The present invention relates to a method for producing sterilized water and a manufacturing apparatus using the same, and more particularly, to a method for producing sterilized water and a device for producing sterilized water, which is harmless to humans and has high sterilizing ability.

Recently, environmental pollution such as allergy and atopy is increasing as the pollution of the air and soil is increasing, and as interest in well-being increases, interest in health is increasing day by day. Therefore, researches on how to treat, disinfect and prevent various diseases with chemicals that do not cause adverse effects on the human body have been ongoing.

For example, commercially available physiological saline is used to store and clean contact lenses and to use them for disinfection. However, such physiological saline can not only be manufactured by complex and expensive large-scale equipment according to the process shown in FIG. 1, but rather by using physiological saline contaminated as it is contaminated with the passage of time after manufacture. There was a problem that adversely affects.

Specifically, as shown in Figure 1, recently, the physiological saline for the purpose of washing contact lenses, sterilization step (S1) for sterilizing a large amount of distilled water by heating for about 30 minutes at a high pressure at a high temperature of about 121 ℃ and To prepare a saline solution having the same osmotic pressure as human body fluid by administering sodium chloride (NaCl) as an osmotic pressure regulator in sterile distilled water (S2), and administering a pH buffer to adjust the pH pH 6.5 to 8.0 (S3) ), Administering a preservative to prevent the bacteria in the brine from propagating beyond a certain range (S4), the filtration step (S5) to filter with a filter to remove impurities, and the filtered saline is filled in the packaging container It consists of the step of storing (S6).

Here, the sterilization step (S1) is to heat the distilled water at a high temperature and high pressure, so that the distilled water is placed in a large-capacity container, it is made by heating and applying a high pressure, the brine manufacturing step (S2) is a medicinal osmotic pressure control agent Instead of using sodium chloride (NaCl), medicinal potassium chloride (KCl) may be used, aimed at about 0.9% of the same concentration as the body fluid. In addition, the pH buffer administration step (S3) is to adjust the pH buffers, such as boric acid, citric acid, phosphoric acid to the brine to adjust to a pH range similar to the body fluid, the preservative administration step (S4), distilled water sterilized by high temperature and high pressure Since physiological saline is prepared by using a sterile state at the time of manufacture, but preservatives such as sorbate, chimerosal, polyquid, dimed, etc. are administered to prevent the growth of bacteria in the saline during the long-term storage process.

Since the sterilization step for removing the bacteria in the conventional physiological saline is carried out in a state of high temperature, high pressure should be provided with a pressure vessel capable of withstanding high pressure, having a pressure vessel capable of withstanding high pressure is practically physiological saline It is only possible for a manufacturer who specializes in manufacturing and it is impossible for a general user or a consumer to have a high pressure vessel. Therefore, the conventional method for sterilizing physiological saline according to a high temperature and a high pressure method is for a general user or a consumer to use a saline solution. It was not possible to make them directly and use them immediately.

That is, conventionally, only a professional manufacturer can manufacture physiological saline, so that the physiological saline is prepared in a large pressure container on a large scale, and the physiological saline prepared in this way is filled in a certain packaging container (S6) and commercially available. Due to the convenience of the user's purchase and the constraints of the cost of the packaging container is being sold in a large packaging container of about 1L or more. By the way, the physiological saline is sold in the packaging container (S6) is contaminated by exposure to the atmosphere after 3 to 4 days after opening the packaging container, there was a limitation in use should be used before being contaminated. Nevertheless, users who purchase and use commercial physiological saline should be discarded after 3 to 4 days after opening, but it is often used continuously without disposal, so that the use of contaminated physiological saline is neglected. Resulted.

In addition, preservatives are administered to store the saline solution for a long time until the packaging container is opened (S4), and the preservatives administered to the saline solution also have problems that cause side effects such as allergy to some users.

For this reason, conventionally, there has been a situation of commercially available sterilizing water in which a large amount of chlorine is released in water with a large production facility. However, releasing a large amount of chlorine generates a disgusting smell of chlorine (Cl ₂ ) itself, which is greatly limited in use, and also adversely affects the human body by containing a large amount of chemicals added in large amounts with chlorine (Cl ₂ ). Problems have arisen.

Therefore, ways to minimize the amount of chlorine have begun to be explored. As part of this, sterile physiological saline (trade name: Exsept plus), marketed by the company Alcavis International, is a product that contains only low concentrations of chlorine (1.1%, or 1100 ppm). This product is sold in a container in which sterilized water is produced using chlorine in a large-scale facility at a factory, as disclosed on the website http://www.alcavis.com. Against the background of the development of such products, chlorine was widely used for sterilization or disinfection, but hypochlorite (HOCl) present in the chlorine component is harmless to humans. Despite its rapid response, it was not used sufficiently because pH water has a significant effect on the percentage of hypochlorous acid in chlorine in chlorine-based disinfection. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, hypochlorous acid (HOCl) ions and oxidation reduction potential (ORP) increase as the number of pH decreases, but hypochlorous acid tends to be strong alkalinized and thus has a low pH number. In an acidic state, there is a problem that the stability is significantly reduced. That is, in an acidic state with low pH water, hypochlorous acid (HOCl) generated when sodium chloride and water react by a reaction according to the following formula is very large and binds to sodium ions. It is greatly reduced.

_{NaCl + H 2 O + e- -} > HOCl + Na + + OH -

^{HOCl + Na + + OH - -} > NaOCl + H 2

Therefore, the Exsept Plus product of Alcavis international products has a pH of about 9 to 10 in order to secure the stability of hypochlorous acid, even if the proportion of hypochlorite is only about 5% of the total chlorine. It is inevitably produced with alkaline water, and for this purpose, it has a limit of having a high chlorine concentration of 1100 ppm (although it is expressed as a low concentration on the homepage). That is, the amount of hypochlorous acid that can be sterilized substantially in 1100 ppm chlorine contains only less than 55 ppm, and most of the other chlorine that is 1000 ppm or more has only about 1/80 of hypochlorite function. It is a residue ^- (OCl). Therefore, the above product contains excessive chlorine (Chlorine) when applied to the human body, but compared to the amount of chlorine contained in the actual sterilization disinfection ability has a problem that is greatly reduced.

