Description

  The present invention relates to a liquid modifier and a reforming method for reforming water.

  The spring water of a certain area has long been known as a famous famous water. Due to the modification effect of natural stones in the area, such natural stones are crushed or pulverized and pulverized, then added with the third component and then fired. Various methods for modifying water as ceramics have been proposed.

  As described above, various methods for reforming water have been proposed, but the current situation has not left the range of trial and error.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to make it possible to construct a system that provides a benefit to all fields in which the liquid is used by modifying the liquid with ceramics by a simple means.

  The liquid modifier of the present invention is a fired product composed of a core part, a base layer part, and a surface layer part, and the core part is kneaded with a ceramic raw material powder similar to that of ceramics in water to form a clay shape. After forming, drying, and unbaking, the base layer portion is formed with a transition metal oxide layer having a high far-infrared emissivity as a main component, and is composed of a surface layer portion made of glass so as to cover the base layer portion. The ceramic is fired at high temperature, and the base layer part and the surface layer part are partially peeled to expose the core part.

  The reforming method of the present invention is a reforming method for reforming the liquid to be treated by a method in which the liquid modifier and the liquid to be treated are brought into contact with each other. In addition, the liquid modifying material is filled in a cylindrical container provided with a liquid extraction port, the liquid to be treated is introduced from the inlet, the processing liquid is taken out from the outlet, and packed in a wire mesh bag or a fiber bag. It is soaked in water, laid in a liquid flow path, or treated as a filter bed surrounded by metal, plate, bamboo, and modified by contact with water, sewage, or river water. .

  According to the present invention, ceramics and water, fuel oil, alcohol and the like are easily modified by efficiently contacting these liquids and ceramics, exhibiting a unique reforming performance, In addition to agriculture, forestry and fisheries, and industry, it can contribute to a very wide range of fields such as health and medical care, environmental improvement and energy saving.

The present invention solves the following (1) to (3), thereby modifying a liquid with ceramics by a simple means, and constructing a system that brings benefits to all fields in which these liquids are used.
(1) A method for producing ceramics having a very high reforming ability for the purpose of reforming water, fuel oil and alcohol.
(2) Establishment of a contact treatment method between ceramics and a liquid to be treated.
(3) Confirmation of application field of liquid modified by ceramic treatment and its effect.

  Among the liquids to be modified by ceramic treatment, water is particularly essential for animals and plants, and in modern society it is difficult to obtain water that is rich in functionality (or activity) like natural spring water. In other words, the contaminated water in which impurities are dissolved must be used after advanced treatment.

  Although water is a compound of hydrogen and oxygen, the bond between hydrogen and oxygen has a unique property because the bond angle between hydrogen is 104.5 ° C and it is not bonded linearly like carbon dioxide. Yes. Two hydrogen atoms are biased to one side, so water molecules have both positive and negative poles, water molecules are associated with each other, have an unusually high boiling point melting point and triple point, and also have sublimation properties. In addition, the surface tension is high, the heat of vaporization and specific heat are large, the solubility of the substance is high, and almost all elements are dissolved in seawater.

  The molecular motion of water gradually decreases with decreasing temperature, but the water molecules gather together to form a group and move around while constantly changing the opponent rather than being fixed. Water molecules move more than 100 million times per second even at around 0 ° C, and the range of movement is about 8 cm (8/100 million). Moving around within range. Even if it is in an ice state or connected by hydrogen bonds, it is not fixed and vibrates at a rate of about 1 billionth of a second.

  In the state of water and ice, the arrangement of molecules changes and the state with the fewest gaps is obtained at 4 ° C. However, when ice is formed, it binds to a hexagonal shape and creates large gaps between molecules, so the specific gravity is small and Come to float. Because water has the highest specific gravity at 4 ° C, rivers, lakes and ocean bottoms do not freeze. In addition, although the surface tension is abnormally high due to the attractive force between water molecules due to the sparse hydrogen bonding of water, the water produced by making the clusters formed by the water-bound bonds (high coalescence of water by hydrogen bonding) finer The surface tension is lowered and the water is easily spread, and the water can be modified so that it can easily penetrate into the tissue or become wet, can be easily washed, and can save detergent. This modified water is called active water or functional water.

