DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for producing a water activating agent used for water purification and the like.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, the importance of water has been recognized, and purification of water with barley stone or a commercially available water purifier has been frequently performed.
Water is separated into weakly acidic water and weakly alkaline water by chemicals or electrolysis, and the weakly acidic water is used for cosmetics such as face washing, and the weakly alkaline water is used for drinking.

[0003]

Although barley stone and commercially available water purifiers are effective, they require frequent replacement, and their costs are not low. Therefore, a more active and less expensive water purifier has conventionally been required.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a water purifier which is more active than conventional barley stones and commercially available water purifiers, and which is inexpensive. In addition, the present invention not only provides a highly active and inexpensive water purification agent, but also reduces the water molecule population (cluster), emits various minerals and trace elements, and emits far infrared rays. An object of the present invention is to provide a water-activating agent having an action of activating water.

According to the present invention, diatomaceous earth is dried, ground to 50 mesh or less, subjected to primary granulation using water, and the primary granulated material is sieved to produce seed grains. Secondary granulation using water in a granulator heated to 150 ° C., drying the secondary granulated product, primary baking at 150 to 250 ° C. for 10 to 20 hours, and then 600 ° C.
This is a method for producing a water-activating agent, which is characterized by performing secondary firing at a temperature of about 900 ° C. for 4 to 24 hours.

The water activating agent according to the present invention cannot be produced by a method other than the present invention. Since the water activating agent according to the present invention has no conventionally known production method, the production method of the present invention cannot be compared with the conventional production method.

The main components of diatomaceous earth are, on a rough weight basis, 50.0 to 60.0% of silicic anhydride, 11.0 to 15.0% of aluminum oxide, 3.0 to 5.5% of iron oxide, 2.5 to 4.5% of calcium oxide, 1.0 to 2.0% of magnesium oxide, and 0.6 of sulfur. -1.5%, potassium oxide 0.3-3.8%, sodium oxide 0.03-2.8%, titanium oxide 0.1-0.5%. Specific surface area is 35.0-40.0m ²
/ g, pore volume 0.26 ~ 0.40, average pore radius 450 ~ 550mm,
pH 7.1-7.6. The production of diatomaceous earth, which is a raw material for such a water-activating agent, is limited to a few places in Japan at present. Examples of the components of the diatomaceous earth used in the present invention are as follows:
Table 2 shows an example of physical properties in Table 2, and Table 3 shows a comparison of physical properties with other adsorbents.

[Table 3]

The diatomaceous earth is pulverized by a suitable pulverizer to 50 mesh or less. Since diatomaceous earth is soft, even if it is usually mined in blocks of about 10 cm or less, it can easily be decomposed into small blocks of about 2-3 cm or less if left for a long time or dried. It is preferred to grind this small mass. If it is not dried before the pulverization, it will stick to the pulverizer and cannot be pulverized. A molding aid, a thickener,
A pore-forming agent, a sintering aid and the like may be added. The present inventor has found that it is extremely difficult to granulate diatomaceous earth powder only with water, but as a result of much effort and various studies, it has been found that diatomaceous earth powder can be granulated only with water.

The diatomaceous earth powder is formed into a fireworks ball by using a pot mill-type or bread-type pelletizer for about 4 to 4 hours.
Primary granulation is performed with a target grain of 5 mm. The size of the seed can be changed according to the use of the product.

After the primary granulation, sieving is performed, and small grains smaller than the seed grains are returned to the primary granulation and re-granulated, whereby seed grains having a substantially uniform size are obtained. Primary granulation, unlike secondary granulation, cannot be granulated when the granulator is heated.

When the seed granules are subjected to secondary granulation, it is necessary to heat the granulator. The granulator heats the container to about 30 ° C. or more from the outer wall with an open flame so that it is slightly warm to the touch, but the upper limit is about 60 ° C. or less from the economic viewpoint such as heating cost. The preferred temperature is about 40-50 ° C.

In the secondary granulation, diatomaceous earth powder and water are supplied to the seed particles and the granulation is performed while heating the granulator while keeping the surface of the seed particles dry and uniform. Grains are obtained. If not heated, it takes a long time and particles having a uniform particle size cannot be obtained. Usually, granules with a diameter of about 18 mm are granulated for drinking water, granules with a diameter of about 10 mm for baths and pools, and granules with a diameter of about 40 mm for food.

