or exceeds 40%, these tendencies are remarkable, and none of them is preferable.

H−パルス核磁気共鳴の測定条件としては、測定温度は20〜30℃であればいずれの温度を選択しても構わない。観測周波数;25MHz、測定モード;CPMG法(Carr-Purcell Meiboom-Gill method)、パルス幅;Pw1…2.1μs,Pw2…4.0μs、パルス待時間;15秒、積算回数;4回、Loop(RFパルスを連続して発生させるときの回数);500回とした。測定装置としてはパルス核磁気共鳴装置、例えばJEOL製JNM−MU25Aが用いられる。 As measurement conditions for 1 H-pulse nuclear magnetic resonance, any temperature may be selected as long as the measurement temperature is 20 to 30 ° C. Observation frequency: 25 MHz, measurement mode: CPMG method (Carr-Purcell Meiboom-Gill method), pulse width: Pw1... 2.1 .mu.s, Pw2... 4.0 .mu.s, pulse waiting time: 15 seconds, integration count: 4 times, Loop ( The number of times when RF pulses are continuously generated): 500 times. As the measuring apparatus, a pulse nuclear magnetic resonance apparatus, for example, JNM-MU25A manufactured by JEOL is used.

本発明の請求項2に記載の発明は、請求項1に記載の改質水であって、前記原料水に加えられた前記外的刺激が、複数のセラミック粒子を前記原料水の中で流動させ衝突させる構成を有している。
この構成により、請求項1で得られる作用に加え、以下のような作用が得られる。
(1)はっきりとした理由は不明であるが、複数のセラミック粒子を原料水の中で流動させ衝突させることで水を活性化し改質することができるので、電解処理のような多大なエネルギーが不要であり、またセラミック粒子は繰り返し使用できるので、改質水の製造コストを抑えることができ改質水の生産性に優れる。
The invention according to claim 2 of the present invention is the modified water according to claim 1, wherein the external stimulus applied to the raw water causes a plurality of ceramic particles to flow in the raw water. It has the structure made to make it collide.
With this configuration, in addition to the operation obtained in the first aspect, the following operation can be obtained.
(1) Although the reason is not clear, it is possible to activate and modify water by causing a plurality of ceramic particles to flow and collide with each other in raw material water. Since the ceramic particles can be used repeatedly, the production cost of the reforming water can be suppressed and the reforming water productivity is excellent.

ここで、セラミック粒子としては、シリカ、アルミナ、アルカリ金属,アルカリ土類金属等の酸化物を含有する酸化物系鉱石粉末を、粒状に造粒し焼成して製造したものが用いられる。
シリカとアルミナの割合は、シリカ100重量部に対しアルミナが10〜95重量部好ましくは20〜80重量部が好適に用いられる。アルミナが20重量部より少なくなるにつれセラミック粒子の機械的強度が低下する傾向がみられ、80重量部より多くなるにつれ、所定の機械的強度を得るのに必要な焼成温度が高くなり省エネルギー性に欠ける傾向がみられる。特に、10重量部より少なくなるか95重量部より多くなると、これらの傾向が著しくなるためいずれも好ましくない。
Here, as the ceramic particles, those produced by granulating and firing oxide-based ore powder containing oxides such as silica, alumina, alkali metal, alkaline earth metal and the like are used.
The ratio of silica to alumina is suitably 10 to 95 parts by weight, preferably 20 to 80 parts by weight, with respect to 100 parts by weight of silica. As alumina becomes less than 20 parts by weight, the mechanical strength of the ceramic particles tends to decrease, and as it becomes more than 80 parts by weight, the firing temperature necessary to obtain a predetermined mechanical strength increases, resulting in energy savings. There is a tendency to lack. In particular, when the amount is less than 10 parts by weight or more than 95 parts by weight, these tendencies become remarkable, so that neither is preferable.