In general, as a method of obtaining modified water (active water or functional water) by treating tap water, other than treatment by dissolved gas control, electrolysis, chemical addition, radiation, light, ultrasound, magnetism, etc. There are natural ore and ceramic processing. By these treatments, the following (1) to (5) are produced singly or in combination.
(1) Cluster fragmentation of water molecular aggregates (2) Generation of radicals (3) Generation of active chemical species by reaction of radicals with dissolved gas (4) Change in redox potential (5) Dissociation of water Change in degree etc.

  As a result, changes in physical properties such as dielectric constant, viscosity, electrical conductivity, surface tension, permeability, redox potential, etc. occur, thereby sterilizing power, cleaning ability, promotion of animal and plant growth, removal of dirt around water, scale rust It is possible to eliminate or alleviate problems in all fields that use water, such as removal, purification of drainage and rivers, removal of bad odors in the atmosphere (deodorization), purification of air, and the like. In particular, ceramic treatment does not require special energy, and it is possible to easily modify liquids such as water. Furthermore, as a property unique to ceramics treated water, this modification can be achieved even if water is heated and heated. It has become clear that the function is not lost, and that the activation function is exhibited more particularly in the food processing field. From this point of view, the present invention proposes not only reforming by water ceramic treatment (activation or functional waterification) but also reforming of associative alcohol and other fuel oils.

The present invention is a ceramic material as an infrared emitter that efficiently generates energy having a molecular vibration spectrum that matches the natural frequency of the liquid to be treated, and there are many patents for achieving this object. Ceramic materials are mainly composed of zirconia (ZrO ₂ ), alumina (Al ₂ O ₃ ), zircon (ZrO ₂ SiO ₂ ) and titanium oxide (TiO ₂ ). Appears white due to diffuse reflection of light.

  Both infrared rays and visible rays are electromagnetic waves, and it is desirable that a highly efficient infrared radiator is a nearly black body. From this point of view, the black material absorbs visible light and therefore absorbs light in the near infrared region.

Examples of brown or black ceramic materials include transition metal oxides such as Fe ₂ O ₃ , FeO, Cr ₂ O ₃ CoO, CuO, NiO, and MnO ₂ used for coloring glass and enamel. These are used as glazes on the contact surface with the ceramic liquid as a liquid modifier in the same manner as ceramic glazes. Kaolin, feldspar, etc. are used as the base material in the same way as in ceramics. By mixing and using tap water and seawater as adjustment water for glaze, many ions contained in seawater are fused with components constituting ceramics.

The reason for this is that, in the same way as the enamel of soot, soot containing vitreous material has a small charge number to prevent cracking and damage due to compression pressure on the surface soot during the cooling process after combustion, and the ion radius In addition to the purpose of containing large potassium ions (K ⁺ ) and sodium ions (Na ⁺ ) as glass modifying ions, the elution of a small amount of ions is also important for the modification of water. Due to electrostatic interaction due to hydration of ions and molecules with dipoles, ions do not exist as bare ions in water, but in a state where several molecules of water are bound to surround the ions, that is, by hydration of the ions. Yes, this hydration causes the water molecules to polarize due to the charge they carry and exists or moves in the aqueous solution with several water molecules attracted and bound around them.

Similarly, hydrogen ions are not bare proton H ⁺ , but water molecules are hydrated to become H ⁺ .H ₂ O or H ₃ 0 ⁺ . This is called hydroxonium ion. The conductivity (or mobility) of hydrogen ions (H ⁺ ) and hydroxide ions (OH ⁻ ) is unusually large compared to other ions, and the ions hydrated by ions themselves are water molecules when traveling through an aqueous solution. Proceed while eliminating resistance. This is H ⁺ and OH ^- are said to be due to move to other water molecules from the hydrated water molecules. When a chemical substance is dissolved in water, a large change in the surface properties of the water occurs, generating a plane layer with positive and negative load biases (polarization) perpendicular to the interface, and a double layer of molecular thickness is formed. It is formed.

For ceramics intended for liquid modification, when the surface layer of the ceramic is formed using a transition metal oxide glaze to increase the radiation efficiency of far-infrared rays, the fracture surface of the base kaolinite layer on this surface layer By forming the surface, a surface different from the conventional ceramic covered with glaze is formed, and AlOH of this surface edge captures H ⁺ ions to give a positively charged edge. This will be described with reference to FIGS.

