City water is housed in, for example, a container 3 and stainless steel bars 2 are respectively fixed upright on both right and left sides. Both positive and negative electrodes are selectively connected to both stainless steel bars 2 and the stainless steel bars are energized by utilizing a dry cell housed in a battery box 1. The microorganisms 4, then, gather at the stainless steel rod 2 on the positive side and propagate with presence or absence of electrotaxis and with lapse of time. Namely, the fresh water is formed by bonding oxygen with the hydrogen generated on the negative pole side and is diffused, by which the water quality is improved.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to improvement of natural environment and living environment.

[0002]

[Prior art]

(1) Background With the development of science and technology, air pollution and acid rain were produced, and the natural environment and living environment were destroyed due to the development of living environment. This is having a serious impact on human life as it develops into global environmental destruction.

(2) Problems of the Prior Art All the water quality improvement projects in rivers and lakes by the present technology are target therapy, and there is no great expectation. Therefore,
It is said that there is nothing but quantitative restrictions.

[0004]

In view of the above situation, the present invention provides all the water quality improvement by using electricity, from water for domestic use to drainage, to ponds, rivers, lakes and oceans.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

(1) Concept Based on the above concept, the electric power is added to the conventional method to achieve the ultimate water quality improvement by using the three functions of biological treatment and physical property improvement method and reductive improvement method. . The inventor
The invention relating to JP-A-62-186730 was previously proposed, and it is proposed to increase the amount of dissolved oxygen in water by floating a non-water-absorbing material such as a non-water-absorbing chemical fiber on the water surface.
In addition, the invention according to Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-293 proposes a method for improving water quality, which is characterized in that a hydrophobic porous material carrying or supporting aerobic microorganisms is brought into contact with target water. The present inventors have reached the present invention by taking a step from the reflection of the previous invention and finding a method for improving water quality in which an ultimate reducing action is added by adding electrostimulation and decomposition action.

(2) Overview A method for improving biological water quality by utilizing the mobility of microorganisms by using electricity. A method for improving water quality by changing physical properties by subdividing a water molecule group using electrical stimulation. A method of improving water quality by redox by reducing water quality by electrolysis. This is a water quality improvement method that effectively uses the above three effects.

Subdivision of water molecule group Normal water (H2O) is not a single water molecule but a water molecule group (cluster), about 30 to 50 of which are polymerized with each other. That is, although they are connected like a bunch of grapes, the more the water quality becomes dirty, the greater the clustering of clusters. Therefore, the large and small values of the cluster are one barometer of water quality. The present invention subgroups this population by electrical stimulation. So-called millions and clusters are aimed at improving the water quality by the action of "releasing and precipitating" harmful substances in large clusters (within groups). According to recent chemical journals and literature, the water quality of a small group of 5 to 6 clusters is optimal, and local people who use water with small clusters are expected to live longer, especially for enzymatic reactions of proteins and starches. It has announced that it has an outstanding effect.

Microorganisms and chemotaxis The microorganisms referred to in the present invention are organisms which are invisible to the naked eye, such as bacteria, bacteria and cells. Chemotaxis means that an organism that moves freely moves in a certain direction in response to an external stimulus. The electrophoretic property referred to in the present invention means that a living organism concentrates on an electrode in response to an electrical stimulus, which is positive chemotaxis, and repels away from the living organism is negative chemotaxis. Most of the microorganisms have positive electrophoretic properties for anodic electricity (+) and negative electrophoretic properties for cathodic electricity (-). According to the literature, there is a theory of chemotaxis, chemotaxis, etc., which is unclear at present.

Electrolysis and reduction action Electrolysis action occurs when the electrode is immersed in the target water and electricity is applied. That is, oxygen is generated from the positive electrode (+) surface, and the negative electrode
(-) Hydrogen is generated from the surface. The reducing action is a method in which oxygen in the air is sent to the generated hydrogen by an air pump to cause hydrogen bonding (collision). That is, when oxygen in the air is given to the cathode surface, new water (H2O) is formed. This new water diffuses from the periphery of the electrode and has an effect of improving the water quality, so that the reduced water becomes newer than the target water (oxidation).

Applicable power source A solar cell, a dry cell, a battery (electricity storage place), a direct current electricity obtained by converting AC electricity into DC electricity, and a direct current electricity mainly for a power source from 1V to 24V.