また、セラミック粒子は、BET法による比表面積が0.01〜1m/g、かつ、見掛け密度が1.6〜3.5g/cm、粒径が0.1〜10mmに形成されるのが好適である。
比表面積が0.01m/gより小さくなるにつれ原料水との接触面積が減少して改質効率が低下する傾向がみられ、1m/gより大きくなるにつれセラミック粒子が脆弱になり粒子同士の衝突の際に磨耗し易く耐久性が低下する傾向がみられる。
見掛け密度が1.6g/cmより小さくなるにつれ、粒子の機械的強度が低下し粒子同士の衝突の際に磨耗したり欠けたりする傾向や、粒子同士が水中で衝突した後に沈降し難く流動し難くなる傾向がみられ、3.5g/cmより大きくなるにつれ沈降速度が速いため粒子が水中で流動し難く流動状態が低下し水の改質効果が低下する傾向がみられる。
粒径が0.1mmより小さくなるにつれ、流動するセラミック粒子の運動エネルギーが小さいためセラミック粒子が衝突した際の改質効果が低下する傾向がみられ、10mmより大きくなるにつれ、セラミック粒子を流動化させるのに必要なエネルギーが増加するとともに、粒子同士の衝突点が少なくなり粒子の衝突による改質効果が低下する傾向がみられる。
The ceramic particles are formed to have a specific surface area of 0.01 to 1 m 2 / g, an apparent density of 1.6 to 3.5 g / cm 3 , and a particle size of 0.1 to 10 mm according to the BET method. Is preferred.
As the specific surface area becomes smaller than 0.01 m 2 / g, the contact area with the raw material water tends to decrease and the reforming efficiency tends to decrease, and as the specific surface area becomes larger than 1 m 2 / g, the ceramic particles become brittle and become particles. There is a tendency for durability to deteriorate during wear.
As the apparent density becomes smaller than 1.6 g / cm 3 , the mechanical strength of the particles decreases, and the particles tend to wear or chip when they collide with each other. Since the sedimentation rate is faster as it becomes larger than 3.5 g / cm 3, the particles are less likely to flow in water, so that the flow state is lowered and the water reforming effect is lowered.
As the particle size becomes smaller than 0.1 mm, the kinetic energy of the flowing ceramic particles is small, so the modification effect when the ceramic particles collide tends to decrease. As the particle size becomes larger than 10 mm, the ceramic particles become fluidized. There is a tendency that the energy required to make the particles increase, the number of collision points between particles decreases, and the modification effect due to particle collision decreases.

次に、セラミック粒子を用いた改質水の製造方法を説明する。適量の複数のセラミック粒子をポリエチレン製,ポリエチレンテレフタレート製等の合成樹脂製,ガラス製,ステンレス製等の容器に入れ、これに処理すべき原料水をいれ、数回から多くても十数回強く振るなどして、セラミック粒子と原料水とを接触させ、またセラミック粒子を相互摩擦させ衝突させればよい。改質水は、容器から出してそのまま使用しても良いし、噴霧して用いても良い。
また、水道の元栓付近にセラミック粒子を充填した処理器を設置し、または水道蛇口開口部に該処理器を設置し、水流によってセラミック粒子を流動して相互摩擦させ衝突を起こさせ、セラミック粒子と水流界面の接触等を増やすことにより、改質水を製造することができる。処理器への水の導入方向は、原則として下方から上方へ向かう方向が望ましいが、水中で連続してセラミック粒子が流動し相互摩擦され衝突する水流環境が達成されていれば、どの方向より導入し取り出しても構わない。例えば、処理器の中にセラミック粒子を十分流動できる空所を設けて装填した上昇流動層方式、層内でセラミック粒子と原料水とを強制的に流動衝突させる強制循環方式等が用いられる。また、処理器の原料水流入部に整流板を設置したり、改質水の流出部の大きさ,形状,それらの位置を適宜選択することにより、原料水を渦流にしたり乱流にしたりするなどの方法も有効である。
Next, a method for producing reformed water using ceramic particles will be described. Put an appropriate amount of multiple ceramic particles in a polyethylene, polyethylene terephthalate or other synthetic resin, glass, or stainless steel container, and put the raw water to be processed into it. The ceramic particles and the raw water may be brought into contact with each other by shaking, and the ceramic particles may be rubbed against each other to collide with each other. The reformed water may be taken out from the container and used as it is, or may be used by spraying.
Also, a processing device filled with ceramic particles is installed near the main tap of the water supply, or the processing device is installed at the opening of the water faucet. The reformed water can be produced by increasing the contact at the water flow interface. In principle, the direction of water introduction to the processor is preferably from the bottom to the top, but from any direction as long as a water flow environment in which ceramic particles continuously flow and rub against each other in water is achieved You can take it out. For example, an ascending fluidized bed method in which a void capable of sufficiently flowing ceramic particles is provided in a processing unit, a forced circulation method in which ceramic particles and raw water are forced to collide with each other in the layer, and the like are used. In addition, the rectifying plate is installed at the raw material water inflow part of the processor, or the raw material water is made vortex or turbulent by appropriately selecting the size, shape and position of the reforming water outflow part. Such a method is also effective.

