Description

[0001]
[Industrial applications]
The present invention relates to a contact reaction method and apparatus using activated mineral water, which uses activated mineral water having high permeability and antibacterial properties as treatment water.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In general, it is known that five or more molecules of water generally form a group (cluster) by hydrogen bonding. However, such clusters are disintegrated, or the pressure is increased / decreased, and divalent substances from inorganic substances are generated. For water in which water is a small molecule population centered on ions such as trivalent ions, for example, the permeability is increased, when used as fiber processing water, the dyeing property is improved, or the growth of various bacteria is suppressed. It is also known to have various effects such as doing.
[0003]
The applicant of the present invention also discloses a method for producing activated mineral water as food processing water or fiber processing water (Japanese Patent Publication No. 4-74074), in which a step of contacting and passing pressurized water to a predetermined inorganic substance is performed. The activated mineral water produced from the step of exposing the pressurized water that has passed through the process to normal pressure has the utility of suppressing the growth of microorganisms.
[0004]
In addition, the applicant of the present invention disclosed in Japanese Patent Application No. 4-282904 that heating and pressurizing activated mineral water and immersing fruits and other extracts using the activated mineral water as an extraction solvent can improve extraction efficiency in a relatively short time. It was proposed that a rich extract could be obtained.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, the field of use of activated mineral water is limited to the solvent for extract such as food and water for fiber processing as described above, and such activated mineral water is brought into contact with other solid substances, No method has been developed to discover the possibility of exerting any physicochemical effects on them.
[0006]
The same applies to activated mineral water to which an extract component extracted by the above-described extract production method is added.
[0007]
Furthermore, in the above-mentioned method for producing an extract, since the material to be treated is finely divided, such a contact reaction method cannot be applied efficiently without changing the shape of a solid substance. There are also problems.
[0008]
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to solve the above-described problems, and to make it possible to cause a contact reaction without changing the shape of the object to be treated when the activated mineral water is brought into contact with the solid object to be treated. In addition, the contact efficiency of the object to be treated in that case is to be increased as much as possible.
[0009]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, in the present invention, a step of bringing water pressurized to 5 to 30 atm into contact with a predetermined inorganic substance and storing the pressurized water passing through this step in an atmosphere having a pressure lower than the predetermined pressure. Activated mineral water is produced by circulating the pressurized water so that these steps are alternately repeated, and then the activated mineral water is pressurized to 2 to 30 atm to contact and pass through the solid workpiece. The catalytic reaction method used activated activated mineral water.
[0010]
Further, the extract to be extracted is immersed in the activated mineral water as an extraction solvent, and the separated extract is added to separately produced activated mineral water, which is pressurized to 2 to 30 atm to obtain a solid workpiece. This is a catalytic reaction method using activated mineral water consisting of contacting and passing. In this case, a means in which the extract is bamboo can be adopted.
[0011]
Alternatively, a pump for supplying pressurized water of 5 to 30 atm is provided in a water passage that is passed from a tank storing raw water, and a water permeation device that contacts and passes the pressurized water to an inorganic substance is provided downstream of the pump of the water passage. A return path for returning passing water to the storage tank is connected to the water permeation device, and a plurality of bypass water distribution paths with operation valves are provided in the water supply path or the return path downstream of the pump so as to be openable and closable. Activated mineral water is used in one of the bypass water distribution channels, with a water permeation device interposed between it and the solid to-be-processed object passing through the water flow, and in the other bypass water distribution channel, a pressure tank containing the extract to be extracted. It was a contact reactor.
[0012]
[Action]
It is not clear how the activated mineral water used in the present invention reacts with the solid object to be treated by contact. However, activated mineral water changes the state of water at the molecular level, that is, it is thought that water is clustered around these ions due to divalent and trivalent ions eluted from inorganic substances. It is considered that the metal has efficiently penetrated into the solid object to be treated and exerts at least some physicochemical action on its surface.
[0013]
In addition, if the extract is immersed in such activated mineral water, the extraction ability and the efficiency are good, and the immersion is repeated to obtain a concentrated extract in a relatively short time.
[0014]
In the catalytic reaction device, a plurality of bypass water distribution channels that are appropriately communicated are provided, and the bypass water distribution channel is closed by interposing a pressure tank containing an extract in one bypass water distribution channel to produce activated mineral water. Then, the bypass water distribution path is opened, and the activated mineral water pressurized by the pump is stored in the pressure tank, and the extraction process is performed in a circulating state. Then, by closing the one bypass distribution channel or adjusting the flow rate to a required amount, and opening the other bypass distribution channel interposed with the water permeation device containing the solid object to be treated, the activated mineral water is opened. And the liquid in which the above-mentioned extract is mixed can be efficiently brought into contact with the solid workpiece.