Against this background, hypochlorite (HOCl), which performs sterilization and disinfection function, is not only harmless to the human body because active oxygen is changed in order to combat bacteria invading the blood in the human body, and also compared to hypochlorite ion (OCl ⁻ ). Since it has about 80 times of sterilizing power, the method for producing sterilizing water which can maximize the ratio of hypochlorous acid (HOCl) in sterilizing and disinfecting foods to be directly applied to the human body or ingested or absorbed by the human body and implementing the same There is a great need for a manufacturing apparatus.

The present invention, while minimizing the amount of chlorine (Chlorine) that may cause side effects in the human body in the disinfection method using chlorine, while at the same time reducing the amount of hypochlorous acid (OCl-) low efficacy of disinfection, It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for producing sterilized water having a high component ratio of hypochlorous acid (HOCl) which is very harmless to humans while having a high disinfection effect, and an object thereof.

In addition, the present invention is not limited to the manufacturer, but also for the purpose of maximizing disinfection and sterilization performance by allowing the user or consumer level to easily prepare sterilized water having a high hypochlorous acid content ratio and immediately apply it to a desired site.

Still another object of the present invention is to produce a portable physiological saline solution by generating a minimum amount of oxidants required for sterilization on the fly and applying them to the human body so that a large amount of power is not consumed in order to generate excessive amounts of oxidants. To provide a device.

In particular, the present invention by electrolyzing with neutral to weakly acidic water in order to increase the amount of hypochlorite (HOCl) excellent sterilizing power, it is possible to produce a sterile physiological saline with only minimal oxidant.

In addition, the present invention, by allowing the user to prepare the sterilized water having the same concentration as the physiological saline immediately to use, it is possible to suppress the use of the preservatives required as long-term storage of physiological saline, the user to contaminated physiological saline Another purpose is to eliminate all the problems caused by use.

In addition, the present invention immediately after the preparation of the sterile physiological saline prepared in this way to be used to wash the nose or skin of inflamed mucous membranes or wounds, such as athlete's foot or atopic, rhinitis patients, etc. The purpose is to promote recovery of the wound.

In addition, an object of the present invention is to be able to sterilize bacteria or bacteria in a short time by generating a large amount of oxidant in a short time by more intense electrolysis.

In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide a sterilizing water production apparatus for controlling the current applied to the electrode portion to generate a certain amount of oxidant even if electrolyzed brine of different concentrations.

The present invention provides a method for producing sterilized water having a high component ratio of hypochlorous acid in order to achieve the object as described above, comprising the steps of: preparing a weak acid to neutral water; Mixing the salt with water to make brine; A sterilization step of sterilizing the brine by generating a oxidant by electrolyzing the brine by applying a DC power in a state in which the negative electrode part and the positive electrode part face each other in the brine; It provides a method for producing sterilized water having a high hypochlorous acid component ratio, characterized in that it comprises.

It is electrolyzed by brine prepared from weakly acidic to neutral water of pH 5.0 to pH 7.5. Hypochlorite (HOCl, hypochlorous acid), which is harmless to humans, has excellent sterilizing power from sodium chloride in brine among the oxidants generated by electrolysis. This is to maximize the amount of.

More specifically, chlorine is generally used as a fungicide because it is effective at removing microorganisms, but at pH above 7.5 only very small amounts of chlorine generate active hypochlorous acid (HOCl), while the rest is very inert. Since it is generated with hypochlorous acid (OCl ^- etc.), by using a slightly acidic to neutral water with a pH value of 5.0 to 7.5, it maximizes the generation of hypochlorite (HOCl) excellent in sterilization, and minimizes all other chlorine forms You can.

That is, as shown in Figure 2, hypochlorous acid, the most efficient pathogen control agent produced when chlorine is added to water, 90% of the chlorine is produced in the form of hypochlorous acid in chlorine pH 6.5 water In water at pH 7.5, only 50% of chlorine is in hypochlorous acid form, and in water at pH 8.0, less than 20% of chlorine is in hypochlorous acid form. Although the ratio of chloric acid is high, since it becomes high acidic water for apply | coating to a human body, it is good to keep pH value larger than 5.0 for the water which produces brine. Thus, tap water or groundwater, which is weakly acidic to neutral (most preferably water of about pH 6.5), is more suitable than distilled water, which is weakly alkaline water. Most preferably, chlorine is generated in water at about pH 6.5.

The sterilized water prepared as described above is prepared by electrolyzing weakly acidic to neutral brine, so that the component ratio of hypochlorous acid having high disinfection and sterilizing effect can be maintained at 50% or more, preferably 95% or more. In addition, such a method for producing sterilizing water requires only a container for receiving brine, a negative electrode part and a positive electrode part arranged in the container, and a power source for supplying a direct current to these electrode plates. The weight of the device and the device is significantly reduced than the conventional device, making it easy to carry the device necessary to prepare the sterilized water. Therefore, in the user or consumer level, the sterilizing water having a high component ratio of hypochlorous acid, which is harmless to the human body and has high sterilizing power, can be directly used for the intended use.

As a result, the composition ratio of hypochlorous acid is lowered to 5% or less as it is prepared using alkaline water, and the amount used is higher than that of the conventional sterilized water containing a large amount of chlorine which may cause side effects to the human body. Even if it is less, it is possible not only to obtain a higher sterilization effect, but also to significantly reduce side effects and to produce a sterilizing water which is completely harmless to the human body. First of all, the method for producing sterilizing water according to the present invention has a high disinfection and sterilizing power because most chlorine exists in the form of hypochlorous acid having excellent sterilizing power, even though the content of chlorine is 5 ppm to 100 ppm. It can be secured.