Microorganisms Porous materials made of chemical fibers are preferable, and for example, materials made of braid, woven fabric, non-woven fabric and the like may be used as long as they are suitable for covering the electrodes. It may also be a habitat with a wrapping material, sponge or chemical cotton added.

Uses Appreciation aquariums, ponds, rivers, lakes, oceans and fishponds, cages,
In addition to improving the water quality of pools, etc., it can be widely used as an energy-saving water quality improving means for purifying the sea and rivers, which helps prevent and improve water quality deterioration such as drainage ditches with degraded water quality.

Air Pump In the present invention, the air pump mainly uses target water having a bad flow such as a pond. It promotes the flow of water, the growth of microorganisms, and the reducing action, and is useful for increasing dissolved oxygen in water.

Electrode (Electrode Plate) From the viewpoint of being charged in water, a material that is hard to oxidize and has an excellent electric conductivity is optimal. For example, a pipe made of aluminum, aluminum alloy, stainless steel, a flat bar, a flat plate or the like is most suitable.

Application form Both electrodes are immersed in the target water and a small current is passed through. That is, it is an extremely simple structure in which the water quality is improved by an electrically stimulating method. However, in this embodiment, three effective means are inherent. (1) Proliferation of microorganisms using electrophoretic properties. (2)
Subdivision of water molecule population. (3) It is a reducing action due to the electrolysis action. There are various modes for implementing this effective means. For example, you can use it to prevent the occurrence of water-bloom in water tanks, pools, ponds, lakes and marshes, set it on fish reefs for collecting and growing fish, or set it near ponds to prepare for red tide measures. There is a wide range of usages, such as floating, submerging, pouring, bag-like, tubular, sheet-like, and circular shapes that are suitable for the target water. Regarding the usage, when oxygen is applied to the positive electrode with an air pump, the growth of microorganisms is promoted, and it is possible to adjust the electrical stimulation depending on the size of both electrodes and the interval between the electrodes. In addition, it is possible to easily collect or remove the microorganisms by switching the electrodes ((+), (-)). Further, although there is an effective difference between the presence and absence of the pump, it takes time to accelerate the purification action.

[0016]

The present invention has three inherent water quality improvement measures by electric means for the target water. That is, the growth of microorganisms using electrophoretic properties improves the biological water quality and subdivides the water molecule population by electrical stimulation to improve the water quality by discharging and precipitating filth in the cluster and generate it from the negative electrode surface by electrolysis. It is a method of improving water quality (a method of producing new water H2O) by reducing action by making hydrogen and oxygen in the air collide with generated hydrogen through an air pump to facilitate "hydrogen bonding". The reducing action is a method of repeatedly reducing new water formation in the target water to the water quality before the oxidation with respect to the target water (oxidized water). The tacticity of microorganisms is produced by indicating a favorable environment and positive chemotaxis is produced, and by the negative chemotaxis is indicative of bad environment and negative chemotaxis is produced. Therefore, the microorganisms gather in a favorable environment, reproduce and develop. In other words, it grows into colonies and disperses. Therefore, the contact area between the microorganism and the target water is increased from the vicinity of the positive electrode, so that the water purification action is promoted. In addition, by subdividing the water molecule population by electrical stimulation, substances lighter than water are released into the air, and heavy substances are precipitated, so the purification action is also accelerated.
Therefore, three comprehensive effects of biological purification, physical purification, and reductive purification occur. Further, even after that, the improvement water (purified water) using the present invention has a feature that the time required to restore the wastewater before improvement is overwhelmingly longer than that of the conventional target treatment purified water.

【Example】

Experiments and Examples Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to examples, but the examples are merely for the purpose of explanation and do not imply any limitation or limitation of the inventive idea.

Experiment (1) Experimental Example of Electrophoresis and Proliferation As shown in FIG. 1, a plastic container 3 having a diameter of 120 mm and a depth of 120 mm was filled with about 400 cc of tap water. An experiment was carried out by providing a control.
Stainless steel rods (stainless steel) inside the left and right sides of the experimental container 3
2, length 150mm, diameter 5mm fixed upright, battery BO
Using the power source of the dry battery 3V housed in X1, connect the (+) terminal to the right stainless steel rod 2 and the (-) terminal to the left stainless steel rod 2 and turn on the power. Then, the microorganisms 4 start to collect, and after 12 hours, they become concentrated as they become white. There is no change in the opposite left (-) stainless steel rod 2. Further, there is no change in the control container 3 of the target experiment.