The secondary granules are dried to remove adhering water. Drying is preferably natural drying in terms of quality and cost,
In particular, natural drying avoiding direct sunlight is preferable, but forced drying may be used if the secondary granules are not cracked and the cost is acceptable.

The sintering cannot be performed by a simple sintering method, and requires two-stage sintering. Primary firing is 10 ~ at 150 ~ 250 ℃
It takes a long time of 20 hours. If the temperature is low, the firing time is long, and if it is high, the firing time is short. Usually 180-220
10-14 hours at ° C.

The secondary firing is performed at 600 to 900 ° C. for 4 to 24 hours. Usually, drinking water and food water are baked at about 800-860 ° C for 20-24 hours so that sulfur content S, which contained about 1.1% before baking, is reduced to about 0.25% after baking. Since it is preferable to have an appropriate sulfur content S, it is fired for a short time of about 4 to 5 hours. Gas furnace and oil furnace are not good for firing, but electric furnace is good.

[0019]

As is clear from Table 3, the conventional adsorbent has a small pore radius, so that it can adsorb only odor and cannot perform various kinds of ion exchange, but the diatomaceous earth used in the present invention has a large pore radius. Therefore, not only can the odor be absorbed, but also a large amount of ions can be exchanged.

In the present invention, the diatomaceous earth as exemplified in Tables 1 and 2 has been struggled to granulate and burn without destroying the large pores, and has finally succeeded. When granulated into a spherical shape, the porosity can be maintained and the handling is easy.
Easy to fill evenly. In addition, even if the surface becomes rough due to the sintered powder, the rough surface does not fall, so that the porosity can be maintained and the activity ability does not fall. The primary firing at low temperature does not hinder the formation of porosity between the diatomaceous earth particles due to gas release, and the secondary firing involves firing at a temperature at which the diatomaceous earth particles are not melted and vitrified, so the pores are not blocked. .

The water-activating agent of the present invention has a hexagonal diagonal structure and is porous, so that it adsorbs impurity rust and scale in water. In addition, since it contains abundant minerals such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, etc., it makes water delicious, has a beautiful skin effect, and has an action of promoting animal and plant growth. Furthermore, water is activated as a small group (cluster) of 3 to 4 molecules of water molecules centering on mineral ions, and since it has a far-infrared radiation effect, the bad smell of water and dirt are reduced, and the water is boiled quickly. It is economical, has a mellow hot water, has a hot-spring effect, has the effect of making cooking, boiled food, tempura, pickles, etc. delicious and quick. Has the effect of improving the longevity. Furthermore, insoluble lime, heavy metals, pesticides and the like in the soil are also decomposed by ion exchange, suppressing the growth of various bacteria, actively activating useful microorganisms and plankton, and neutralizing acid rain.

The water-activating agent of the present invention contains a large amount of minerals such as Mg and Ca, and elutes an appropriate amount of long-term minerals in water. , Reducing the water molecule population. Normally, the reduced water molecule population also returns to the original large water molecule population over time.However, the water activating agent of the present invention emits far-infrared rays having a wavelength of 6 to 14 μm. The outer electrons of are excited from the ground state and activated, so that the water molecule population is small for a long time. For example, if the number of water molecules that gather around ions of minerals such as Ca is three molecules, for example, 12
Mineral components such as Ca work more easily than molecules. For this reason, the water activating agent of the present invention has high activity and is not a mere water purifying agent.

Table 4 shows an analysis example of the water activating agent of the present invention, Table 5 shows an analysis example when water is treated, and FIG. 1 shows an example of a far-infrared spectrum. FIG. 2 shows an example of the measured vibration wavelength.

[Table 5]

When a water treatment agent which elutes a large amount of calcium ions is used, the pH increases to about 8 to 9, but the water activating agent of the present invention seems to reach equilibrium at an elution amount of about 200 mg / l.
A weak alkalinity of about pH 7.2 is maintained. When the pool water is treated, residual chlorine is adsorbed and chlorine odor is reduced. This is based on the following reaction formula.

(Equation 1)

The water activating agent of the present invention has a large ion exchange capacity. Due to its high potency, it requires less usage. It can be used in the receiving tank by replacing it with a conventional water purifier. No filtering agent is required. In hot springs and pools, it can be used as it is for the filtering agent of the filter. When the treated water is used for agriculture, it becomes difficult to attach pests to the plants, so that pesticides can be reduced. It also has the effect of absorbing used pesticides and reducing phytotoxicity.