以上のようにセラミック粒子を水雰囲気下で流動、相互摩擦、衝突させることにより、溶出成分の全くないセラミック粒子と接した水は、界面動電現象により、水に正電荷を与え、その水素結合形成能や、分極性能、不対電子を持つ物質との相互作用能力、パイ電子共役系を持つ物質などとの相互作用能力等の特性が大きく変化し、又は向上する。その結果、セラミック粒子で処理された水のH−NMRスペクトルは、処理前の原料水と比較して明確な違いを生ずる。即ち、水素結合力が増加した、より構造化された改質水に変貌する。 As described above, when the ceramic particles flow, interact with each other and collide with each other in a water atmosphere, the water in contact with the ceramic particles having no elution component gives a positive charge to the water due to the electrokinetic phenomenon, and its hydrogen bonding. Characteristics such as forming ability, polarization performance, ability to interact with a substance having unpaired electrons, ability to interact with a substance having a pi-electron conjugated system, etc. are greatly changed or improved. As a result, the 1 H-NMR spectrum of water treated with ceramic particles produces a distinct difference compared to the raw water before treatment. That is, the water is transformed into a more structured reformed water having an increased hydrogen bonding force.

なお、セラミック粒子が流動する速度を0.03〜0.2m/sにすると、セラミック粒子による水の改質効果を高めることができ好ましい。流動するセラミック粒子の速度が0.03m/s未満になるか、0.2m/sより速くなると、原料水に対する核磁気共鳴スペクトルや核磁気共鳴の緩和時間の変化が小さくなり、水を活性化する効果が低下するためいずれも好ましくない。   In addition, it is preferable that the rate at which the ceramic particles flow is 0.03 to 0.2 m / s because the effect of water modification by the ceramic particles can be enhanced. When the velocity of the flowing ceramic particles is less than 0.03 m / s or faster than 0.2 m / s, the change of the nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum and the relaxation time of the nuclear magnetic resonance with respect to the raw water becomes small and the water is activated. Neither is preferable because the effect of the reduction is reduced.

This kneaded product was rotated by a pin rotary granulator for 1 to 2 hours under the condition that the centrifugal force was 10,000 G, and granulated and formed into a spherical shape while volatilizing ethanol. A pin rotary granulator is an apparatus that granulates a kneaded product into particles of a predetermined size. This granulated product was filled in a heat-resistant container, put in an electric furnace, and sintered at 1150 to 1190 ° C. in an air atmosphere or an inert gas atmosphere. The obtained sintered body was a hard spherical particle having a brown particle size and a particle size of about 3 mm, and the apparent density was 2.3 g / cm 3 . The specific surface area of the surface was 0.47 m 2 / g by the BET method.

(改質水の製造)
製造したセラミック粒子を、ガラス製スクリュー管瓶(50ml)の内容積25%となるように充填した。該スクリュー管瓶に原料水である純水を内容積60%となるよう導入した後、蓋を閉め、セラミック粒子が水中で0.03〜0.2m/sの速度で流動し、相互摩擦、衝突するよう該スクリュー管瓶を数回振って改質水を得た。直ちに瓶の蓋を開けて改質水を採取し、採取直後の改質水と原料水のH−核磁気共鳴スペクトル測定(400MHz)を実施した。
なお、原料水の純水は、香川県さぬき市の水道水を純水製造装置(ミリポア社製Milli-Q Academic A10)を用いて製造したものである。

(Production of reformed water)
The produced ceramic particles were filled so that the inner volume of a glass screw tube bottle (50 ml) was 25%. After introducing pure water as raw material into the screw tube bottle so as to have an internal volume of 60%, the lid is closed, and the ceramic particles flow in water at a speed of 0.03 to 0.2 m / s, mutual friction, The screw tube bottle was shaken several times so as to collide to obtain reformed water. Immediately after opening the bottle lid, the reformed water was collected, and 1 H-nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum measurement (400 MHz) of the reformed water and the raw material water immediately after collection was performed.
In addition, the pure water of raw material water is produced by using tap water from Sanuki City, Kagawa Prefecture, using a pure water production device (Milli-Q Academic A10 manufactured by Millipore).
The nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum measurement apparatus is JEOL JNM-ECA400, measurement conditions are measurement temperature: 25 ° C., measurement mode: single pulse, pulse width: 5.6 μs (45 °), pulse waiting time: 5.0 sec, number of integrations 8 times, chemical shift; deuterated chloroform solution added with a small amount of tetramethylsilane as a reference substance was used on the outside of the double tube, the proton signal of tetramethylsilane was a reference peak (0 ppm), lock signal; heavy water.
1A is a 1 H-nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of the reformed water, and FIG. 1B is a 1 H-nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of the raw water.
The raw water showed almost one main absorption peak at a position of 4.67 ppm as shown in FIG. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 1 (a), a clear and large absorption peak newly appeared in the reformed water at the position of 4.671 ppm on the low magnetic field side. Moreover, these absorption peaks overlapped, and the half value width of the main absorption peak of the reformed water increased from the half value width of the main absorption peak of the raw material water. This is presumed to indicate that the reformed water has changed to a state in which hydrogen bonding is strong or quantitatively has a large number of hydrogen bonds.