Experimental Example When the electrode terminals of the stainless steel rod 2 of the above-mentioned experimental example (1) were reversed and connected, and after 12 hours, a check was conducted, the left (+) stainless steel rod 2 became white and the right one. The (-) stainless steel rod 2 returned to the original stainless steel rod 2 and was completely reversed. Therefore, (1)
From the experimental example, it is possible to confirm the proof that electrophoretic property is present or not and that it grows with time.

Experiment for subdividing water molecule population A comparative experiment between experimental water and target water was carried out using Toyu 5 shown in FIG. Inside the tou 5 having a length of 50 cm and a diameter of about 10 cm (semi-circular shape), a braided sheet 6 is laid as a whole and used as a habitat.
Anode plate (+) 7 and cathode plate (-) 7 cm apart from it
Attach each stainless steel plate 8 and feed water from the tap 9 at an angle of about 15 degrees and pass through the anode plate (+) 7 to the cathode plate.
When a mechanism for allowing water to pass through (-) 8 is made, and a dry battery 4,5V (solar battery) 10 is wired to each electrode 7, 8 as a power source and tap water is supplied, a current of about 3 to 7 milliamperes flows. Therefore, using the same tou 5, an evaporation experiment was conducted by collecting water that was energized and water that was not energized, so-called experimental water and control water.

Experimental Method and Evaporation Test 200 g of water was placed in each 10 g container, and the weight was measured over time to examine the amount of evaporation. Evaporation test Elapsed time Target water (tap water) Experimental water (energized water) 5 hours later 1,12g 1,01g 10 hours later 3,23g 2,22g 30 hours later 8,42g 5,98g 48 hours later 16,66g 12 As a result of the experiment, it was found that the evaporation amount was less by 46 g after 48 hours, which indicates a change in the physical properties of water. That is, since the water molecule group (cluster) is subdivided, hydrogen bonds are strengthened and evaporation is reduced. Although I did not try the specific gravity experiment, I felt that it was heavy visually. A follow-up survey was conducted to see if the evaporation rate was the same as tap water.
It returned to normal water in time, but this is a phenomenon that occurs because water is a "structural memory." (Water melted from ice is 3-6
It becomes normal water after a day. (From "Science of Water" by Petriyanov)

Experiment of reduction action In the water tank 11 (50) shown in FIG.
The anode wire (+) is wired inside, a plurality of small holes 18 are opened in the upper part, and the anode pipe 16 having the braided sheet 6 attached inside is connected to the inside by a connecting tool 15. Similarly, from the battery BOX 12 inside the tube 14. Cathode wire (-), insert the hose 20 from the air pump 13 into the inside of the pipe 14, open a plurality of small holes 18 in the upper part, and connect the cathode pipe 17 and the pipe 14 with the air stone 19 inside with the connector 15. Connect and fix the anode pipe 16 and the cathode pipe 17 with fixtures 21 and place them at the bottom of the water tank 11, and put the waste water 50 from which water is generated from the pond inside the Sumiyoshi University into the water tank 11. Then, oxygen is supplied to hydrogen generated from the cathode pipe 17 from the tip of the cathode pipe 17 of the electrode via the air pump 13, and the air pump 13 is used as a power source (AC (100
V) and the electrodes are wired by a dry cell (single) 4,5 V housed in a battery BOX12 and energized, water bubbles are generated from the cathode pipe 17 and about 10 to 20 milliamperes flow to the electrodes. After about 5 hours, the transparency gradually increased from around the cathode pipe 17 and after 10 hours, the transparency was improved to a completely different level, but this is not the only new water generated from the cathode pipe 17. Blue-bloom (plankton) precipitates and deteriorates because microorganisms on the anode side concentrate and colonize due to the electrophoretic action of the anode. Since new reduced water is diffused there, the water is improved to have high transparency and gloss. We collected 400cc each of improved water and completely new tap water in a plastic container and placed it near the window to test the generation of water-bloom. (1) Tap water begins to turn blue around 14 days, and the occurrence of water-bloom can be confirmed in 30 days. (2) In the improved water, generation of water-bloom was not confirmed even after 60 days.