  Charge separation in the vertical direction occurs through preferential adsorption of positive or negative ions at the interface, adsorption and orientation of molecules with dipoles, and charge transfer from one phase to another. As a result, regardless of the source of charge separation, a potential difference is created across the interface, resulting in an electric double layer. The electric double layer is formed by adsorption of molecules with dipoles and separation of ions with positive and negative charges.

  The potential difference existing in the electric double layer is called electrokinetic force or zeta potential, which can be known by the method of electrophoresis, and is about 0.02 to 0.06 (average 0.04) volts. When water is applied to both sides of the unglazed partition wall and a motive power is applied to the water, the water moves from the anode toward the cathode. This is because the porcelain clay, which is the raw material for unglazed, is a colloidal colloid, and the water around it, that is, the water in the fine pores of the unglazed wall, is positively charged, and this phenomenon is called electric permeation. This phenomenon is observed when electrolysis is performed using the unglazed cylinder as a partition wall.

  In addition, the treatment using ceramics is known as one of the methods for imparting activity and functionality to water. In this case, it is the water handbook (2003 edition) that the elution of minerals becomes an important factor of the activity. Issued by Maruzen Co., Ltd.).

  The electromagnetic wave, that is, the far-infrared ray radiated by the ceramic used for modifying the liquid is an infrared ray having a wavelength range from about 2 μm to about 30 μm related to the interatomic motion of the substance to be modified. In particular, in recent years, attention has been focused on the physiology of the human body, the growth of animals and plants, and the environment, and most of the components that make up animals and plants are water, which is for the beneficial effects of the modification or activation of the water. .

Water has fundamental absorption wavelength 2.74μm (3652cm ^-1), then there is a wavelength of 6.27μm (1597cm ^-1). Of these two wavelengths, the 2.74 μm wavelength is an increase in water temperature, and the 6.27 μm wavelength associates by hydrogen bonding, which is necessary for cutting and breaking the water molecules in the clusters that form the cluster. Wavelength. The energy to form water clusters is about 5 kcal / mol, and the corresponding wavelength is about 5 μm, so it has far-infrared radiation around 2 μm to 30 μm and the maximum in the wavelength range of 8 μm to 12 μm. Ceramics having a radiation wavelength can sufficiently break the hydrogen bond of the cluster.

  Water that has been cleaved to reduce the cluster size is observed to have a higher evaporation rate, and hydrogen bonds are broken and modified not only for water but also for associated liquids such as alcohol and organic acids. . By reducing the cluster size, it becomes easy to enter the tissues of animals and plants, and effects such as activation of metabolism, improvement of yield, promotion of growth, etc. are expected.

The ceramic, which is a liquid modifier of the present invention, generates hydrosonium ions and further generates protons (H ⁺ ) by reaction with water, and has a reducing action to remove iron rust and the surface of iron is black FeO And return to reddish brown Fe ₂ O ₃ by H ₂ O ₂ oxidation. In addition, the reaction between dissolved oxygen and H ⁺ produces H ₂ O ₂ and causes an oxidizing action.

H ₂ O ₂ is decomposed by the catalytic action of transition metal oxides that make up ceramics, and OH and H radicals are also considered to be generated. Oxidation of substances in a reducing atmosphere such as ammonia decomposition and reservoir accumulation sludge It can be disassembled. The ceramics of the present invention exhibiting such a redox action extends not only to the action of reducing a huge water cluster but also to an extremely wide range of applications.

  In addition, fuel oil can be reformed. In gasoline, aromatic hydrocarbons increase significantly, and olefins and saturated hydrocarbons decrease in proportion to the increase in aromatic hydrocarbons. It is confirmed that quality is possible, and fuel consumption can be reduced by increasing octane number.

  In the photocyclization reaction, the electrons excited by LUMO determine the stereoselective reactivity. When the number of C atoms is 4n + 2α, LUMO is an anti-object and the reaction proceeds in a co-rotational manner. On the other hand, in the case of 4n, LUMO is the target, so the reaction proceeds recursively.

  In the case of the ceramic treatment that is the liquid modifier of the present invention, the resonance with the molecular vibration energy is a photocyclization reaction, and the fuel is circulated in the turbulent region and repeatedly contacted with the ceramic that is the modifier. In addition to the reaction in which both ends of polyene in oil are bonded and ring-closed, there is a possibility that a low molecular weight reaction by partial cleavage of a saturated hydrocarbon may also occur. The energy obtained by the collision of molecules is converted into molecular vibrational energy, and the reaction starts when excited. Therefore, it is necessary to bring the fluid into the excited state by repeatedly causing collisions in the turbulent flow region.

