Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide the titled apparatus for easy culture of green vegetables, etc., while electrolyzing water, preventing the precipitation of metallic ion and the fluctuation of hydrogen ion concentration in the hydroponic solution, by putting a cathode in a case made of an ion-selective permeable membrane and placing the case in a hydroponic solution tank. CONSTITUTION:A cathode 13 is put into a case 15 having an ion-selective permeable membrane 14 stretched over one or more wall faces of the case. The case 15 is placed in a hydroponic solution tank 11 made of e.g. a synthetic resin and a DC potential is applied to the cathode and an anode 12 of the form of e.g. a mesh. Vegetables or flowers are cultured by using the hydroponic solution.

Conventional technology A conventional hydroponic cultivation system that electrolyzes the water in the nutrient solution and supplies the generated oxygen to the nutrient solution to ensure dissolved oxygen in the nutrient solution is shown in Figure 2. Nutrient tank 1 as shown
An anode 2 and an anode 3 made of corrosion-resistant electrodes such as carbon electrodes are placed inside, and a DC voltage is applied to these electrodes 2 and 3 from a DC power source (not shown) made of a solar cell or the like. Water was electrolyzed by passing an electric current through the nutrient solution.

As a result, metal ions, particularly calcium ions and magnesium ions, in the nutrient solution decrease, and in extreme cases, there is a problem that symptoms of deficiency of these metal ions occur in the cultivated plants.

Conversely, anions, such as nitrate and sulfate ions, have a higher tendency to ionize than hydroxide ions, so even if they are attracted to the anode 2 and approach the anode 2, they will give electrons to the anode 2 and be decomposed. There isn't. In other words, at the anode 2, hydroxide ions were always decomposed into water and oxygen.

Therefore, the hydrogen ion concentration in the nutrient solution gradually increases until the hydrogen ion concentration in the nutrient solution reaches 2 to 3, which has a negative effect on the roots of the plants.

Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above-mentioned conventional problems, the hydroponic cultivation apparatus according to the present invention includes a pair of electrodes arranged in a nutrient solution tank in which a nutrient solution is stored and roots of plants are grown. However, the cathode is disposed within a housing having at least one wall made of an ion selectively permeable membrane.

Function: When a nutrient solution is placed in the nutrient solution tank and a DC voltage is applied between the anode and cathode, a current flows through the nutrient solution between these electrodes and electrolysis occurs.

The hydroxide ions in the nutrient solution are attracted to the anode, give electrons to the anode surface, and are decomposed into water and oxygen.

Further, metal ions such as calcium ions and magnesium ions in the nutrient solution are attracted to the cathode side, but are blocked by the ion selective permeation membrane provided in the housing and do not reach the cathode. Hydrogen ions in the water inside the housing gather at the cathode,
Electrons are supplied from the cathode surface to form hydrogen atoms and further hydrogen molecules, resulting in hydrogen gas.

Therefore, calcium ions and magnesium ions, which have a lower tendency to ionize than hydrogen ions, do not precipitate on the cathode surface. In addition, the same amount of hydrogen ions as the hydroxide ions decomposed at the anode to become water and oxygen become hydrogen gas at the cathode, so the balance between hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions in the nutrient solution is always maintained, and the hydrogen ion concentration does not change abnormally.

In FIG. 1, numeral 11 is a nutrient solution tank made of synthetic resin that is highly resistant to salt water, in which the nutrient solution is stored and the roots of plants are grown in it. In this nutrient solution tank 11, an anode 12 and a cathode 13 made of carbon are arranged. The anode 12 is formed in a net shape, and the cathode 13 is a bottomed cylinder made of synthetic resin, with a top surface l (a housing 15 having a partition wall with an ion selective permeation membrane 14).
It is set inside. Even if a DC voltage is applied to the positive and negative electrodes 12 and 13), the metal ions in the nutrient solution will pass through the ion selectively permeable membrane 1.
4, it is blocked here and cannot reach cathode 13,
Therefore, it remains as an ion. Hydrogen ions in the housing 15 gather at the cathode 13, receive electrons from the cathode 13, and become hydrogen gas. Further, on the anode 12 side, hydroxide ions in the nutrient solution are attracted to the anode 12, giving electrons to the anode 12 and decomposing it into water and oxygen, as in conventional hydroponic cultivation equipment. Since other nitrate ions, sulfate ions, etc. present as fertilizer components in the nutrient solution have a greater tendency to form ions than hydroxide ions, they are not decomposed at the anode 12 while hydroxide ions are present.

従って、陽極12側では電解により常に必要な酸素を発

Therefore, while the necessary oxygen is always generated by electrolysis on the anode 12 side, metal ion precipitation that occurs in conventional hydroponic cultivation devices does not occur on the cathode 13.

そのため養液中の水素イオン濃度が異常に変動すること
もない。
Therefore, the hydrogen ion concentration in the nutrient solution does not fluctuate abnormally.

It has the useful effect of being very easy to use and does not cause any adverse effects.
