Description
本発明は、水道水を浄化する共に軟化する軟化用浄水器及びそれに用いられる浄水器用カートリッジに関する。 The present invention relates to a water purifier for softening that purifies and softens tap water and a cartridge for a water purifier used therein.
軟水の効能として、(a)お茶やコーヒーの味をまろやかにする、(b)調理器具等のスケール発生を防止する、(c)石鹸の泡立ちが良くなる、(d)グラス等容器へのウォーターマーク発生を抑制する等がある。このため、従来から、軟化機能を有する浄水器が広く利用されている。 The effects of soft water include (a) mellowing the taste of tea and coffee, (b) preventing scale generation in cooking utensils, (c) improving the foaming of soap, and (d) water in containers such as glasses. There are measures such as suppressing the generation of marks. For this reason, water purifiers having a softening function have been widely used conventionally.
水の軟化方法としては、(1)カチオン交換樹脂を用いる方法、(2)NF(Nanofiltration;ナノろ過)又はRO(Reverse Osmosis;逆浸透)膜を用いる方法、(3)アルカリ剤を添加することにより沈澱したものを除去する方法などがある。これらの中で、エネルギー効率や装置の維持管理面から、上記(1)のカチオン交換樹脂を用いる方法が優れている。 As a method for softening water, (1) a method using a cation exchange resin, (2) a method using an NF (Nanofiltration; nanofiltration) or RO (Reverse Osmosis) membrane, and (3) adding an alkaline agent. There is a method of removing the sedimented material. Among these, the method using the cation exchange resin described in (1) above is excellent from the viewpoint of energy efficiency and maintenance of the apparatus.
軟化用浄水器として、カチオン交換樹脂を用いる方法を選択した場合、硬度除去性能が重要視されることはもちろんのこと、カチオン交換樹脂自体からの不純物の溶出により、処理水品質を損なわないことも重要である。 When a method using a cation exchange resin is selected as the water purifier for softening, not only the hardness removal performance is emphasized, but also the quality of treated water is not impaired by the elution of impurities from the cation exchange resin itself. is important.
カチオン交換樹脂自体からの溶出物対策としては、例えば、特開平7−204631号公報(特許文献1)に、カチオン交換樹脂と活性炭を混合した浄水器が開示されている。 As a countermeasure against elution from the cation exchange resin itself, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-204631 (Patent Document 1) discloses a water purifier in which a cation exchange resin and activated carbon are mixed.
しかし、引用文献1の浄水器であってもなお、カチオン交換樹脂からの溶出物の溶出が起こることがあるとの問題、特に一定時間静置後、通水再開初期の軟化水への溶出物の溶出量が多いとの問題があった。 However, even with the water purifier of Cited Document 1, there is a problem that eluate from the cation exchange resin may elute, especially eluate to softened water at the initial stage of resumption of water flow after standing for a certain period of time. There was a problem that the amount of elution was large.
従って、本発明の目的は、カチオン交換樹脂からの溶出物の溶出を低減することができる浄水器用カートリッジ及びそれが用いられている軟化用浄水器を提供することにある。 Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a water purifier cartridge capable of reducing elution of eluate from a cation exchange resin and a water purifier for softening in which the cartridge is used.
本発明者らは、上記課題を解決すべく、鋭意検討を行った結果、(1)塩形の強酸性カチオン交換樹脂と粒状活性炭を混合すれば、強酸性カチオン交換樹脂の溶出物の浄水器出口からの溶出を抑制することは可能だが、その混合状態によって、溶出量が異なること、(2)特に、一定時間静置(浸漬)後、通水再開初期の溶出物の溶出量を抑えるには、混合層最下部の混合状態が、均一又は活性炭リッチであることが重要であり、混合層最下部の混合状態が、強酸性カチオン交換樹脂リッチの場合、粒状活性炭での溶出物の除去が不十分となること、(3)塩形の強酸性カチオン交換樹脂の均一係数及び調和平均径等の塩形の強酸性カチオン交換樹脂の物性を特定の範囲に規定することにより、混合層最下部の混合状態を均一又は活性炭リッチにできるため、一定時間静置(浸漬)後、通水再開初期の溶出物の溶出量を低減できることを、見出した。更に、本発明者らは、粒状活性炭の粒度分布、真密度、均一度等の物性を特定の範囲に規定することにより、上記効果が高まることを見出した。 As a result of diligent studies to solve the above problems, the present inventors have (1) mixed a salt-type strongly acidic cation exchange resin with granular activated carbon to purify the eluate of the strongly acidic cation exchange resin. It is possible to suppress elution from the outlet, but the amount of elution differs depending on the mixed state. (2) In particular, to suppress the amount of elution at the initial stage of resuming water flow after standing (immersing) for a certain period of time. It is important that the mixed state at the bottom of the mixed layer is uniform or rich in activated carbon, and when the mixed state at the bottom of the mixed layer is rich in strongly acidic cation exchange resin, the eluate can be removed with granular activated carbon. Insufficiency, (3) By defining the physical properties of the salt-type strongly acidic cation exchange resin such as the uniformity coefficient and harmonized average diameter of the salt-type strongly acidic cation exchange resin within a specific range, the bottom of the mixed layer It has been found that the elution amount of the eluate at the initial stage of resuming water flow can be reduced after standing (immersing) for a certain period of time because the mixed state of the above can be made uniform or rich in activated carbon. Furthermore, the present inventors have found that the above effects are enhanced by defining physical properties such as particle size distribution, true density, and uniformity of granular activated carbon within a specific range.

