Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial application field] The present invention relates to a water treatment agent containing triiron tetroxide.

[Conventional technology]

Conventional water treatment agents, such as diatomaceous earth, are usually used as simple filtering agents, zeolite is used as an ion exchange agent to soften hard water, activated carbon is used as an adsorbent for harmful, odorous, colored substances, etc., and calcium carbonate, etc. The ξneral leaching minerals are used only for the purpose of elution of various mineral components such as calcium and adjustment of pH, and the resulting treated water is useful for improving physiological functions and adapting to the environment for living organisms. It was not possible to provide functionality such as increasing power, inhibiting abnormal growth of microorganisms, or inhibiting harmful ion reactions.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

Therefore, there is a need to develop water treatment agents that can impart functionality to living organisms in treated water, such as promoting physiological functions, enhancing environmental adaptability, inhibiting abnormal growth of microorganisms, and inhibiting harmful ion reactions. It was wanted.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In view of the above-mentioned circumstances, the inventors of the present invention have conducted extensive research and found that water soaked in triiron tetroxide or filtered through a layer of triiron tetroxide has the above-mentioned properties. The inventors have discovered that the problems can be solved and have completed the present invention.

Triiron tetroxide (Fe=04) of the water treatment agent according to the present invention
Naturally occurring magnetite (main component F6104)
Coarse grains, or triiron tetroxide as a purified product, or those obtained by manufacturing methods such as treating water-soluble divalent iron salts such as ferrous sulfate with alkali and nitric acid to form a base are used. can do.

The triiron tetroxide of the present invention can of course be used alone as a water treatment agent, and can also be used in combination with other water treatment aids. The mixing ratio is appropriately selected depending on the purpose of use.

Examples of the above-mentioned water treatment aids include silicic anhydride or diatomaceous earth, which are commonly used as filter aids, natural and basal zeolites that have an ion exchange effect on ions in hard water, and free chlorine and trihalomethane in tap water. Activated carbon for the purpose of adsorbing and removing trace amounts of harmful substances, odorous substances, and colored components, adsorbent mineral powder such as maifan stone, or calcium carbonate for the purpose of eluting various mineral components such as calcium and adjusting the pH. Mineral-eluting mineral powder such as coral powder can be used.

Further, the water treatment agent of the present invention is usually used after being processed and prepared into various forms and particle sizes such as powder, granules, pellets, or sintered crystals in order to be filled and installed in equipment.

The particle size is usually about 0.1 to 5.9 mm, preferably about 0.15 to 3.0 mm.

The water treatment method using the triiron tetroxide-containing water treatment agent of the present invention includes adding the water treatment agent to the raw water to be treated and stirring;
After standing, the water treatment agent is separated by filtration or the like to obtain treated water, or the water treatment agent is used as a filtration layer of a filtration device to filter raw water to obtain treated water.

The treatment equipment to be used needs to be designed in consideration of the contact area and contact time with the water to be treated.

〔Effect of the invention〕

By using the water treatment agent according to the present invention, in addition to the normal water purification effect, the microstructure of water changes due to the elution of extremely small amounts of hydrate caused by triiron tetroxide into the treated water. It is possible to produce the following effects.

Moreover, the effect can be maintained forever.

(1) Enhancement of physiological functions The treated water obtained by the water treatment agent of the present invention is ingested orally in a normal manner, and strengthens the bound water of proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates in the body, eliminating harmful substances and abnormal growth. By controlling cell activity, it is possible to normalize and promote cellular metabolic activity in vivo. Therefore, it has the effect of promoting the recovery and normalization of diseased and damaged areas and preventing aging of various cells, tissues, and organs.

(2) Increased ability to adapt to environmental changes Living organisms are constantly exposed to harmful irritants, and health problems due to this are inevitable. However, the microstructure of water treated with the water treatment agent of the present invention By improving this, it is possible to suppress the reactivity of harmful stimulants and increase the adaptability of the organism. In particular, this characteristic is evident in the ability of live fish to adapt to the breeding environment and the ability of plants to adapt to soil.

(3) Preventing abnormal growth of microorganisms We are constantly surrounded by microorganisms. However, normally, non-pathogenic microorganisms, such as intestinal tags, resident skin bacteria, and oral bacteria, can live and survive by living in appropriate areas.
Biological defense mechanisms work to suppress the growth of pathogenic bacteria. However, the current situation is that this biological defense mechanism is becoming more easily destroyed due to changes in diet and the environment.

The treated water according to the present invention can restore and maintain this biological defense mechanism in its normal state. Furthermore, by using the treated water according to the present invention in the fermentation industry using useful microorganisms, the growth of harmful bacteria can be prevented and the originally intended fermentation can be promoted.

(4) Preventing harmful ion reactions such as the production of peroxides Lipids in living organisms change into lipid peroxides by oxidizing substances such as active oxygen, and this is considered to be a cause of aging.0 The treated water according to the present invention , can prevent the formation of peroxides due to its ionic reaction blocking ability. As a result, it becomes possible to prevent the deposition of lipids in blood vessels, prevent aging due to hardening of blood vessels, and prevent rock bottom disease.

As described above, water treated with the water treatment agent of the present invention can impart various functionalities to living organisms, and can be used not only for drinking water but also for pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, foods, etc. In addition to being used in manufacturing to prevent deterioration due to harmful reactions of the main ingredients, it can also be used in almost all fields that use water, such as livestock, agriculture, and fisheries, to obtain unique effects. It is.

A water treatment agent was obtained by adding and mixing the same amount of a mixture of heavy calcium carbonate particles and anhydrous silicic acid particles (mixing ratio 1:1) with similar particle sizes. This was packed into a column of a normal water treatment filtration device, and tap water was filtered to obtain treated water.

A cultivation test of Kaiware daikon using this treated water resulted in a germination rate of 96%. On the other hand, when tap water was used as a control, the germination rate was 80%, and the germination rate of treated water was improved by 20%.

As a result of a rearing test conducted using treated water, the average egg collection rate over a 6-month period was found to be approximately 22% higher when treated water was used. At the same time, when treated water was used for cleaning the poultry house, pests and bad odors were reduced, and the effect of improving the purification of the breeding environment was clearly observed.

Afterwards, the water in the pond became clearer, the odor almost disappeared, and the environment became extremely purified.

Since then, the healthy growth of carp and other fish has been observed.