(実施例2)
原料水を静岡県富士市の水道水を使用した以外は実施例1と同様にして、実施例2の改質水を製造した。改質水を製造した直後に瓶の蓋を開けて改質水を採取し、改質水と原料水のH−核磁気共鳴スペクトルを測定した。測定は、外部標準としてTMSクロロホルム溶液を2重管外側に用い、内部管に改質水または原料水を入れ、JEOL(株)製JNM-LA400を用いて行った。

原料水は、図2(b)に示すように、主吸収ピークが4.673ppmに、副吸収ピークが4.670ppmに、さらに高磁場側(4.662ppm、4.658ppm)に明確なショルダーピークが存在する。これに対し、改質水は、図2(a)に示すように、主吸収ピークより高磁場側にあったショルダーピークが消失し、4.673ppm、4.670ppmの2つの吸収ピークを有するスペクトルに変化した。このことは、水素の原子核の回りの電子密度が減少していることを示している。このため強固で大きな水分子集団が形成され易く、水分子の構造化が容易な状態になったものと推察される。
(Example 2)
The reformed water of Example 2 was produced in the same manner as in Example 1 except that tap water from Fuji City, Shizuoka Prefecture was used as the raw material water. Immediately after the production of the reformed water, the bottle lid was opened to collect the reformed water, and 1 H-nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of the reformed water and the raw water were measured. The measurement was performed using a JMS-LA400 manufactured by JEOL Co., Ltd., using a TMS chloroform solution as an external standard on the outside of the double tube, putting the reformed water or raw material water in the internal tube.
Measurement conditions are measurement temperature: 25 ° C., measurement mode: single pulse, pulse width: 5.0 μs (45 °), pulse waiting time: 2.90 sec, number of integrations: 100 times, chemical shift: TMS-0 ppm.
FIG. 2A shows a 1 H-nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of the reformed water, and FIG. 2B shows a 1 H-nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of the raw water.
As shown in FIG. 2B, the raw water has a main absorption peak at 4.673 ppm, a secondary absorption peak at 4.670 ppm, and a clear shoulder peak on the high magnetic field side (4.662 ppm, 4.658 ppm). Exists. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 2A, the reformed water has a spectrum having two absorption peaks of 4.673 ppm and 4.670 ppm, with the shoulder peak on the higher magnetic field side disappearing from the main absorption peak. Changed. This indicates that the electron density around the hydrogen nucleus is decreasing. For this reason, it is presumed that a strong and large water molecule group is easily formed, and that the water molecules are easily structured.