本発明の浄水器用カートリッジに係る軟化処理材は、塩形の強酸性カチオン交換樹脂と、粒状活性炭と、の混合物により構成されている。軟化処理材は、本発明の浄水器用カートリッジのカートリッジ容器内の軟化処理材の充填領域に充填されて、軟化処理材層を形成している。 The softening material according to the cartridge for a water purifier of the present invention is composed of a mixture of a salt-type strong acid cation exchange resin and granular activated carbon. The softening material is filled in the filling region of the softening material in the cartridge container of the cartridge for a water purifier of the present invention to form a softening material layer.
本発明の浄水器用カートリッジに係る塩形の強酸性カチオン交換樹脂は、均一係数が1.00〜1.20であり、且つ、調和平均径が500〜700μmである塩形の強酸性カチオン交換樹脂である。 The salt-type strong acid cation exchange resin according to the cartridge for a water purifier of the present invention has a uniformity coefficient of 1.00 to 1.20 and a harmonic mean diameter of 500 to 700 μm. Is.
塩形の強酸性カチオン交換樹脂の基体は、スチレン−ジビニルベンゼン共重合体である。塩形の強酸性カチオン交換樹脂の基体を形成する樹脂材は、一定時間水中で静置されると、例えば、夜間に軟化浄水器が使用されないために、夜間軟化処理材の充填領域に満たされた水道水中に浸漬されると、溶出物を溶出する。 The substrate of the salt-type strong acid cation exchange resin is a styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer. When the resin material forming the substrate of the salt-shaped strong acid cation exchange resin is allowed to stand in water for a certain period of time, for example, since the softening water purifier is not used at night, the filling area of the night softening treatment material is filled. When immersed in tap water, the eluate is eluted.
塩形の強酸性カチオン交換樹脂のカチオン交換基は、スルホン酸基である。また、塩形の強酸性カチオン樹脂の塩形は、Na形、K形、又はLi形であり、Na形、K形が好ましい。 The cation exchange group of the salt-type strong acid cation exchange resin is a sulfonic acid group. The salt form of the salt-type strongly acidic cationic resin is Na-type, K-type, or Li-type, and Na-type or K-type is preferable.
塩形の強酸性カチオン交換樹脂としては、例えば、ダウケミカル製のアンバージェット1220Na、住化ケムテックス製のイマックHP1220Naが挙げられる。また、塩形の強酸性カチオン交換樹脂としては、強酸性カチオン交換樹脂であるダウエックス製のアンバージェット1020H等を、Na形、K形、Li形に変換したものでもよい。 Examples of the salt-type strong acid cation exchange resin include Amberjet 1220Na manufactured by Dow Chemical and Immac HP1220Na manufactured by Sumika Chemtex. Further, as the salt-type strong acid cation exchange resin, a strong acid cation exchange resin such as Dowex's Amber Jet 1020H may be converted into a Na type, a K type, or a Li type.
