Description

The present invention is a purification of water characterized by using a bag body in which copper fiber or a lump of copper fiber is wrapped with a nonwoven fabric or a woven fabric for the purpose of removing residual chlorine in water and algae and bacteria generated in the water. For packs.
When it is installed in an apparatus or instrument that requires water purification or when it is placed alone to purify water for a long period of time, the pack must be excellent in plasticity and durability.

Although it has long been known that copper is microbicidal and has a bactericidal effect, scientific evidence began in 1893 when the botanist Negeri discovered that one tenth of a million copper ions killed Aomidoro. An industry-university joint research presentation on the sterilization and residual chlorine removal effect of 30 micron copper fiber made by Niigata Pharmaceutical University, Hoshisei Sangyo, Chiba City Environmental Health Center, and Coderacapron has been made (see Non-Patent Document 1) . In this presentation, we report the bactericidal effect against Salmonella, Staphylococcus aureus, O-157 and Legionella for three types of copper fiber, copper wire and copper plate. The analysis organization is Niigata Institute for Environmental Health.
For all of the fungi, the number of settlements generated to the fifth power of 10 per milliliter at the start of the copper fiber disappears after 8 hours.

Conventional copper fiber and copper fiber products for water purification have been proposed as a part of the apparatus. (See Patent Documents 1, 2, and 3)
In addition, a method of using the device in a solid state device has been proposed. (See Patent Documents 4 and 5)
April 2001, The 71st Annual Meeting of the Japanese Society of Hygiene, Proceedings, JP-A-10-43769 JP-A-7-251185 JP-A-7-328643 JP-A-11-267635 JP-A-8-71340

About the purification of water using the copper fiber and the copper fiber lump described above, it is only used as a device installed as a part of the device or put in a solid state, and the range of use is limited. There was a problem of lack of applicability.

For the purpose of removing and purifying residual chlorine in clean water and algae and fungi generated in the water, it can be used only for its intended purpose to purify it as part of the apparatus or in a solid container. It is clear that the copper fiber has a high chlorine removal and sterilization effect, and it is a great merit that the copper fiber can be used in a form that can be used for many purposes, not limited to a narrow range. From such a viewpoint, the most desirable form is a water purification pack using a bag body in which copper fibers or copper fiber lumps are packaged in a nonwoven fabric or a woven fabric. The copper fibers and copper fibers used for this are 10 to 50 microns in thickness. The purity of copper shall be 99.96% or more. Further, the present invention relates to a pack characterized in that the size of the nonwoven fabric or woven fabric is 9 microns to less than 50 microns, and the copper fibers or copper fibers cannot be removed from the nonwoven fabric or woven fabric.

Although it is well known that copper has an action of killing algae and bacteria, a large surface area is effective for increasing the effect with the same purity and weight. This is also advantageous for removing residual chlorine in the water.

Residual chlorine was removed from the clean water using the orthochloridine residual chlorine reagent. When 1 cc of the orthochloridine residual chlorine reagent is added to 100 ml of clean water, it turns yellow. This reagent exhibits a yellow color by reacting with residual chlorine. When 1 g of copper fiber having a thickness of 30 μm is added to the reaction and stirred, the color instantly returns from yellow to colorless and transparent water. This is because yellow color is developed by the reaction of the reagent and residual chlorine, but the adsorption power of copper to residual chlorine is stronger.
Moreover, even if 1 cc of orthotolidine is added after stirring 1 g of copper fiber in 100 ml of fresh water, it does not react yellow and remains colorless and transparent. It is recognized that no reaction occurred because residual chlorine was already adsorbed on the cylinder surface. Removal of residual chlorine in water is considered as adsorption of residual chlorine on the copper surface.

Nonwoven fabrics and woven fabrics are made from polypropylene, polyester, polyacryl, nylon chemical fibers, or natural fibers such as silk, cotton, hemp, etc. It is a pack for.
Nonwoven fabric is a cloth that does not weave, not a knitted fabric, paper, or film, but a sheet in which fibers are bonded together by various methods. By selecting raw materials, manufacturing methods, processing methods, etc. according to the purpose of use, the product can be made to function freely, from dense to many voids, from soft to hard, from thick to thin Can be made. Breathability is a basic function, and it can have functions according to applications such as water absorption, volatility, washing resistance, antibacterial, and deodorization.
In the present invention, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, by wrapping copper fiber or copper fiber lump in a non-woven fabric or woven fabric with water permeability, flexibility and durability, it is plastic and can be used by being folded or rolled. Can be easily set on devices or instruments, and can be easily purified as needed, such as by installing it in a place where it is needed alone, without being used as a device or instrument. Can do.
Furthermore, it is expected that copper fibers will easily flow out depending on the object to be treated. For example, when sterilization of processed foods is targeted, it is a problem that copper fibers are mixed into food materials, and it is also a nonwoven fabric or woven fabric as a prevention.
Therefore, the purpose of using a non-woven fabric or a woven fabric can be easily and broaden the application range by making full use of the effect of copper fiber, keeping it in a certain place, and making use of its properties as described above to make a pack.