(実施例3)
実施例1で説明したセラミック粒子の製造方法と同様の方法で、粒径約2mmの球状のセラミック粒子を製造した。このセラミック粒子10gを容積が100mlのポリプロピレン製の容器に入れるとともに、「Milli-Q SP UFシステム(日本ミリポア株式会社製)」を使用して水道水から製造したミリポア水100mlを原料水として容器に入れた。密栓した後、セラミック粒子が水中で0.03〜0.2m/sの速度で流動するように1秒間に1回の頻度で容器を上下に大きく振とうして、セラミック粒子を衝突させ原料水を改質した。振とう前の原料水、振とう5秒後、10秒後、60秒後、300秒後の改質水のH−パルス核磁気共鳴のCPMG法におけるスピン−スピン緩和時間(T)を測定した(実施例)。
スピン−スピン緩和時間の測定は、パルス核磁気共鳴装置(JEOL製JNM−MU25A)の試料管に、所定量の改質水または原料水を入れて行った。測定条件は、測定温度;30℃、観測周波数;25MHz、測定モード;CPMG法、パルス幅;Pw1…2.1μs,Pw2…4.0μs、パルス待時間;15秒、積算回数;4、Loop;500であった。
比較のため、同じ大きさの容器にセラミック粒子を入れずに前述のミリポア水(原料水)だけを入れて振とうした場合の、300秒後の水のスピン−スピン緩和時間(T)も測定した(比較例)。
図3は実施例と比較例の振とう時間とスピン−スピン緩和時間との関係を示す図である。
スピン−スピン緩和時間(T)の測定の結果、原料水の緩和時間(Ta)は2.35秒であったのに対し、実施例の改質水の緩和時間(Tb)は、振とう5秒後では2.14秒であり、原料水の緩和時間に対する短縮率((Ta−Tb)/Ta)は約9%であった。振とう300秒後の改質水の緩和時間(Tb)は1.82秒であり、原料水の緩和時間に対する短縮率は約23%であった。一方、比較例では、300秒後の緩和時間は2.25秒であり、原料水の緩和時間に対する短縮率は、わずか4.3%であった。
なお、振とう5秒後の改質水のH−核磁気共鳴スペクトルは図1(a)と同様のスペクトルであり、原料水のH−核磁気共鳴スペクトルは図1(b)と同様のスペクトルであった。また、振とう時間が増加するにつれ低磁場側にみられる吸収ピークが、より低磁場側にシフトする傾向がみられた。
以上のように本実施例によれば、改質水はH−パルス核磁気共鳴のCPMG法におけるスピン−スピン緩和時間(T)を短縮させることができ、これは改質水が水素結合性の強いまたは量的に水素結合数が多い状態に変化し水分子が構造化されたことを示していると推察される。
(Example 3)
Spherical ceramic particles having a particle size of about 2 mm were produced in the same manner as the method for producing ceramic particles described in Example 1. While putting 10 g of the ceramic particles in a 100 ml polypropylene container, 100 ml of Millipore water produced from tap water using the “Milli-Q SP UF system (manufactured by Nihon Millipore Co., Ltd.)” is used as the raw water in the container. I put it in. After sealing, the container is shaken largely up and down once per second so that the ceramic particles flow in water at a speed of 0.03 to 0.2 m / s, and the ceramic particles collide with the raw material water. Modified. The raw water before shaking, the spin-spin relaxation time (T 2 ) in the CPMG method of 1 H-pulse nuclear magnetic resonance of the modified water after 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 60 seconds and 300 seconds after shaking. Measurement (Example).
The spin-spin relaxation time was measured by putting a predetermined amount of modified water or raw material water into a sample tube of a pulse nuclear magnetic resonance apparatus (JNM-MU25A manufactured by JEOL). Measurement conditions are: measurement temperature: 30 ° C., observation frequency: 25 MHz, measurement mode: CPMG method, pulse width: Pw1 ... 2.1 μs, Pw2 ... 4.0 μs, pulse waiting time: 15 seconds, number of integrations: 4, Loop; 500.
For comparison, the spin-spin relaxation time (T 2 ) of water after 300 seconds when the above-mentioned Millipore water (raw material water) alone is put in a container of the same size and shaken without adding ceramic particles is also shown. Measured (comparative example).
FIG. 3 is a graph showing the relationship between the shaking time and the spin-spin relaxation time in the examples and comparative examples.
As a result of the measurement of the spin-spin relaxation time (T 2 ), the relaxation time (Ta) of the raw material water was 2.35 seconds, whereas the relaxation time (Tb) of the modified water in the examples was shaken. After 5 seconds, it was 2.14 seconds, and the shortening rate ((Ta-Tb) / Ta) with respect to the relaxation time of the raw material water was about 9%. The relaxation time (Tb) of the reformed water after 300 seconds of shaking was 1.82 seconds, and the shortening rate with respect to the relaxation time of the raw material water was about 23%. On the other hand, in the comparative example, the relaxation time after 300 seconds was 2.25 seconds, and the shortening rate with respect to the relaxation time of the raw material water was only 4.3%.
The 1 H-nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of the reformed water after 5 seconds of shaking is the same spectrum as in FIG. 1A, and the 1 H-nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum of the raw water is the same as in FIG. Spectrum. Further, as the shaking time increased, the absorption peak observed on the low magnetic field side tended to shift to the low magnetic field side.
As described above, according to this embodiment, the reformed water can shorten the spin-spin relaxation time (T 2 ) in the CPMG method of 1 H-pulse nuclear magnetic resonance, which is because the reformed water is bonded to hydrogen. It is inferred that the water molecule has been structured by changing to a state with a strong or quantitative hydrogen bond number.