塩形の強酸性カチオン交換樹脂の均一係数は、1.00〜1.20、好ましくは1.00〜1.15、特に好ましくは1.00〜1.10である。塩形の強酸性カチオン交換樹脂の均一係数が、上記範囲であることにより、溶出物の溶出量を少なくすることができる。なお、均一係数の測定方法であるが、先ず、レーザー回折散乱法粒度分布測定装置による粒度分布測定により、粒子の大きさを測定して、分布を作図し、得られる分布図より、ふるい残留百分率累計値(体積基準)が90%及び40%に対応するふるいの目開き(mm)を算出する。次いで、40%に対応する目開き(mm)に対する90%に対応する目開き(mm)の比を計算して、得られる値を均一係数とする。均一係数が小さいほど、粒子が均一であることを示す。 The uniformity coefficient of the salt-type strongly acidic cation exchange resin is 1.00 to 1.20, preferably 1.00 to 1.15, and particularly preferably 1.00 to 1.10. When the uniformity coefficient of the salt-type strongly acidic cation exchange resin is within the above range, the elution amount of the eluate can be reduced. Regarding the method for measuring the uniformity coefficient, first, the particle size is measured by the particle size distribution measurement device using the laser diffraction / scattering method particle size distribution measuring device, the distribution is plotted, and the sieve residual percentage is obtained from the obtained distribution map. Calculate the mesh size (mm) of the sieve corresponding to the cumulative value (volume basis) of 90% and 40%. Next, the ratio of the opening (mm) corresponding to 90% to the opening (mm) corresponding to 40% is calculated, and the obtained value is used as the uniformity coefficient. The smaller the uniformity coefficient, the more uniform the particles.
塩形の強酸性カチオン交換樹脂の調和平均径は、500〜700μm、好ましくは550〜700μm、特に好ましくは550〜650μmである。塩形の強酸性カチオン交換樹脂の調和平均径が、上記範囲であることにより、溶出物の溶出量を少なくすることができる。 The harmonic mean diameter of the salt-type strong acid cation exchange resin is 500 to 700 μm, preferably 550 to 700 μm, and particularly preferably 550 to 650 μm. When the harmonic mean diameter of the salt-type strongly acidic cation exchange resin is within the above range, the amount of eluate elution can be reduced.
塩形の強酸性カチオン交換樹脂の真密度は、好ましくは1.20〜1.40g/mL、特に好ましくは1.25〜1.35g/mLである。塩形の強酸性カチオン交換樹脂の真密度が、上記範囲にあることにより、溶出物の溶出量を少なくすることができる。塩形の強酸性カチオン交換樹脂の真密度が、上記範囲外だと、塩形の強酸性カチオン交換樹脂と粒状活性炭の混合性が悪くなる。特に、塩形の強酸性カチオン交換樹脂の真密度が、上記範囲を超えると、最下層に存在する塩形の強酸性カチオン交換樹脂の混合比率が大きくなり過ぎるので、溶出物の溶出量を少なくすることができない。 The true density of the salt-type strong acid cation exchange resin is preferably 1.20 to 1.40 g / mL, particularly preferably 1.25 to 1.35 g / mL. When the true density of the salt-type strongly acidic cation exchange resin is within the above range, the elution amount of the eluate can be reduced. If the true density of the salt-type strong acid cation exchange resin is out of the above range, the miscibility of the salt-type strong acid cation exchange resin and the granular activated carbon becomes poor. In particular, when the true density of the salt-type strong acid cation exchange resin exceeds the above range, the mixing ratio of the salt-type strong acid cation exchange resin existing in the lowermost layer becomes too large, so that the elution amount of the eluate is small. Can not do it.
本発明の浄水器用カートリッジに係る粒状活性炭は、球形又は不定形の粒状の活性炭である。粒状活性炭としては、木粉系、ヤシガラ系、フェノール樹脂系、石油コークス系、石炭コークス系、ピッチ系等の原料が賦活された材料が挙げられる。粒状活性炭としては、例えば、フタムラ社製の太閤活性炭CW480PGR、CN480Gや、クラレ製のクラレコールGW−B等が挙げられる。 The granular activated carbon according to the cartridge for a water purifier of the present invention is a spherical or amorphous granular activated carbon. Examples of the granular activated carbon include materials in which raw materials such as wood flour, coconut husk, phenolic resin, petroleum coke, coal coke, and pitch are activated. Examples of the granular activated carbon include Taiko activated carbon CW480PGR and CN480G manufactured by Futamura, and Kuraraycol GW-B manufactured by Kuraray.