In particular, tap water or groundwater, which can be easily obtained anywhere, corresponds to weakly acidic to neutral water because the pH value is in the range of 6.0 to 7.0. Accordingly, the weakly acidic to neutral water to be used for the preparation of sterilizing water can be obtained by tap water or groundwater without any extra effort, and the sterilizing water having a high component ratio of hypochlorous acid can be easily used anywhere.

On the other hand, since the pH value of the body fluid of the human body is in the range of 6.5 to 7.5, when the sterilizing water is to be injected into the body or used for sterilization of contact lenses in direct contact with the human body, the pH value of the water is 6.5 to 7.5 is preferably equal to the pH value of the body fluids of the human body.

Since the method for producing sterilizing water according to the present invention has the advantage of having excellent portability, the current supplied to the electrode plate is supplied from the portable battery.

On the other hand, since the magnitude of the current applied from the same power source varies depending on the concentration of the brine between the electrodes, the compensation according to the change in the concentration of the chlorine should be made. Therefore, by detecting a change in the resistance value between the electrodes generated by the concentration of the brine, and thereby adjusting the magnitude of the voltage applied to the electrode, the value of the current applied to the electrode can always be maintained in a constant range Even if it is operated for a predetermined time, a uniform amount of oxidants (ozone, hydrogen peroxide, HOCl, OH radicals, etc., the largest part of which is hypochlorous acid [HOCl]) is produced. This is because, by using the transistor TR serving as a switching power supply, the base current of the transistor is finely adjusted according to the change of the resistance value according to the concentration, such that a predetermined resistance is generated to pass through the transistor. By inducing the effect, the current value supplied to the electrode plate can be adjusted constantly.

In addition, since the current value applied to the electrode changes according to the use of the battery, the voltage drop amount of the battery is sensed and compensated for, and the current supplied to the electrode installed in the brine is maintained in a predetermined range. This is also implemented by increasing the resistance so that a constant voltage is applied to the transistor when the voltage of the battery is high, and adjusting the base current to lower the resistance in the transistor as the voltage of the battery is lowered. However, when the voltage of the battery is lower than the use range, it is preferable to display the battery replacement signal.

In addition, in order to be able to use the battery for a long time without replacing the battery, it is necessary to minimize the power used. To this end, the electrode is formed of a positive electrode plate and a negative electrode plate formed with a plurality of projections facing each other spaced apart from each other, it is possible to arrange the positive electrode portion and the negative electrode portion in a narrow space, by inducing charge to be collected at the end of the projection Even if the same current is applied, more intense electrolysis is performed at the end of the protrusion, so that a large amount of oxidant that sterilizes bacteria or bacteria in a short time is generated in a short time.

And, the brine prepared in the brine manufacturing step, like physiological saline, by pouring a salt to the concentration of 0.7% to 1.1% in the container and mixed with the water, depending on the amount of the water contained in the container, It should have the same concentration as that of body fluid, so that there is no difficulty in washing contact lenses or applying them to the nose of patients with rhinitis. To this end, in a state in which a constant water is put into the container, the amount of salt required for the concentration of water in the container to be 0.7% to 1.1% is stored in a separate capsule form, and then the capsule is opened to store water and By mixing, it is possible to more easily prepare sterilized water at a concentration suitable for physiological saline. In this way, the user can simply carry a capsule or ampoule that is as small as a nail without carrying the saline solution for the preparation of the sterilizing water, and thus can be used for the purpose of preparing the sterilizing water for the disinfection anywhere.

In the sterilization step, the negative electrode part and the positive electrode part are spaced apart in the brine, and ozone (O ₃ ), hydrogen peroxide (H ₂ O ₂ ), and OH generated by electrolyzing the brine by applying a current to the negative electrode part and the positive electrode plate. It is made of an oxidant such as a radical or hypochlorous acid (HOCl), and the production and sterilization of the oxidant by the electrolysis is performed by the following steps (1) to (5).

(1) Ozone is generated by electrolysis of water (H ₂ O) and finally ozone is formed through the following process where O and O ₂ are combined.

^{_{H 2 O -> H + +}} (OH) ads + e -

_{(OH) ads -> (O} ) ads + H + + e -

_{2 (OH) ads -> O} 2 + 2H + + 2e -

2 (O) _ads- > O ₂

(O) _ads + O _2- > O ₃

(2) Hydrogen peroxide is produced by the direct route by the electrolysis of oxygen and the indirect route produced by the combination of OH radicals, an intermediate product produced by ozone decomposition. In other words,

O _{2 ^{+ E - -> O 2 ·}} -

_{^{O 2 + 2H + + 2e -}} -> H 2 O 2

With a direct path such as

OH + OH-> H ₂ O ₂

Is generated by an indirect path such as

(3) HOCl reacts with H ₂ O to form HOCl after Cl ⁻ ions in water bind with Cl ₂ . In other words,

_{^{2Cl - -> Cl 2 + 2e}} -

^{_{2H 2 O + 2e - ->}} H 2 + 2OH ^-

_{Cl 2 + H 2 O ->} HOCl + H + + Cl -

(4) OH radical is directly measured is not possible, however, OH if ozone is present in the water due to disappear was instantly generated ^- or conjugate base of HO ₂ of the hydrogen ^{peroxide-forming} a and radical chain cycle reaction, and finally Produces OH radicals.

O ₃ + OH-> Radial Chain Reaction-> OH

O ₃ + HO ^{₂ -} (H ² conjugate base of O ₂₎ -> radical chain reaction -> OH ·

(5) Microorganisms (microorganisms) present in water are inactivated or removed by the oxidants produced, and the following microorganisms are removed by electrosorption, and the following microorganics are e- and It is removed by direct electrolysis reaction.