  In diesel oil for diesel engines, there is a slight decrease in aromatic hydrocarbons and an increase in saturated hydrocarbons, but a slight increase in aniline point, a significant decrease in viscosity, and an increase in middle distillate components in distillation tests. The combustion timing of the fuel in the engine is made uniform, and the combustion efficiency is greatly improved, so that the fuel consumption can be reduced.

  In addition, the exhaust state of the gasoline engine and the diesel engine is improved in the combustion state based on the analysis result, so that the combustion exhaust gas is purified and contributes to environmental conservation. The mechanism of fuel oil reforming is not clear, but there are phenomena that cannot be explained by the conventional `` electron pair flow '' to explain this, and the stereospecificity of ring closure and ring opening of conjugated alkenes and the same compound. Nevertheless, the reaction between the thermal reaction and the light irradiation reaction is completely different.

  These are governed by the sign (objectivity) of the orbital cell of carbon atoms in HOMO (highest occupied orbit) and LUMO (lowest orbit). In the thermal ring closure reaction, the HOMO electrons determine the stereoselective reaction. When HOMO is symmetric, the reaction proceeds recursively when the number of C atoms is 4m + 2, while when the number of C atoms is 4m, the target of HOMO is counter object and the reaction proceeds co-rotatically.

Details of the embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described.
[Example 1]
A method for producing a novel ceramic for the purpose of modifying liquid and a method for producing and using a ceramic which is a liquid modifier of the present invention will be described.
The core part of the ceramic modifier is a mixed powder of porcelain (Al ₂ O ₃ · 2SiO ₂ · 2H ₂ O) feldspar (KAlSi ₃ O ₈ ) zircon (ZrSiO ₂ ) titania (TiO ₂ ), tap water Water and seawater were mixed at a 1: 1 weight ratio. Then, after kneading, forming and drying with the mixed water, it was baked in a high temperature furnace at 800 to 850 ° C.

  The shape and dimensions can be arbitrarily changed according to the purpose of modifying the liquid during molding. For example, when liquid is passed through a columnar cartridge filled in a cylindrical cartridge, the spherical shape is determined arbitrarily according to the viscosity and flow rate of the liquid in consideration of the flow resistance contact area. To do. In addition to spheres, there are plate shapes, columnar shapes, sea cucumber shapes, honeycomb shapes, and the like.

Next, glaze was applied to the fired core. This kite has a 30% mixture of 30% Fe ₂ O ₃ , 50% MnO ₂ , 10% CoO and 10% CuO powder as transition metal oxides to increase the emissivity of far-infrared rays and about 200 mesh of fallen stones. 20% pulverized product and 50% SK12 釉 for high ceramics (mixture consisting of 16% kaolin, 29% feldspar, 44% quartz and 11% limestone) are kneaded with a mixture of seawater and mineral mineral solution and glazed. -It baked in the high temperature furnace at the temperature of 1200 to 1500 degreeC in the high temperature furnace. In this case, the surface of the ceramic material that has been glazed is placed on a ceramic baking tray so that about 5 to 10% of the individual surface area is in contact with each other. The state in which the core surface was partially exposed (peeled bald portion) was 5% to 10% of the surface area of each ceramic. This part becomes an infiltration part to the core part of the liquid to be treated and is an important part that serves as an ion supplement part as an edge surface for forming the electric double layer and increases the liquid modifying ability of the ceramic.

  By setting the area of the portion where the core portion is exposed to 5% to 10%, it is possible to form an electric multilayer while maintaining the surface area of the far infrared radiation portion of the surface layer portion. In addition, as lime cake (also known as chair ash cake) used in Koimari porcelain when applying this cocoon, by adding ash from leaves and bark of evergreen trees rich in minerals, a trace amount contained in the plant You may use as an adjuvant which plays the role of the melt | dissolution dispersion | distribution at the time of the addition of a mineral and baking of a glaze. The evaluation results of the ceramics thus manufactured are shown in Table 1 below. Moreover, in FIG. 3, the measurement result of the emissivity of infrared rays is shown.

  From this result, it was evaluated that the ceramic which is the liquid modifier of the present invention has high reforming performance, and the intended purpose could be achieved. This ceramic was fired at a high temperature of 1200 to 1500 ° C., and there was almost no elution of components constituting the ceramic in water, and no heavy metal ions were eluted.

