Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a catalytic reaction method and apparatus using activated mineral water, which uses activated mineral water having high permeability and antibacterial property as treatment water.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, it is known that, in water, generally five or more molecules form a group (cluster) by hydrogen bonds.
Alternatively, water having a small molecule group mainly composed of ions such as buck-boost, divalent and trivalent ions from an inorganic substance has an increased permeability, or has a dyeing property when used as fiber processing water. It is also known to have various effects such as improvement or suppression of growth of various bacteria.

The applicant of the present invention also discloses a method for producing activated mineral water as water for food processing and water for fiber processing (Japanese Patent Publication No. 4-74074), in which pressurized water is brought into contact with a predetermined inorganic substance. It was clarified that the activated mineral water produced by the step of exposing the pressurized water to the atmospheric pressure after this step has usefulness such as inhibiting the growth of microorganisms.

Further, the applicant of the present invention is the Japanese Patent Application No. 4-2.
It was proposed in No. 82904 that activated mineral water was heated and pressurized, and when this was used as an extraction solvent to immerse fruits and other extracts, a good extract was obtained and a concentrated extract could be obtained in a relatively short time.

[0005]

However, the field of use of activated mineral water is limited to the solvent for the extract for foods and the water for fiber processing as described above. No method has so far been developed for contacting solid substances and discovering the possibility of exerting some physicochemical effect on them.

The same applies to the activated mineral water to which the extract component extracted by the above-mentioned method for producing an extract is added.

Furthermore, in the above-mentioned method for producing an extract, since the object to be treated is finely divided, it is necessary to efficiently apply such a catalytic reaction method without changing the shape of the solid substance. There is also the problem that it cannot be done.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and to carry out a catalytic 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. And the contact efficiency with respect to the object to be treated in that case is increased as much as possible.

[0009]

In order to solve the above problems, in the present invention, a step of bringing water pressurized to 5 to 30 atm into contact with a predetermined inorganic substance and a pressurized water which has been subjected to this step are provided. The step of storing in an atmosphere of less than the predetermined atmospheric pressure is provided, and after the activated mineral water is produced by circulating the pressurized water so as to alternately repeat these steps, the activated mineral water is pressurized to 2 to 30 atmospheric pressure. In this way, the catalytic reaction method using activated mineral water that is passed through a solid object to be contacted is used.

Further, the material to be extracted is immersed in the activated mineral water as an extraction solvent, and the separated extract is added to the separately prepared activated mineral water, which is pressurized to 2 to 30 atm. The contact reaction method using the activated mineral water consists of contacting and passing the treated material. In this case, it is also possible to employ a means in which the substance to be extracted is bamboo.

Alternatively, a pump for delivering pressurized water of 5 to 30 atm is provided in a water passage through which water is stored from a tank for storing raw water, and a water permeate for passing the pressurized water into contact with an inorganic substance is provided downstream of the pump in the water passage. A device is provided, and a return passage for returning the passing water to the storage tank is connected to the water permeation device, and a plurality of bypass distribution passages with operation valves can be opened and closed in the water passage or the return passage downstream of the pump. An activation system is provided in which one bypass distribution channel has a water-permeable device that allows solid substances to come into contact with the water stream to pass through, and the other bypass distribution channel has a pressure tank that contains the extraction target substance. It was a catalytic reactor using mineral water.

[0012]

The action mechanism of the activated mineral water used in the present invention for the catalytic reaction with the solid object to be treated is not clear. However, the state of water in activated mineral water changes at the molecular level, that is, it is eluted from inorganic substances.
Water is considered to be a group of small molecules centering around these ions due to valent and trivalent ions, so that water efficiently permeates into the solid object to be treated and exerts some physicochemical action on at least its surface. It is thought that

When the substance to be extracted is dipped in such activated mineral water, the extraction ability and its efficiency are good, and the dipping can be repeated to obtain a concentrated extract in a relatively short time.