In other words, for Microorgainsm

M (Microorganism)-> Electrosorption-> Inactivation

Also,

M (Microorganism) + O _3- > Inactivation

M + OH ·-> Inactivation

M + HOCl-> Inactivation.

And about Microorganics,

M (Microorganics) + e--> M-

Also,

M (Microorganics) + O _3- > Product

M + OH

M + HOCl-> Product

That is, during electrolysis, oxidation and sterilization is performed smoothly by the mixed oxidants (O 3, H 2 O 2, HOCl, OH radicals) generated in the process of (1) to (5), and electrolysis is performed. Afterwards, high sterilizing power is maintained by high residual hypochlorous acid (HOCl). In addition, since the hypochlorous acid (HOCl) produced in step (3) is generated in weakly acidic to neutral saline, chlorine ion (Cl ⁻ ) or hypochlorite ion (Cl ⁻ ), which has a relatively low bactericidal power and may cause side effects in the human body (HCl). OCl ^- reducing the component ratio of), is able to significantly increase the disinfecting and sterilizing the composition ratio of the high hypochlorite (HOCl).

Hydrogen peroxide (H ₂ O ₂ ), which is produced during electrolysis, also has the ability to produce free radicals (HO · + O ·), which can convert proteins into low molecular weight peptides and amino acids. It breaks down into a water-soluble substance, and flocks to the double bond site to produce epoxides. More specifically, the free radicals produced in hydrogen peroxide are very reactive, oxidizing hydrogen peroxide by attacking other organic molecules such as proteins to achieve their stability. As a result, the protein is broken down into amino acids and made into a water-soluble substance, which effectively removes the protein that causes allergy. In other words, the oxidant can remove allergen-causing proteins by destroying the double bond between the carbon and nitrogen atoms of the amino acids that make up the protein, in addition to killing algae, bacteria, fungi, protozoa and viruses. Can be. Through this, if the oxidant prepared as described above is used for allergic diseases such as rhinitis, atopic dermatitis, it can be used for the treatment of allergic symptoms by modifying the protein that is the cause of allergy. It is also effective in treating infections of human papillomavirus (HPV), which causes cervical cancer.

In particular, by adjusting the concentration of saline to 0.9% or less, 0.9% isotonic solution or a high concentration of 0.9% or more, depending on the skin or mucosa condition, it is possible to generate and apply an oxidant having a desired concentration.

Herein, the negative electrode plate and the positive electrode plate are formed with concave-shaped protrusions facing each other, such that more charge is agglomerated on the protrusions to further promote the electrolysis reaction.

On the other hand, the negative electrode plate formed in a plate shape and the branch plate branched from the plate surface of the positive electrode plate protruding, the branch plate branched from the negative electrode plate and the branch plate branched from the positive electrode plate are arranged to face each other one by one, Opposite branch plates are formed with cathode and anode protrusions, respectively. Through this, it is possible to secure more areas where electrolysis occurs in a minimum space. Furthermore, another branch plate may be formed from the branch plate, and the cathode and anode protrusions may be formed on opposite surfaces of the other branch plates extending from the positive electrode unit and the negative electrode plate, respectively.

And, it may be configured to further comprise a filtration step to remove the impurities of the saline before the sterilization step. Through this, it is possible to effectively prevent the electrode part from being contaminated by the adhesion of impurities to the electrode part during the sterilization process by electrolysis.

On the other hand, the power supply unit can be configured to apply the application direction of the power applied to the electrode plate upside down. That is, by periodically changing (+) (-) of the power supplied to the negative electrode portion and the positive electrode portion, the initial negative electrode portion does not act only as the negative electrode portion, and at the same time, the initial positive electrode portion does not act as the positive electrode portion only, As one electrode part alternately functions as a negative electrode part and a positive electrode part, oxidation and reduction reactions occur alternately, thereby preventing solids from adhering to each electrode plate during the electrolysis process. The predetermined period may be set to a number of times from 1 to 10 times, or may be set in advance for a time such as 2 to 5 days.

In the saline preparation step, when a small amount of physiological saline of 0.1 L or less is to be prepared, the water is placed in a container, in proportion to the amount of water contained in the container, so that the concentration is about 0.9%. It can be prepared by mixing medicinal salt powder.

The sterilization step is performed by oxidizing the negative electrode part and the positive electrode part spaced apart from each other in the brine, and electrolyzing the brine by applying current of the negative electrode part and the positive electrode plate part, and the negative electrode part and the positive electrode part. The negative protrusions and the positive electrode protrusions which have sharp tips are formed to face each other. This is because even though a constant charge flows, a lot of charges are concentrated at the tips of the sharp protrusions of the negative electrode part and the positive electrode part, thereby facilitating more electrolysis. Therefore, when it is desired to induce the same electrolysis, it is possible to include a power supply having a lower capacity, and in particular, a battery having a small capacity can be utilized. Here, the tip portions of the cathode projection and the anode projection are not necessarily pointed, and may be columnar.

In this case, the cathode protrusion and the anode protrusion may be formed of or plated with platinum (Pt), titanium (Ti), graphite, or the like, which can most actively react with electrolysis. In addition, the thickness of the plating layer of the cathode projection and the anode projection is more thick than the plating layer thickness of the other portion is effective in terms of increasing the reaction life. In particular, in the case of being used as a portable, it is desirable to form a large size of the electrode plate while generating a large amount of oxidant, and thus, it is preferable to form or coat with platinum that can most actively react with electrolysis.

By applying the sterilized water prepared as described above to allergic diseases such as rhinitis and atopic dermatitis within 1 minute, it is possible to treat rhinitis and atopic diseases by modifying the protein, which is the causative agent of allergy, and to apply to the throat of the human mouth You can also disinfect your throat and sterilize your mouth. In addition, by applying the sterilized water prepared as described above to the athlete's foot disease site or inflamed mucous membrane or wounded within 1 minute after the athlete's foot can be effectively removed, and also applied to vegetables or vegetables, fresh fruit You can also stay healthy and vegetables. At this time, the application of the sterilized water within 1 minute is generally the maximum amount of residual chlorine after 30 seconds to 1 minute after the electrolysis, after which time may elapse. This is because the more rapidly decreases. This can be confirmed through the accompanying drawings that show experimental data graphically.