[Example 2]
In this example, an experiment for confirming the effect of water modification by ceramics in the entire nursing home was conducted. Specifically, we conducted experiments to confirm the water reforming effect by accepting tap water to hospitals and other medical institutions and installing it in the water supply system. As an experimental facility, install it at the pump in the discharge pipe of the delivery pump from the receiving storage tank of the well-paid Ichikawa water supply member of 1-1073 Umemachi, Uchimachi, Ichikawa City, a member of the National Paid Retirement Home Association and the circulation line of the storage tank Thus, tap water circulates continuously between the pump and the storage tank. The ceramic treated water that repeats contact with the ceramics and circulates back to the storage tank, and the water that is replenished in accordance with the use of the water is mixed in the storage tank, and dissolved oxygen is constantly maintained in saturation by contact with the atmosphere. ing. Naturally, ceramic-treated water is supplied to all places where water is used, so a wide range of experiments can be performed for drinking, bathing, air conditioning, canteens, and toilets.

  First, a total falling bacteria survey (measured from 16:00 to 16:15 on December 7, 2005) was performed. The measurement time was 15 minutes, and two locations were measured simultaneously at the same location. The results are shown in Table 2.

  At a general entrance, about 15 colonies are usually measured in 5 minutes, and 10 colonies can be said to be very beautiful in 15 minutes. Ideally, no growth of bacteria should be allowed.

  In addition, for a detailed report on the results of water reforming experiments using ceramics, which are liquid modifiers of the present invention, a report by Mr. Ikeda, International Medical and Environmental Research Institute Co., Ltd. and Welpia Co., Ltd. Are shown in Tables 3 to 6 below.

  Next, the Legionella inspection of bathtub water was performed. The collection time was 12:00 on December 12, 2005 and 10:00 on January 16, 2006. The results are shown in Table 7.

  Next, Table 8 below shows the contents of the present status report after the ceramic treatment modification of water in Welpia Ichikawa.

  From the experimental results in Welpia Ichikawa, the water modification by the ceramic, which is the liquid modifying material of the present invention, has obtained good results as expected. Therefore, it can contribute to the solution of various troubles by application to related water use facilities.

  In addition, the sterilizing action of the modified water by ceramics against bacteria produces superoxide and hydroxyl radicals as intermediates for the generation of water molecules of oxygen molecules, and exhibits sterilizing action with extremely strong oxidizing power. Recently, there is a tendency to increase the chlorine concentration in tap water to cover the deterioration of the quality of raw water, but dissolved chlorine is also driven out by ceramic treatment. In fact, a strong chlorine odor is generated when tap water is poured into a container containing ceramics.

By making the water cluster by ceramic treatment fine, water of the same quality as the original spring water can be used in terms of drinking, bathing, and air conditioning. Furthermore, the deodorizing action of indoor air is due to a strong instantaneous oxidizing action similar to the sterilizing action. For example, the oxidation of ammonia (NH ₃ ) occurs as follows:
H ₂ O → OH + H
・ OH + ・ OH → H ₂ O ₂ → H ₂ O + [O]
_{NH 3 +3 · OH + 3 [} O] + · H → NO 3 - + 3H 2 O + H +,

  The same reaction can be considered for amines and mercaptans, and they are deodorized. The water modified by the ceramic treatment is a water which is easy to evaporate due to a small cluster size, and this vaporized water diffuses into the atmosphere as water vapor. In addition, it is negatively charged, and is thought to lead the body to reducibility by breathing and prevent oxidation and aging by active oxygen generated in the body. Therefore, the use of ceramics-treated water for air conditioning has a great effect on the health of breathing in addition to deodorization and sterilization.

[Example 3]
Next, a demonstration experiment was conducted at a chicken processing facility. The place was a broiler processing factory = (Yes) Big Drive Co. (Ariake-cho, Kagoshima Prefecture). Therefore, 60 kg of ceramic, which is the liquid modifier of the present invention, was installed in the water inlet and outlet piping of a factory water tank that uses 600 tons of daily groundwater. This factory pre-treats 45,000 broilers / day, exsanguinates, soaks in hot water from the boiler, depilates, removes inedible areas, cleans, cools, and disassembles. And uses a large amount of hot water and water.