Example (1) As shown in FIG. 4, a small river in which domestic drainage flows, the river width is about 1 m, the three sides have a cement structure, and the water depth is about 15 cm to 2 cm.
Aluminum plate 50 cm x 1 in river 24 where odor is drifting from 0 cm of dirty water
Three pieces of 00 cm are installed on the riverbed at intervals of 10 cm, and chemical fiber 6 (polypropylene) is laid and fixed on it. The so-called water bottom is provided with the electrodes of the anode plate 23 (+), the cathode plate 22 (−), the anode plate 23 (+), ... The power source is a solar cell,
Although an appropriate power source such as a dry battery or a battery may be used, in the experiment, the dry battery (single) 4,5V stored in the battery BOX12 was used, but the improvement effect was confirmed from about 48 hours after the implementation,
On day 5, the initial BOD also improved from 50 PPM to 6 PPM.

Embodiment (2) As shown in FIG. 6, a small hole 18 is formed in the upper part of the anode pipe 16, the braided sheet 6 is attached to the inside, and a small hole 18 is formed in the upper part of the cathode pipe 17. The electrode pipes 16 and 17 containing the Airstone 19 were put into a pond measuring about 10m x 20m to improve the water quality. Electrode pipes 16 and 17 of 4m from the side with a small pond width are installed at 6 places from the banks on the left and right. The distance between the electrode pipes 16 and 17 is about 10cm. Put the tip into the pond and store in the battery box 12 from the bank. The pipes 16 and 17 were energized by the dry cell (single) 4,5V. Further, when air reduction was promoted by an air pump 13 (AC) from the vicinity of the tip of the cathode pipe 17, the transparency was improved to the extent that it could be mistaken in 30 days, and P and H were recovered from 4,5 to 6,8.

Example (3) Using Toyu 5 (used for subdividing the water molecule population) shown in FIG. 2, the paddy was installed at a water mouth of about 1,000 m2 and a current of about 6 to 8 mA was applied. (Toyono-cho, Toyono-gun, Osaka Prefecture),
The period was from July 1st to September 10th. The harvest was about 20% higher than usual. The quality was also first-class rice. The result is that the subdivision of the water molecule population promotes enzymatic reactions to promote growth and harvest.

Example (4) The electrode pipes 16 and 17 shown in FIG.
Battery (single) 3 installed in the battery box 12
Electricity is applied at V, about 12 milliamperes are flowed, a plurality of small holes 18 are opened in the entire upper surface of the cathode pipe 17, and a reducing action of sending oxygen from the air pump 13 is used. If the cluster is made into millions, it is not necessary to change the water for about 3 months, and it is sufficient to feed once a day. In the same method as the goldfish tank 11, the water change is limited to 7 to 10 days by the usual method. Moreover, the movement of the goldfish in the implementation tank 11 and the color and luster of the goldfish have made a marked difference.

Embodiment (5) As shown in FIG. 5, electric wires (+) and (-) are wired at both ends of an electrode strip 25 (PP belt), and an anode plate 27 (+) and a cathode plate 28 ( -) Are installed in a reservoir of about 10m x 25m, and four of them are installed on the opposite levee from a 25m-long levee. When the electricity was turned on, the reservoir that was stained with blue water turned into a transparent pond within 3-5 days. (4,
5PH became 6,5)

When the electrodes are energized side by side, the electrode belt 29 oscillates in the target water due to wind waves and flow. Therefore, if the floating body is set and placed on the water, oxygen in the air is dissolved in the target water to improve the water quality. If desired, a method of setting an electrode on oil, fluence, etc. to energize it is useful for preventing the occurrence of water-bloom and red tide in lakes and oceans.

As shown in FIG. 8, a cylindrical electrode (+) 32 having an insertion hole for the hose 20 for sending air from the air pump 13 and a small hole 37 for discharging the air from the inside is provided in the center of the upper lid 35 and the inside. The braided sheet 6 is attached, and the air stone 19 is arranged between the braided sheet 6 and the cylindrical electrode (-) 35 having the small hole 35 having the same function as described above, and the outer cylinder 34 covers the air stone 19 so as not to come off. In addition, the outer tube 34 has an electric wire that is wired from the power source to both tubular electrodes 32 and 33.
Install 26. Air stone 19 is set in the central portion (gap) of both cylindrical electrodes 32, 33 to energize and air pump 13
When aeration is carried out, the microorganisms of the positive electrode and the hydrogen bonding (H2O) of the negative electrode are promoted at the same time, so that the water quality improving effect is doubled. If desired, if an electrode is provided at the fountain port of a park or the like (system shown in FIG. 8) and electricity is applied, a fountain and a water purification effect can be expected. Further, it was found that a remarkable change occurred in the practice test of the present invention.