粒状活性炭は、体積基準の粒度分布において、0.180〜2.36mmの範囲に90%以上存在しているものが好ましく、0.180〜2.36mmの範囲に95%以上存在しているものが特に好ましい。粒状活性炭の粒度分布が上記範囲にあることにより、溶出物の溶出量を少なくすることができる。粒状活性炭の粒度分布が、上記範囲外だと、塩形の強酸性カチオン交換樹脂と粒状活性炭の混合性が悪くなる。特に、粒状活性炭の粒度分布が、上記範囲未満だと、最下層に存在する塩形の強酸性カチオン交換樹脂の混合比率が大きくなり過ぎるので、溶出物の溶出量を少なくすることができない。 The granular activated carbon preferably has 90% or more in the range of 0.180 to 2.36 mm, and 95% or more in the range of 0.180 to 2.36 mm in the volume-based particle size distribution. Is particularly preferable. When the particle size distribution of the granular activated carbon is within the above range, the elution amount of the eluate can be reduced. If the particle size distribution of the granular activated carbon is out of the above range, the miscibility of the salt-type strongly acidic cation exchange resin and the granular activated carbon becomes poor. In particular, if the particle size distribution of the granular activated carbon is less than the above range, the mixing ratio of the salt-type strong acid cation exchange resin existing in the lowermost layer becomes too large, so that the elution amount of the eluate cannot be reduced.
粒状活性炭の真密度は、好ましくは1.8〜2.3g/mL、特に好ましくは1.9〜2.3g/mLである。活性炭の真密度が、上記範囲にあることにより、溶出物の溶出量を少なくする効果が高まる。 The true density of the granular activated carbon is preferably 1.8 to 2.3 g / mL, particularly preferably 1.9 to 2.3 g / mL. When the true density of the activated carbon is in the above range, the effect of reducing the elution amount of the eluate is enhanced.
粒状活性炭の比表面積は、好ましくは600〜1800m2/g、特に好ましくは800〜1800m2/gである。また、粒状活性炭の全細孔容積は、好ましくは0.4〜1.4mL/g、特に好ましくは0.6〜1.4mL/gである。 The specific surface area of the granular activated carbon is preferably 600 to 1800 m 2 / g, particularly preferably 800 to 1800 m 2 / g. The total pore volume of the granular activated carbon is preferably 0.4 to 1.4 mL / g, particularly preferably 0.6 to 1.4 mL / g.
軟化処理材中、粒状活性炭に対する塩形の強酸性カチオン交換樹脂の混合比(塩形の強酸性カチオン交換樹脂/粒状活性炭)は、体積基準で、1〜20であることが好ましく、5〜10であることが特に好ましい。軟化処理材中、粒状活性炭に対する塩形の強酸性カチオン交換樹脂の混合比(塩形の強酸性カチオン交換樹脂/粒状活性炭)が、上記範囲にあることにより、溶出物の溶出量を少なくする効果が高くなる。 The mixing ratio of the salt-type strong acid cation exchange resin to the granular activated carbon (salt-type strong acid cation exchange resin / granular activated carbon) in the softened material is preferably 1 to 20 on a volume basis, and 5 to 10 Is particularly preferable. The effect of reducing the elution amount of the eluate when the mixing ratio of the salt-type strong acid cation exchange resin to the granular activated carbon (salt-type strong acid cation exchange resin / granular activated carbon) in the softened material is within the above range. Will be higher.
本発明の浄水器用カートリッジは、水道水の供給口と、本発明の軟化用浄水器の筐体内に形成されている水道水の供給経路とが繋がり、且つ、軟化水の排出口と、本発明の軟化用浄水器の筐体内に形成されている軟化水の排出経路とが繋がるように、本発明の軟化用浄水器の筐体内に設置される。 In the water purifier cartridge of the present invention, the tap water supply port and the tap water supply path formed in the housing of the softening water purifier of the present invention are connected, and the softened water discharge port and the present invention It is installed in the housing of the water purifier for softening of the present invention so as to be connected to the discharge path of the softened water formed in the housing of the water purifier for softening.
そして、水道水が、本発明の軟化浄水器内に供給され、本発明の軟化用浄水器の筐体内の水道水の供給経路を経て、軟化処理材の充填領域内に供給されて、軟化処理材層に通液される。水道水が、軟化処理材層に通過するときに、軟化処理材により、水道水中の硬度成分であるCaイオンが、軟化処理材の塩形の強酸性カチオン交換樹脂のNaイオン、Kイオン又はLiイオンに交換されて、水道水が軟化されると共に、軟化処理材中の粒状活性炭により、水道水中の塩素分、有機物等が除去されて、水道水が浄化される。軟化及び浄化された処理水は、本発明の軟化浄水器の筐体内の軟化水の排出経路を経て、本発明の軟化用浄水器の外に排出され、軟化水として使用される。 Then, tap water is supplied into the softening water purifier of the present invention, is supplied into the filling region of the softening treatment material via the tap water supply path in the housing of the softening water purifier of the present invention, and is softened. The liquid is passed through the material layer. When tap water passes through the softening treatment material layer, the softening treatment material causes Ca ions, which are hardness components in tap water, to be Na ions, K ions or Li of the salt-type strongly acidic cation exchange resin of the softening treatment material. The tap water is softened by being exchanged with ions, and the granular activated charcoal in the softening treatment material removes chlorine and organic substances in the tap water to purify the tap water. The softened and purified treated water is discharged to the outside of the softening water purifier of the present invention through a discharge path of the softened water in the housing of the softened water purifier of the present invention, and is used as softened water.