The experimental results were as follows.
(1) The amount of boiler fuel oil used before and after water treatment with ceramics decreased from 1200L / day to 900L / day, a 33% reduction.
(2) The broiler skin yield increased by 3.3%. In other words, 75.5% of products 13.5kg to 13.8kg were 78.8% of products 14.1kg to 14.4kg after introduction, and the difference increased 3.3% compared to 18kg boil before ceramics introduction.

  From this result, water with smaller clusters has faster energy transfer, increased vapor evaporation, and reduced fuel consumption time of the boiler, resulting in fuel savings. The improvement in the yield of the broiler skin of the broiler is processed in the water for 25 minutes in the broiler treatment process, so the water with the smaller clusters penetrates into the tissues and cells and is absorbed, leading to an improvement in the yield. It is considered a thing.

Moreover, the effects of the following points are seen in the improvement effect of the whole factory after ceramics installation.
(1) Environmental improvement in the factory.
(A) No deodorizing treatment is required due to the reduction of spoilage bacteria due to the bactericidal effect.
(B) Static electricity was suppressed, dust was suppressed, and air was refreshed.
(2) Eisai in the factory.
As a result of the sterilization action, not only products but also bacteria and other bacteria were reduced, and dirt such as attached fat was peeled off to prevent reattachment and to shorten cleaning time and detergent.
(3) Effect on employees.
Roughness of hands in water work has been improved.
(4) The economic effect of the factory.
Effects such as no need for disinfectants, reduction of labor costs due to shortening of cleaning time, reduction of air conditioning power due to suppression of static electricity, reduction of maintenance costs for extending the life of factory equipment and machinery, reduction of cleaning and replacement work for piping, etc. Employee morale improved.

  From the results of this experiment, the effect of applying ceramic treated water is extremely large in the food processing field.

[Example 4]
Experiments were conducted with ceramics treated water for irrigation for crop cultivation. The place was experimented as water for ceramics treatment of Saigo eggplant house cultivation in Kaseda Farm (Matsuyama Town, Kagoshima Prefecture). As an experimental method, building A is a 40A ceramic cartridge (ceramics approximately 5kg)
On), building C had no ceramic treatment as a control, planted 819 in building A and 761 in building C. The yield of building C was multiplied by 1.07, assuming that the yield was proportional to the number of trees planted. The results are shown in Table 9.

A difference in yield of 18% was better for building A as a whole.
In addition, building B was planted with premature seeds before the experiment, but became sick, and after switching to ceramics-treated water, the disease recovered. In addition, the present inventors have conducted experiments on vegetables, rice, and other plants such as parks, and are highly evaluated in terms of promoting growth and controlling disease damage.

[Example 5]
Experiments were conducted in public and public facilities such as water and sewage systems and ponds. First of all, pumping the underground water of the municipal water department under the direct control of the underground 200m of Gabide State Dasmarinas City, Philippines in the water storage tank of 120.000m ^3, at the facility for supplying water to about 300 households 1.5000 people, the water quality standards of clean water provisions of the country As a means of improving the water quality, a ceramic treatment facility was installed at the water inlet. The water 2 minutes after the start of the installation water supply became transparent and reddish from red water.

  After 12 hours and 24 hours from the start of water supply, the residents were surveyed. After 12 hours, in addition to the result that it turned into clear and delicious water at a distance of 3 km from the water supply facility that can accommodate about 200 people, the bad smell of water was lost in addition to the result that the kitchen, toilet and sewage odor disappeared A detailed explanation of the reason for the change to high quality water was requested, and there was a word of thanks from the water department staff.

  In addition, after 24 hours, a Japanese semiconductor factory located 2 km away from the water supply facility became drinkable due to the clearing of water and the disappearance of bad odor, and the air in the factory was cleaned. Table 10 below shows the water quality and national standards after the ceramic treatment.

  Next, with the assistance of Nagasaki City, water purification and sewage purification experiments were conducted. Specifically, for the purpose of purifying the water for landscaping in the village of Mosato-cho, Nagasaki-shi, and removing algae, 4 kg of spherical ceramic mesh bags are laid in the groove at the fountain pool outlet to contact the overflowing water. Was installed.

  The water quality of the water was especially high, and the number of Legionella bacteria was 930FU / 100ml, and an order for improvement was issued by the city health center. The number of Legionella bacteria rapidly became 80 CFU / 100 ml or less after ceramics installation, and the detection limit was 10 CHF / 100 ml or less, and after 5 days of installation, the detachment of the algae became remarkable and disappeared, and the odor was improved. Ceramics were installed in the water storage next to Glover Gardener Ringer's house and the sewer on Wakaba Town as a purification experiment for water storage and sewage, and the water quality was analyzed before and after installation. The experimental results are shown in Table 11.