[0015]
【Example】
The inorganic substance used in the contact reaction method or the contact reaction apparatus of the present invention is, for example, a mineral inorganic substance, a metal oxide or a ceramic obtained by sintering them, a steel or a refined metal such as aluminum, etc. It can be adopted without limitation.
[0016]
As the above-mentioned mineral inorganic substances, ferromagnetic minerals such as basalt, andesite, and magnetite, which have a natural remanence and contain so-called minerals such as magnesium and iron, are particularly preferable. Also, favorable results have been obtained when a semiconductor substance such as germanium is added.
[0017]
The activated mineral water used in the present invention includes a step of bringing water pressurized to 5 to 30 atm into contact with a predetermined inorganic substance and a step of storing the pressurized water having passed through this step in an atmosphere having a pressure lower than the predetermined pressure. It is preferably obtained by alternately repeating the two steps, particularly by circulating pressurized water continuously for a long time of several hours to 24 hours or more. In this case, the water temperature of the activated mineral water immediately after production rises to about 70 to 80 ° C. without using a heating device such as a heater.
[0018]
The reason why pressurized water used for the production of activated mineral water is limited to 5 to 30 atm is that when the pressure is lower than 5 atm, the effect of suppressing the growth of microorganisms of the activated activated mineral generated is inferior, and the infiltration power to the extract is also inferior. On the other hand, a high pressure of 30 atm or more is not preferable because the manufacturing apparatus becomes large and lacks practicality.
[0019]
Activated mineral water used for contacting and passing through a solid workpiece is pressurized to 2 to 30 atm. This is because the contact efficiency is not sufficient under a pressure condition less than a predetermined range, and when the pressure exceeds 30 atm, the solid object to be treated is often physically collapsed.
[0020]
The solid object to be treated in the present invention is not particularly limited, and various substances can be adopted as long as the solid object to be treated is not destroyed even when the activated mineral water having the above-mentioned predetermined pressure is brought into contact. Specific examples include ceramics, glass, aluminum oxide (alumina), iron, steel, copper and other metals, carbon and other inorganic substances such as graphite and graphite, acrylonitrile / butadiene / styrene, which are composed of arbitrary components such as silicon carbide. Soybeans, rice, wheat, and the like are examples of copolymer resins (ABS resins), vinyl chloride resins, polyamide resins, polyester resins, and other resins, or water-insoluble or hardly soluble plants.
[0021]
When the treatment is performed within the above-described predetermined pressure range, for example, when treating an inorganic substance, a pressure condition in a relatively high pressure range is set, and when treating a plant or the like, its original shape is damaged. In order to avoid this, processing conditions in the low pressure range are adopted.
[0022]
In addition, the extract to be extracted according to the invention in which the extract is added to the activated mineral water separately produced to perform a contact reaction can be used without particular limitation as long as it is an animal or plant that does not contain a harmful component. .
[0023]
Examples of such a plant include vegetables such as cucumber, carrot, lettuce, tomato, soybean, sesame, garlic, ginkgo, and pepper, and edible algae such as chlorella, kelp, seaweed, and the like. When a medicinal effect derived from a plant component is expected, plum nuts, coconut palms, pine or cedar leaves or seeds, bamboos such as Moso bamboo, cypresses, or a dry distillate thereof (activated carbon) may be used. Examples of the animal body include hard proteins such as bird eggs such as chicken eggs, wool, silk thread, animal horns, and shells (chitin, chitosan).
[0024]
The rate at which the extract is added to the activated mineral water is not particularly limited, and may be appropriately determined depending on the concentration of the extract corresponding to the extract and the treatment purpose.

Things.
[0032]
Further, the bypass water distribution passage B has a pressure-resistant container having the same structure as that of the water permeation device 3, but in this case, a filter 15 is attached in order to filter the extract to be extracted to a desired degree. The filter 5 may be appropriately removed, or a filter having a large mesh may be selectively used.
[0033]
These bypass water distribution channels B, C, and D have operation valves 7 at both ends, and can be used alone or in combination by opening and closing these operation valves. The number 16 in the figure indicates a pressure gauge.
[0034]
An experimental example using the extract manufacturing apparatus of the above embodiment will be described below.
First, in order to prevent water from flowing into the pressure tank 1 and the water permeation device 3, 600 liters of the raw water is pressurized from the tank 4 to 25 atm by the pump 6 with the upstream and downstream operation valves 7 closed. Then, the path from the water permeation device A containing the basalt grains, the high-strength filter 13 and the return path 8 to the water storage tank 4 was continuously circulated for about 24 hours to produce 600 liters of activated mineral water.
[0035]
300 liters of this activated mineral water is stored in the tank 4 (capacity 1000 liters), and the remaining amount is taken out by opening the valve 17 and stored in a separately provided tank (not shown). The mineral water was heated to a water temperature of 95 ° C. by the heater 9 in order to increase the reaction efficiency.