On the other hand, according to another field of the invention, the present invention, the container containing a salt water made by mixing salt with weakly acidic to neutral water; An electrode part having a negative electrode part formed at a position in communication with the container to sterilize the brine in the container, and a positive electrode part arranged to be spaced apart from the negative electrode part by a predetermined distance; A battery for supplying DC power to the electrode unit; It provides a device for producing a portable sterilizing water, characterized in that configured to include.

This is to provide a manufacturing apparatus for producing sterilized water having a high component ratio of hypochlorous acid according to the present invention described above.

The negative electrode unit and the positive electrode unit may include at least one negative electrode plate and a positive electrode plate having a plurality of negative electrode and positive electrode protrusions facing each other. In order to generate more oxidants in a narrower space, branch portions protrude from one surface of the negative electrode plate and the positive electrode plate, and the branch portions of the negative electrode plate and the branch portions of the positive electrode plate are arranged to face each other. A cathode projection and a cathode projection may be formed on the surfaces of the branch portions, respectively.

In addition, the negative electrode support jaw fixed to the negative electrode portion and the positive electrode support jaw is fixed to the positive electrode, and the negative electrode of the power supplied from the power supply unit connected to the negative electrode support jaw, and received from the power supply And a support configured to connect the anode of the power supply with the anode support jaw. Through this, the electrode part can be easily installed in the container, and the electrode part can be easily replaced by simply attaching and detaching the electrode part to the support jaw of the support. It is also possible to replace the electrode plate itself.

And a means for compensating a resistance value according to the concentration of the brine, to maintain a current supplied to the electrode installed in the brine in a predetermined range, and to maintain the current supplied to the electrode portion from the battery in a predetermined range. It further comprises a compensation means for compensating the voltage of.

In addition, the water is tap water or ground water, has the advantage that it can be easily obtained anywhere.

In addition, a switch is formed that instructs the electrode unit to supply power for a predetermined time so that the user simply operates the switch for the electrolysis time set by the manufacturer to generate an optimum amount of oxidant generation.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

However, in describing the present invention, a detailed description of known functions or configurations will be omitted to clarify the gist of the present invention.

Figure 3 is a flow chart showing a method for producing sterilized water according to an embodiment of the present invention. 3 to 16, the method for preparing sterilized water according to an embodiment of the present invention includes preparing a weak acid to neutral water 111 (S110) and mixing salt with the prepared water 111. To prepare a brine having a concentration of about 0.9% (S120), and applying an electric power to the electrode unit 140 installed in the brine 111 to generate an oxidant by electrolyzing the brine 111 brine (111) Sterilizing step (S130), and the difference between the concentration of the brine as a reference and the concentration of the brine contained in the container 110, the battery voltage and the actual voltage of the battery 160 installed in the device 100 as a reference Comprising a current adjustment step (S140) for compensating for the difference so that a constant current is applied to the electrode unit 140 is configured.

In the preparing of the water (S110), by preparing tap water or ground water which is weakly acidic to neutral water of pH 5.0 to pH 7.5, the amount of hypochlorous acid in the oxidant generated in the process of electrolyzing the brine which is the next step is determined. It can be maximized. In particular, when the sterilized water to be prepared is to be used for the purpose of injecting or ingesting the human body, it is preferable to use water having a pH range of 6.0 to pH 7.5, which is similar to the body fluid of the human body. At this time, when the tap water is boiled for a long time, since the pH is increased to alkaline water, it is necessary to use the tap water itself to secure weakly acidic to neutral water.

In the step of preparing the brine (S120), the salt is added to the brine of about 0.9% of the same concentration as the body fluid. To this end, after putting the water 111 by the scale (not shown) indicated in the container 110, the amount of salt that can make the concentration of the water 111 to about 0.9% into the container 110 and shake well By giving. At this time, since the user often does not have a scale for measuring the amount required to adjust the concentration of water 111 in the container 110 to 0.9%, the solubility of the sodium chloride solution based on the room temperature 20 ℃ In consideration of 35.8, a sodium chloride solution having an appropriate concentration can be obtained by adding 5.0 ml of saturated sodium chloride solution containing 1.8 g of sodium chloride. The amount of such saturated sodium chloride solution can be easily prepared by measuring and mixing the scale by reading the scale attached to the measuring vessel having a small inner diameter to prepare the brine.

The sterilization step (S130), the sterilization step (S30) is made by applying a DC power to the electrode portion 140 of the sterilizing water production apparatus 100 shown in Figs. Here, the electrode unit 140 includes a negative electrode plate 141 connected to receive the negative power from the power supply unit 16, a positive electrode plate 142 connected to receive the positive power from the power supply unit 160, and these electrode plates ( 141 and 142 is provided with a support 143 is installed. On the surfaces of each of the negative electrode plate 141 and the positive electrode plate 142 facing each other, as shown in FIG. 11, a plurality of pointed cone-shaped cathode protrusions 141a and anode protrusions plated with sufficient thickness are plated with platinum. 142a is formed to be spaced apart from the predetermined distance d1.

When the sterilization water production apparatus 100 configured as described above reaches a sterilization step (S20) to sterilize microorganisms, algae, viruses, etc. in the brine 111, power is supplied from the power supply unit 160 to the electrode plates 141 and 142. As the power is supplied, electric charge is concentrated in the cathode protrusion 141a and the anode protrusion 141b formed in each of the electrode plates 141 and 142. Therefore, the electrolysis of the brine 111 occurs vigorously between each of the projections (141a, 141b), the oxidants (ozone, hydrogen peroxide, hypochlorous acid, generated in a large amount by the electrolysis for only 30 seconds to 3 minutes, OH radicals, etc.) to remove the microorganisms in the tap water can be produced sterile sterilized water.