  Algae disappeared in about one week. Therefore, the value of chlorofoil decreased sharply, and BOD, CODmn, and SS decreased.

  Next, an experiment to prevent red water by removing red rust on the water supply pipe was conducted on the water supply pipe in the Namito-ri Inami area of Motobu Town, Okinawa Prefecture. This water pipe was laid at the time of the Ocean Expo and was problematic due to frequent red rust water. In addition, it was implemented with the assistance of the Waterworks Division in Motobu Town.

  The water in this area has a hardness of 200 mg / l due to the soil properties, and scales are likely to form in water pipes. A cartridge containing 1m of ceramics was installed in the 50A pipe introduced from the water source to the distribution reservoir, and the filter media was installed in the pressure regulating tank in the middle of the water supply pipe with a total length of 4.5km. As a result, the red water stopped, the odor disappeared, the tub stains, and the odor of the tank in the pressure tank disappeared, but the water department staff was surprised by the residual chlorine of 0.3 mg / l. .

  Next, an experiment was conducted at the waterside plaza of the Kappogawa River with the assistance of the Kyushu Regional Development Bureau, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, for the purpose of purifying the river. Table 12 shows the results of water quality analysis.

  As BOD, COD, and SS decreased, the sediment sludge on the riverbed disappeared and fish gathered in ceramic-treated water.

As described above, the results of water reforming are combined and the effects of water reforming by ceramics are summarized as follows. When the ceramic which is the liquid modifier of the present invention was laminated in a beaker, filled with tap water and allowed to stand, and the oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) was measured, the results shown in Table 13 were obtained.

  Oxygen in the air dissolved in the water used was lost, resulting in a dissolved nitrogen atmosphere. There was no dissolution of air, and the ORP decreased, indicating reduction. According to this result, since the ORP has been reduced in a very long time and the water modification by ceramics is extremely fast, the idea that the ceramic treated water is the ring water is not valid. Rather, it is reasonable to consider the deodorization and bactericidal action due to the extremely strong oxidizing action in combination with the reduction reaction that occurs due to the generation of oxidizing superoxide, peroxide and hydroxyl radical due to the involvement of dissolved oxygen. It is always necessary to supply oxygen in the atmosphere.

By using ceramic-treated water in the fish tank of the aquarium, NH _{3 from} fish excreta is transferred to NO ₂ and NO ₂ is oxidized and transferred to NO ₃ and the generated NO ₃ is not ceramic-treated with ceramic-treated water. In this case, the water handbook (published by Maruzen Co., Ltd.) shows that the denitrification effect is remarkable when 50ppm is reduced to 25ppm.

Regarding the reduction action, comparing the nail with blue rust generated in the beaker with the ceramic and the one without the ceramic, red rust is liberated in the beaker containing the ceramic and the surface of the nail is Fe ₂ O. _As the color changed from reddish brown of ₃ to black of FeO, the fine particles of free Fe ₂ O ₃ aggregate and can be separated with a filter paper of about 10 μm. On the other hand, nails without ceramics have a nail surface where Fe ₂ O ₃ and FeO coexist, and the reddish brown matter of free Fe ₂ O ₃ is hard to aggregate and is difficult to settle and separate.

The scale that occurs in water pipes is mainly composed of dissolved calcium in water and reacts with carbon dioxide dissolved in water to precipitate out as CaCO ₃ , but dissolves by the carbonic acid produced by the reaction between dissolved oxygen and water, resulting in calcium bicarbonate. As water soluble. These reactions are seen in the limestone dissolution and stalagmite formation caused by groundwater in the limestone cave, and it is interpreted that the ceramic-treated water has the effect of causing these reactions quickly.

  The oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) of natural water is in a wide range of about +500 mV to -500 mV, and varies depending on the temperature. In addition, when dissolved oxygen disappears, the ORP decreases. As the ORP decreases, the redox material is reduced by the intrinsic ORP. For example, ammonium ions having an ORP of +450 to +300 mv are more stable than nitrate ions, and iron (II) is more stable than iron (III) at +300 to +200 v.