カチオン交換樹脂と水道水が接触したときに、カチオン交換樹脂から水道水への溶出物の溶出が起こる。そして、カチオン交換樹脂と水道水との接触時間が短ければ、水道水中の溶出物の濃度は非常に低いので、問題とならない。一方、カチオン交換樹脂と水道水との接触時間が長くなると、水道水中の溶出物の濃度が高くなってしまう。 When the cation exchange resin comes into contact with tap water, elution of the eluate from the cation exchange resin into tap water occurs. If the contact time between the cation exchange resin and tap water is short, the concentration of the eluate in tap water is very low, so that there is no problem. On the other hand, if the contact time between the cation exchange resin and tap water is long, the concentration of the eluate in tap water becomes high.
ここで、カチオン交換樹脂が充填されている軟化用浄水器が、一定時間使用されないまま静置されると、例えば、夜間に使用されないままであると、浄水器用カートリッジの軟化処理材の充填領域内で、充填領域内に滞留している水道水に、軟化処理材が一定時間浸漬された状態が続く。つまり、軟化浄水器が、一定時間使用されないまま静置されているときは、水道水とカチオン交換樹脂とが長時間接触している。そのため、水道水の通水を再開した直後の軟化水中の溶出物の濃度が高くなってしまう。 Here, if the softening water purifier filled with the cation exchange resin is left unused for a certain period of time, for example, if it is left unused at night, it is within the filling region of the softening material of the water purifier cartridge. Then, the softened material is immersed in the tap water staying in the filling region for a certain period of time. That is, when the softened water purifier is left unused for a certain period of time, the tap water and the cation exchange resin are in contact with each other for a long time. Therefore, the concentration of the eluate in the softened water immediately after the resumption of tap water flow becomes high.
それに対して、本発明の軟化用浄水器が、一定時間使用されないまま静置されると、例えば、夜間に使用されないままであると、本発明の浄水器用カートリッジの軟化処理材の充填領域内で、充填領域内に滞留している水道水に、軟化処理材が一定時間浸漬された状態が続き、水道水とカチオン交換樹脂とが長時間接触したとしても、本発明の浄水器用カートリッジでは、本発明に規定の物性値を有する塩形の強酸性カチオン交換樹脂と粒状活性炭とが混合されている軟化処理材を用いることにより、あるいは、本発明に規定の物性値を有する塩形の強酸性カチオン交換樹脂と本発明に規定の物性値を有する粒状活性炭とが混合されている軟化処理材が用いることにより、上記のような、一定時間使用されないまま静置された後の通液再開直後の軟化水中の溶出物の濃度を低くすることができる。 On the other hand, if the water purifier for softening of the present invention is left unused for a certain period of time, for example, if it is left unused at night, within the filling region of the softening treatment material of the cartridge for the water purifier of the present invention. Even if the softened material is continuously immersed in the tap water staying in the filling region for a certain period of time and the tap water and the cation exchange resin come into contact with each other for a long time, the cartridge for the water purifier of the present invention is used. By using a softened material in which a salt-type strongly acidic cation exchange resin having the physical properties specified in the present invention and granular activated carbon are mixed, or by using a salt-shaped strong acidic cation having the physical properties specified in the present invention. By using a softening treatment material in which a replacement resin and granular activated carbon having the specified physical properties of the present invention are mixed, the softening immediately after resuming liquid flow after being left unused for a certain period of time as described above. The concentration of eluates in water can be reduced.
本発明の軟化用浄水器は、本発明の浄水器用カートリッジと、本発明の浄水器用カートリッジを収納する筐体と、を有することを特徴とする軟化用浄水器である。 The water purifier for softening of the present invention is a water purifier for softening, which comprises a cartridge for the water purifier of the present invention and a housing for accommodating the cartridge for the water purifier of the present invention.