More specifically, O- sterilizes strong oxidation and bacteria and viruses, removes spores, OH- sterilizes as alkali and removes heavy metals, and O ₂ increases dissolved oxygen in water, making it a special water. ₃ is present only during electrolysis, but with a strong bactericidal power it can remove viruses, bacteria and spores. Therefore, it is possible to satisfy the microbial tolerance required for physiological saline that the amount of bacteria is 100 / g or 100 / ml or less and E. coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella should not be detected. At the same time, about 90% of the chlorine becomes hypochlorous acid (HOCl) having high sterilization ability, effectively removing various harmful bacteria such as algae, viruses, bacteria, microorganisms in the brine 111.

In the current adjustment step (S140), the operation is implemented by the circuit shown in FIG. That is, it is found that the amount of oxidant generated in the electrode unit 140 depends on the magnitude of the current applied to the electrode unit 140, and the current value applied to the electrode unit 140 is consumed by the battery 160. In spite of the difference in the concentration of the brine 111 is to be kept constant at all times.

In the circuit shown in Fig. 16, the directions of the currents supplied to the negative electrode plate 141 and the positive electrode plate 142 are periodically reversed, so that the first negative electrode plate 141 does not act as a negative electrode plate periodically. It acts as a positive electrode plate, and likewise, the first positive electrode plate 142 does not only act as a positive electrode plate and periodically as a negative electrode plate, thereby preventing the solid solution from adhering to each electrode plate during the electrolysis process. All. To this end, four transistors TR1, TR2, TR3, and TR4 serving as switching elements are formed in parallel, and the electrode unit 140 is positioned between the contacts 181 and 182 therebetween. Accordingly, when TR1 and TR4 are ON and TR2 and TR3 are OFF, current flows from the first contact 181 to the second contact 182, and when TR2 and TR3 are ON and TR1 and TR4 are OFF, Current flows from the contact 182 to the first contact 181.

At this time, the brine 111 between the negative electrode plate 141 and the positive electrode plate 142 serves as the resistor 111a of the circuit shown in FIG. Thus, even if the scale 110 is accommodated in the container 110 containing the brine 111, the concentration of the brine 111 may vary slightly due to carelessness of the user, and thus, the resistance 111a between the electrode plates 141 and 142. Is slightly different, and the magnitude of the current applied to the electrode unit 140 is slightly different. To compensate for this, the resistor is connected to the battery 160 by direct current, and the amount of current flowing through the resistor R is calculated.

For example, when the current flows from the first contact 181 to the second contact 182 when TR1 and TR4 are ON and TR2 and TR3 are OFF, the current value flowing through the resistor R is measured. When the current value is greater than the current value to be applied to the electrode unit 140, since the resistance value 111a of the brine 111 is unchanged, when the base current of the transistors TR1 and TR4 is slightly increased, the transistor TR1 is fine. Since a certain amount of voltage is required in TR4, the voltage value applied to the brine 111 becomes small, and accordingly, the magnitude of the current applied to the electrode unit 140 can be made smaller to be adjusted to a desired value. Similarly, when the current value flowing through the resistor R is measured, when it is smaller than the current value to be applied to the electrode unit 140, since the resistance value 111a of the salt water 111 is unchanged, the transistor TR1. When the base current of TR4 is finely reduced, a certain amount of voltage drop required in the transistors TR1 and TR4 is smaller, so that the voltage value applied to the brine 111 is increased, and thus, the electrode portion 140 is increased. The magnitude of the applied current can be made larger to suit the desired value.

As the voltage applied to the electrode unit 140 decreases according to the use of the battery 160, the same principle is applied to solve the phenomenon in which the current value applied to the electrode unit 140 decreases. Although the voltage of the initial battery 160 of the portable sterilizing water production apparatus 100 is about 3.3V, the battery 160 voltage is lowered to about 2.3V with use, so that during the initial sterilization time (current application time) Even if a current is applied to the electrode unit 140, the possibility of producing sterilized water which is not sufficiently sterilized or excessively sterilized water is produced. In order to prevent this, the voltage value of the resistor R connected in series with the battery 160 is measured, and the current value A flowing through the resistor R is measured. (In FIG. 16, the current flowing through the resistor R is equal to the current value to be applied to the electrode unit 140.) Then, the current value A flowing through the resistor R is to be applied to the electrode unit 140. FIG. If the value is larger than the value, the base current of the transistor in which the connection is in the ON state is finely increased so that a predetermined voltage drop amount is generated in the transistor, so that the current value applied to the electrode unit 160 can be maintained at a constant value. Will be.

Through this, even if the concentration of the brine 111 or the voltage of the battery 160 is not constant, it is possible to maintain a constant current value applied to the electrode unit 140, through which, it is applied to the electrode unit 140 Even if the time is constantly controlled, the sterilized water sufficiently sterilized with bacteria and viruses can be stably and reliably secured.

Meanwhile, although a DC-DC converter, which is conventionally used as a constant current holding circuit, may be used in the sterilizing water production apparatus or the method according to the present invention, the conventional DC-DC converter has a complicated structure and is a portable device. In addition, it is not suitable for the semiconductor device, because the voltage consumption is large due to the property that the current does not flow until about 0.7V or more flows. It was impossible to do. However, the present invention, as described above, by adjusting the current value applied to the electrode portion 140 by finely adjusting the base current of the transistor serving as the switching element, the battery having a rated voltage of about 3.0V At 160, it is possible to apply a constant current to the electrode portion 140 of the portable sterilizing water production apparatus 100.