  When ORP drops to 0 mV, sulfides become more stable than sulfate ions and sulfur. These react reversibly in response to changes in ORP. Sludge accumulates in fast-flowing stagnation rivers and lakes, which are caused by anaerobic bacteria due to a reducing atmosphere due to lack of oxygen. In order to prevent the accumulation of sludge in rivers and lakes, in addition to eliminating stagnation and eliminating deficiency of dissolved oxygen.

  Rivers that contain minerals and small clusters of water gather together to form rivers that are constantly in contact with the atmosphere and exhibit natural purification. At present, it is difficult to conserve the environment because pollutants are discharged by modern civilization, but if we can improve the ceramic processing even a little, the long-standing efforts of the inventors will be rewarded.

[Example 6]
A fuel oil ceramics modification experiment was conducted in-house and analyzed at the Fuel Oil Analysis Center. The fuel oil used is regular gasoline for automobiles and 150L each for diesel oil for diesel cars. The fuel is put in a 300L fuel tank, and a centrifugal pump is used to provide 2000A / hr (0.56 seconds) in a 25A pipe. A 12mm ceramic ball packed in a 50A x 700mm cartridge was attached to this 25A pipe, and air was vented from the vent of the cartridge. Then, the tank was circulated to reform the fuel oil and sampled. Fuel tanks, pumps, and piping were grounded as countermeasures against static electricity caused by the flow of fuel oil, and accident prevention measures were taken. The analysis results are shown in Table 14.

  Olefin and saturated hydrocarbons decreased, aromatics increased, density increased, and olefins and saturated hydrocarbons combined to reform into aromatic cyclic compounds. Therefore, it can be said that it has been modified to an aromatic having a high octane number by the modification. Further, the distillation properties before and after the reforming of the light oil are shown in Table 15, and the difference in temperature corresponding to the distillate amount is shown in FIG.

  There is a slight change in the composition of light oil, but contrary to gasoline, the phenomenon of aromatic decrease and hydrocarbon increase is observed. There is a significant decrease in distillation temperature in the middle distillate range (about 200 ° C to 320 ° C), and the molecular weight of saturated hydrocarbons is reduced in this range, resulting in a decrease in viscosity. The aniline score also increased slightly. From this fact, the low-boiling components of light oil increased, and the difference in the amount of distillation from the initial distillation to 290 ° C was 7%, and the difference from the initial distillation to 280 ° C was about 6%. Therefore, the combustion in the engine is made uniform, leading to an improvement in fuel consumption.

Using gasoline and light oil modified by ceramic treatment, fuel consumption was reduced and exhaust gas was analyzed. The results are shown in Table 16.

  This resulted in an average 20% reduction in fuel consumption and a slight improvement in horsepower. Also, the exhaust odor decreased. The color of the exhaust gas became colorless.

  Next, a test was conducted at British Motor Corporation in Tokorozawa City, Saitama Prefecture. Table 17 shows the results of fuel consumption and running performance of regular gasoline. Table 18 shows the exhaust gas analysis results when the regular gasoline is returned after the test is completed, and Table 19 shows the experience results of the running performance during the reformed gasoline test running. Furthermore, Table 20 shows the results of the driver's sensory evaluation when using reformed gasoline.

  Despite Jaguar's concept that high-octane refueling is designated by the manufacturer, this test uses regular gasoline and achieves acceleration power and quietness that surpass high-octane. Moreover, the fact that the exhaust gas CO and HC were also zero or close to them was a result of a significant reduction in fuel consumption.

  In this way, the current fuel savings and environmental problems in the automobile society are important for a significant increase in oil prices. The technology for fuel oil reforming with ceramics, which can solve these problems at once, is quickly spread. Should.

  Table 21 shows the analysis results of exhaust gas from diesel vehicles (analysis by Nobeoka Laboratory, Nobeoka City, Miyazaki Prefecture).

  As shown in Table 21, CO and Nox in the exhaust gas of the modified light oil are both low. This is due to improved combustion efficiency.

  As described above, in this example, experiments were conducted in a wide range of fields. Table 22 shows examples of application fields of the modification system using liquid ceramics.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, as a reforming material such as ceramics and water, fuel oil, and alcohol, these liquids and ceramics are easily reformed by efficiently contacting them, and a specific reforming is performed. It demonstrates its performance and contributes to a wide range of fields such as health, medical care, environmental improvement and energy saving as well as consumer, agriculture, forestry and fisheries, and industry.