For example, if it is put in a bath bath for home use, it can remove free chlorine and disinfect the tap water. Place it in the toilet water tank or kitchen drain to eliminate germs, slime and odors. Putting this pack in a plastic bottle and adding tap water removes free chlorine and allows you to drink clean and delicious water at any time due to the sterilization effect. If used in a spray bottle, cleanliness can be maintained from the hair to the feet due to the sterilization effect. If it is placed in the water tank of the humidifier, it prevents the generation of germs and algae, and provides a humidifier that is always clean and has a sterilizing effect.
The same is true for large processing. Placing a container corresponding to the amount of processing in a large tank for beverages will prevent sterilization and algae generation and purify it.
It can be used for water purification in general households as well as facilities that require hygiene management, food processing, and the like.

By wrapping copper fibers or copper fiber lumps in non-woven fabrics or woven fabrics in this way, they can be widely used in devices and instruments that require water purification, and can be used alone in shape, form, size, and length. Now, you can easily attach the one that suits your throughput. Furthermore, it is not only simple, safe and harmless, but also can be used continuously at a low cost for a long period of time, and it can remove residual chlorine in drinking water and algae and bacteria generated in water.

In the purification of water, if it is put in a bathtub for domestic baths, it can remove residual chlorine, algae and bacteria from tap water. If placed in the toilet water tank or kitchen drain, it will disinfect, remove slime and odors. If you put tap water in the plastic bottle with this pack, you can drink clean and delicious water at any time by dechlorination and sterilization effect. If used in a spray bottle, cleanliness can be maintained from the hair to the feet due to the sterilization effect. If it is put in the water tank of the humidifier, it prevents the generation of germs and algae and provides a clean humidifier at all times.
The same is true for large processing. Placing a container corresponding to the amount of processing in a large tank for beverages will prevent sterilization and algae generation and purify it.
It can cope with water purification in general households, as well as facilities that require hygiene management and food processing.

By putting 10 grams of 30 micron copper fiber in a polypropylene nonwoven fabric with an opening of about 15 microns in a water tank of a flush toilet, yellowing and bad smell in the tank and toilet were reduced. This condition was effective for 3 months.

Inside the bath shower bath, 5 grams of 30 micron copper fiber is wrapped in a polyester nonwoven fabric of about 10 microns, and when it is used for people with atopic disease, itching has been cured with soft water and the skin has become rough in 4 months. Became close to the skin of a healthy person.

A water purifier containing activated carbon with no effect, wrapped with 10 grams of 30 micron copper fiber in a 10 micron polyester non-woven fabric instead of activated carbon, and from that day, the smell of chlorine and the unpleasant odor and slime of the drainage were completely removed. lost.

Tap water of 1 micron of 30 micron copper fiber into 10 micron polyester non-woven fabric into a 1 liter plastic bottle, shake well and drink after 5 minutes. Met. In this case, it could be used repeatedly 500 times or more.

When 1 gram of 30 micron copper fiber was wrapped in a 250 ml sprayer without using a non-woven fabric, the copper fiber entered the nozzle after several tens of uses, making it difficult to use the sprayer.
For this reason, as shown in FIG. 4, when replaced with a polypropylene non-woven fabric having an opening of about 10 microns, it could be used without any problems.

Repeated spraying on the hair and body during use with the above spray bottle resulted in smooth hair after drying and a smooth feeling on the skin.
Also, spraying on the injured area and repeatedly hitting the affected area with something contained in cotton healed without abscess in a few days. In addition, when a person with periodontal disease used it for one month after mouth brushing before bedtime, it was found that periodontal disease was greatly improved by the examination of a regular dentist.

When 30 micron copper fiber is wrapped in 10 micron polypropylene non-woven fabric and soaked in a 180 liter bath, the residual chlorine is removed and the skin becomes soft without irritating to the skin. There is a smooth feeling. In addition, there were few slimes in the bathtub and the remaining hot water could be used the next day, and the drainage scent was completely eliminated. The effect lasted for about 2 months.

I immersed 5 liters of copper fiber in 10 micron polyester nonwoven fabric, soaked it in 10 liters of tarai, and kept the vegetables fresh for 3 days without changing the water. . The effect lasted for about 5 months.

As the chlorine test, residual chlorine was analyzed using the residual chlorine reagent orthotridine for the clean water used by the group. When 1 cc of the orthochloridine residual chlorine reagent is added to 100 ml of clean water, it turns yellow. This reagent exhibits a yellow color by reacting with residual chlorine. When 1 g of copper fiber having a thickness of 30 μm is added to the reaction and stirred, the color instantly returns from yellow to colorless and transparent water. This is because yellow color is developed by the reaction of the reagent and residual chlorine, but the adsorption power of copper to residual chlorine is stronger.
Moreover, even if 1 cc of orthotolidine is added after stirring 1 g of copper fiber in 100 ml of fresh water, it does not react yellow and remains colorless and transparent. It is recognized that no reaction occurred due to the residual chlorine adsorbed on the cylinder surface. The decomposition of residual chlorine in water is considered as adsorption of residual chlorine on the copper surface.