The sterilized water prepared by the above process can be easily prepared with weakly acidic to neutral tap water which can be easily obtained. Even if there is no facility, even in places such as homes and hospitals, it is possible to manufacture sterilized water having a high content ratio of hypochlorous acid, which has high sterilizing power even at a user scale. Furthermore, compared to general distilled water, brine is more intensely electrolyzed to increase the amount of oxidant, thereby minimizing the consumption of the battery 160, while generating an oxidant including a large amount of hypochlorous acid to quickly sterilize the water. It becomes possible to manufacture.

On the other hand, one embodiment of the present invention may optionally add a filtration step to remove impurities in the brine to the sterilized water production method.

Hereinafter, the configuration of the portable sterilizing water production apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

As shown in Figures 4 to 13, the portable sterilizing water production apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, the container 110 for receiving water to produce the sterilizing water, and the sterilizing water is inflamed The spray unit 120 spraying on the mucous membrane or the wounded part or the inside of the nose, the body case 130 mounted on the bottom of the container 110, and the position communicating with the container 110 inside the body case 130. It is installed in the electrode unit 140 to sterilize the water of the container 110, the control unit 150 for controlling the electrode unit 140, and a power supply unit 160 for supplying power to the electrode unit 140 includes It is configured by.

The container 110 accommodates the weakly acidic to neutral water 111, and has a sealing ring 112 that is fitted to the portion coupled with the main body case 130 so that water does not leak to the bottom of the container 111. do. Here, in order to increase the component ratio of hypochlorous acid (HOCl) in the electrolysis state, it is preferable to use tap water or ground water of pH 5.0 to pH 7.5. In this case, a separate container provided with a filter may be used as purified water from which impurities of general tap water or ground water are removed. At this time, the brine is preferred in terms of promoting the reaction of the electrode plate, but also has the best efficacy in disinfecting or cleaning the inside of the nose. To this end, it is effective to use a brine concentration of about 0.9% the same as the body fluids of the human body.

The spraying unit 120 is a spraying case 121 coupled to the screw 111a formed on the upper portion of the container 111, and a spray pipe 122 which is a passage for raising the sterilizing water in the container 111 to the outside. ), An injector 123 communicating with the injection tube 122 on the outer wall of the injection case 121 to inject sterilization water, and a vacuum chamber formed to generate a force for drawing up the sterilization water into the injection tube 122. 124.

Here, in order to inject the sterilizing water to the outside through the spraying unit 120, when the user presses with a finger in the direction of the arrow of FIG. 4, the space in the vacuum chamber 124 is narrowed and widened momentarily to expand the spraying tube ( The sterilizing water is drawn up to the spray unit 120 through 122, and sprayed in the form of fine droplets through the sprayer 123. At this time, the restoring to be pressed and widened again is because a coil spring (not shown) is installed in the vacuum chamber 124. In this regard, in order to prevent the spring from corroding when the sterilizing water is weakly acidic, the spring is made of platinum coated platinum steel. Although the spring may be made of plastic, plastic is not preferred because it is very weak against repeated loads.

The main body case 130 is coupled to a screw thread formed on the lower inner circumferential surface of the container 111 and accommodates the first chamber 131 on which the electrode unit 140 is installed, the control unit 150, and the power supply unit 160. And a second chamber 132, an operation switch 133 that the user presses to operate the electrode unit 140, and a display unit 134 displaying an operation state.

Here, the first chamber 131 is in communication with the container 111 is formed so that the water of the container 110 flows through the through-hole 131a, the second chamber 132 is the control unit 150 and the power source The supply unit 160 is formed to be separated from the first chamber 131 to prevent water in the first chamber 131 from penetrating.

Then, when the user presses the operation switch 133, the electrode unit 140 is supplied with power only for the pre-stored operation time required for the preparation of the sterilizing water.

The electrode unit 140 is fixed to the partition wall 148 in the first chamber 131 by a fixing screw 144, and is connected to the control unit to receive power from the control unit 150. At this time, through-holes (not shown) are formed in the partition wall 148 on which the electrode portions 140 are placed for connection between the power supply rods 161 and 162 of the controller 150 and the electrode portions 140. A rubber packing (not shown) is formed at an edge portion of the bottom surface of the support 143 to prevent water in the first chamber 131 from flowing into the second chamber 132 through the through hole.

 Here, a rubber packing plate 148a larger than the diameter of the partition wall 148 is attached to the bottom surface of the partition wall 148 and is larger than the diameter of the partition wall 148. The flow into the second chamber 132 is prevented. Therefore, the diameter d 'of the partition wall 148 is formed to be slightly smaller than the inner diameter d of the first chamber 131, thereby implementing waterproofing by the rubber packing plate 148a. At this time, the rubber packing plate 148a may be formed so as to surround the edge surface of the partition wall 148 in a ring shape instead of a plate shape. The other electrode 140 may be installed in one of the electrode plates 140, 240, and 340 of FIGS. 12 to 15 or laid down, and a detailed configuration thereof will be described later.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 16, the control unit 150 includes electrodes for a predetermined time according to the input of the control circuit seating plate 151 and the operation switch 133 on the control circuit seating plate 151. A control circuit 152 (FIG. 16) for supplying power to the unit 140, displaying an operating state on the indicator 134, and in some cases controlling the power supply to the electrode unit 140 to be reversed. The battery accommodating part 153 accommodates the battery 160 for supplying power to the electrode part 140, the bottom plate 154 fixed to the bottom surface of the control circuit seating plate 151, and the bottom plate 154. And a battery cover 155 for opening and closing the ball 154a.

Here, the side wall 151a protrudes upward along the outer circumference of the control circuit seating plate 151 to contact the front end surface of the side wall 151a and the upper surface 132a of the second chamber 132. Through this, sufficient space is provided between the bottom surface of the control circuit seating plate 151 and the top surface 132a of the second chamber 132 to allow the control circuit 152 to be seated.