The contact reactor is provided with a plurality of bypass water passages that communicate with each other as appropriate, and one bypass water passage is closed and activated by interposing a pressure tank for containing the substance to be extracted. Producing mineral water, then
The bypass water passage is opened, 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, the activated mineral water is activated by closing the one bypass water passage or by adjusting the flow rate to a required amount and opening the other one bypass water passage having the water permeation device containing the solid object to be processed. The liquid in which the above-mentioned extraction liquid is mixed can be efficiently brought into contact with the solid object.

[0015]

Examples The inorganic substance used in the catalytic reaction method or catalytic reactor of the present invention is, for example, a mineral inorganic substance, a metal oxide, or ceramics or steel obtained by sintering these,
It is a refined metal such as aluminum, which can be adopted without any particular limitation.

As the above-mentioned mineral inorganic substance, ferromagnetic minerals such as basalt, andesite and magnetite, which have natural remanence and contain so-called minerals such as magnesium and iron, are particularly preferable. Also, favorable results are obtained when a semiconductor material such as germanium is added.

The activated mineral water used in the present invention is 5 to 30.
Obtained by alternately repeating two steps, a step of bringing water pressurized to atmospheric pressure into contact with a predetermined inorganic substance and a step of storing the pressurized water that has passed through this step in an atmosphere of less than the predetermined atmospheric pressure, in particular, It is preferable that the pressurized water is continuously circulated for several hours to 24 hours or more for a long time. 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. Therefore, it is preferable to use the activated mineral water as it is for the catalytic reaction because the reactivity becomes higher.

The pressurized water used for the production of activated mineral water is 5 to
The reason for limiting the pressure to 30 atm is that at a low pressure of less than 5 atm, the effect of suppressing the growth of microorganisms of the activated mineral water produced is inferior and the infiltration power to the substance to be extracted is inferior. Is unfavorable in that it becomes large and lacks practicality.

The activated mineral water used when it is brought into contact with the solid object to be treated is pressurized to 2 to 30 atm. This is because the contact efficiency is not sufficient under a pressurizing condition below a predetermined range, and the solid object to be treated is often physically collapsed above 30 atm.

The solid object to be treated in the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it is not destroyed even when it is contacted with the activated mineral water having the above-mentioned predetermined pressure, and various substances can be adopted. . Specific examples include ceramics made of arbitrary components such as silicon carbide, glass, aluminum oxide (alumina), iron, steel, copper and other metals, carbon and other inorganic substances such as graphite and graphite, acrylonitrile, butadiene and styrene. Copolymer resin (ABS
Examples of the resin), vinyl chloride resin, polyamide resin, polyester resin and other resins, and water-insoluble or sparingly soluble plant material include soybean, rice and wheat.

When the treatment is performed within the above-mentioned predetermined pressure range, for example, when treating an inorganic substance,
To set the pressure conditions in a relatively high pressure range, and to treat plants, etc., adopt the processing conditions in a low pressure range so as not to impair the original shape.

The extract to be subjected to the catalytic reaction by adding the extract to the separately prepared activated mineral water is not particularly limited as long as it is an animal or plant body containing no harmful components. Can be adopted.

Examples of such plants include vegetables such as cucumber, carrot, lettuce, tomato, soybean, sesame, garlic, ginkgo, and pepper, and edible algae such as chlorella, kelp and wakame. When a medicinal effect derived from a plant component is expected, it may be ume fruit, coco palm, pine or cedar leaf or seed, bamboo such as Menso bamboo, or cypress or a dry distillation product thereof (activated carbon). Examples of the animal body include avian eggs such as chicken eggs, wool, silk thread, animal horns, and hard proteins such as shells (chitin and chitosan).

The ratio of the extract added to the activated mineral water is not particularly limited, and may be appropriately adjusted depending on the concentration of the extract corresponding to the substance to be extracted and the purpose of treatment.
