The present invention relates to a water purifying agent used in a water purifier. In recent years, it has become popular to install water purifiers on water pipe faucets, etc., in order to remove chlorine and organic substances that cause bad odors from tap water, thereby producing high-quality, delicious water. Usually, activated carbon is the main water purifying agent used in water purifiers, and metal scavengers such as ion exchangers and zeolites are also used. Activated carbon is designed to purify water by adsorbing organic and malodorous substances. If too much chlorine is removed, problems such as microbial growth will occur if the product is left unused for a long period of time, which is a major problem from a hygienic standpoint. In addition, activated carbon cannot remove harmful heavy metals such as Cu and Pb, so ion exchangers are used, but in addition to these heavy metals, K, which is necessary for health,
Useful metals such as Mg and Ca are also removed, which poses a problem. In addition, in recent years, ultraviolet germicidal lamps and ozone generators have been used in combination with water to prevent spoilage, and silver-coated activated carbon has been used, but no method has been found to sterilize or reduce parasite eggs in a way that does not harm health. Not yet. The present inventor has completed the present invention as a result of intensive research to develop a water purifying agent that does not cause such inconveniences. The present invention is a water purifying agent for drinking (raw) water, which uses a chitin-based substance and activated carbon in combination. By purifying drinking water or drinking raw water using the water purifying agent of the present invention, it is possible to obtain sanitary water that is delicious and never spoils due to accumulation of water in the water purifier. Chitin-based substances include chitin, chitosan, and their derivatives, such as acetylated products and carboxymethylated products, and because they are polymers of glucosamine, they are effective in removing heavy metals, especially Hg, Cd, and Cu, and organic matter. It also has bactericidal and insecticidal effects. No microbial growth was observed even if the product was left unused for a long period of time. Chitin is obtained by decalcifying and deproteinizing the skins of arthropods, especially crustaceans such as crabs and shrimps. Chitosan is made by deacetylating chitin by heat-treating it in a concentrated aqueous solution of caustic soda. Highly deacetylated chitosan is soluble in dilute hydrochloric acid and dilute acetic acid, but hardly soluble in near-neutral water. However, when used in swollen form, its constituent glucosamine can scavenge organic matter and heavy metals in water. Derivatives of chitin and chitosan include acetylated products, carboxymethylated products, hydroxyethylated products, hydroxypropylated products, sulfates, nitrates, phosphoric oxides, and the like. The water purifying agent of the present invention is intended for drinking water such as tap water, well water, rainwater, river water, or its raw water, and may be incorporated into a water purifier for such water. For example, a water purifier attached to a faucet or a natural water filtration device with a filter to prevent spillage is good. The water purifying agent uses a chitin-based substance and activated carbon in combination, and it is possible to use a mixture of the two, a granular product, or a product supported on a carrier. Other carriers include ion exchangers, zeolites, silica, alumina, silica alumina, diatomaceous earth, pumice,
Coral, calcium carbonate, etc. can also be used. The water purifying agent of the present invention may be in the form of granules, powder, film, or fibers. The combination of chitin-based material and activated carbon may be used in a ratio of 1:20 to 2. A mixture may also be prepared by using 5 to 50% by weight of chitin-based material based on activated carbon. In this case, the chitin-based material also functions as a binder for the activated carbon powder. To explain the form of this mixture using chitosan as an example, 5 to 50% by weight, preferably 10 to 30% by weight of chitosan based on powdered activated carbon is dissolved in an aqueous solution containing an acid such as hydrochloric acid, and a predetermined amount of chitosan is dissolved in an aqueous solution containing an acid such as hydrochloric acid. Add powdered activated carbon to make a paste. Next, when an aqueous solution of an alkali such as caustic soda or caustic potash is added to the mixture while stirring, chitosan is precipitated in the form of agglomerated activated carbon. This is separated from water or purified by tilt washing or filtration, and then either strongly compressed to remove water, or slightly dried to lower the water content. This is granulated using a granulator such as a meat chopper and dried to produce a water purifying agent for water purifiers. To form particles, the above paste is dropped into an alkaline aqueous solution through a fine-tipped tube while stirring to form porous spherical particles. Next, typical examples of the present invention will be shown. Example 1 A chamber with a filter was provided in a water purifier attached to a household water faucet, and a mixture of activated carbon and chitosan (degree of deacetylation: 80%) (80:20) was placed in the chamber at 100%
g and 20 g of zeolite are both delivered as 60-80 mesh granules. Tap water was passed through this water purifier, and the passed water (A) was measured for chlorine, potassium permanganate consumption, calcium, iron, the number of bacteria, etc. In addition, instead of the above-mentioned passed water (A), tap water that does not pass through a water purifier (B), 100 g of the above-mentioned activated carbon-chitosan mixture
Passed water when using 100g of activated carbon instead of
(C), water passing through when using 100g of chitosan (D)
was also treated in the same way. The results are shown in Table 1. Example 2 Chitosan powder is suspended to become a 2% aqueous solution. When hydrochloric acid is added to this while stirring to make 0.5N, chitosan becomes a clear viscous solution.
Add powdered activated carbon to this at a ratio of 8% to the liquid,
When stirred and dispersed, it becomes a viscous paste. When 48Be' caustic soda solution is added to this with strong stirring to make it neutral or slightly alkaline, chitosan will precipitate in the form of aggregated activated carbon. This was filtered out by vacuum filtration and washed to obtain activated carbon-chitosan solid. This was strongly compressed to dehydrate it, compressed and granulated using a meat grinder, and then dried to obtain granules. This was filled into a water purifier attached to a household tap and used as a water purifying agent. The water that passes through it has the same amount of potassium permanganate as commercially available silver-coated activated carbon, the iron content is 1/3, the number of general bacteria is 1/5 immediately after, and the amount of bacteria is 1/5 after being left at 30℃ for 2 days. There were only 250, which was extremely small.