In addition, a screw groove (not shown) for accommodating the fixing bolt 156 is formed in the upper surface 132a of the second chamber 132, and the fixing bolt 156 controls the fixing hole 154b of the bottom plate 154. When the fixing hole 151b of the circuit seating plate 151 is fixed to the screw groove, the control unit 150 and the power supply unit 160 are installed in the main body case 130.

In the drawing, reference numeral 133a is a signal line connecting the controller 150, the operation switch 133, and the indicator 134, and 155a is a metal plate for supplying power to the battery 160. A separate signal line is connected to the controller 150 from the metal plate 155a.

The power supply unit 160 includes a battery 160 having a rated voltage of 3.0V (Volt), a positive power rod 161, and a negative power rod 162. Power from the battery 160 is supplied to the electrode unit 140 through the negative electrode rod 161 and the positive electrode rod 162. In this connection, when the control circuit seat plate 151 and the bottom plate are fixed to the second chamber 132 with the fixing bolt 156 in the state in which the electrode unit 140 is inserted into the first chamber 131, the negative electrode power rod The 161 and the positive electrode rod 162 may be connected to the electrode 140 to supply power to the electrode 140 from the battery 160.

On the other hand, the spraying unit 120 may be formed in a form that can control the spray direction, may be formed in the form of spraying toward the front, when moving without using for a long time, the water in the container 111 However, the sterilizing water may be formed to have a stopper role so as not to leak to the outside.

Assembly of the apparatus for manufacturing portable sterilized water 100 configured as described above is as follows.

Assembling the body case 130 in a state in which the sealing ring 112 is inserted into the container 121 made of a plastic material. Then, the electrode 140 is inserted into the first chamber 131 through the bottom open end of the body case 130. Then, in a state where the control circuit seating plate 151 is placed in the second chamber 132, the bottom plate 154 is folded on the bottom surface of the control circuit seating plate 151 with the fixing bolt 156. 151 and the bottom plate 154 are fixed to the body case 130. In this case, the electrodes 161 and 162 may be connected to the electrode unit 140 to supply power from the battery 160 to the electrode unit 140.

On the other hand, when the platinum plating formed on the electrode plates 141 and 142 of the electrode unit 140 is exhausted by using the portable sterilizing water production apparatus 100 assembled as described above for a long time, the reverse order of the assembling order is replaced. The apparatus 100 for disinfecting the portable sterilizing water is disassembled from each other, and the support 143 of the electrode unit 140 is separated from the partition wall 148 and replaced.

Hereinafter, the operating principle of the apparatus 100 for producing portable sterilizing water of one embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

The manufacturer obtains the optimum time required for washing the water in the container 111 in advance, and ships the apparatus 100 for producing portable sterilized water in a state in which the control circuit 152 is stored in advance. If the user purchases such a product to prepare sterilized water to disinfect the nose or the wound, the container 111 is put some clean water such as tap water or ground water. Then, the capsule (not shown) containing the salt solution or the salt powder of the high concentration which can make the water contained in the container 111 into the salt water (saline) with a concentration of about 0.9% is opened, Mix with water. As a result, the water in the vessel 111 becomes about 0.9% saline. Meanwhile, commercially available saline solution may be directly added to the container 111.

Then, when the user presses the operation switch 133 to sterilize the water in the container 111, the positive power and the negative power of the positive electrode portion and the negative electrode portion of the electrode portion 140 in the container 111 are set in advance, respectively. Only for a while. At this time, the display unit 134 displays a message, "in operation," which indicates that power is being applied to the electrode unit. At this time, when no water is contained in the container 111, since the positive electrode part and the negative electrode part are spaced apart from each other, the flow of current is automatically blocked, and only when the container 111 contains water. Current flows through water or salt water between the negative electrode portions.

While power is applied for a predetermined time, electrolysis is actively performed in the electrode unit 140 to generate a large amount of oxidant in a short time, and a circulation fan (not shown) in the container 111 rotates to supply water in the container 111. It circulates into the first chamber 131. At the same time, a blowing fan (not shown) around the electrode part 140 is rotated to discharge heat generated from the electrode part 140 to the outside, and hot air is supplied through the vent hole (not shown) of the main body case 130. Release to the outside.

Then, when power is applied for a preset time and the saline sterilization operation is completed by the oxidant generated from the electrode unit 140, the display unit 134 displays the message "washing completion" indicating that the sterilization operation of the sterilization water is completed. Is displayed. Even if the sterilization is completed, if the user wants to store the sterilized water for a long time without using the sterilized water immediately, the sprayer 120 is separated and closed with a cap that acts as a cap so that the outside air is inside the container 111. To prevent penetration. Through this, the sterilized water is not contaminated by the outside air, and thus it is possible to maintain the sterilized state for a long time.

On the other hand, after using about once to 10 times, when the sterilized water to be manufactured using the portable sterilizing water production apparatus 100, the flow direction of the current supplied from the power supply unit 160 is applied upside down. Therefore, it is possible to automatically suppress the attachment of the solid solution to the positive electrode portion and the negative electrode plate of the electrode portion 140 through electrolysis.

That is, in the portable sterilizing water production apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in Figure 6, the positive electrode portion 141 and the negative electrode portion 142 in the water 111 in the container 110 Leave it at a predetermined distance, and apply power from the power supply unit 160 through the power supply line 161 to induce electrolysis in the water 111, ozone, OH radical, hypochlorous acid appearing in the reaction of electrolysis It uses the principle of sterilizing bacteria and bacteria using oxidants such as (HOCl). More specifically, the electrode unit 140 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be formed of any one of the electrode plates 140, 240 and 340 of FIGS.

At this time, the device 100 having the electrode portion 140, as shown in Figure 6, the container 110 for receiving the water 111, and the electrode portion fixed to the bottom surface of the container 110 140 and a power supply unit 140 for supplying power to the electrode unit 140.

The power supply unit 140 may be an external AC power, DC power converted from AC power, or DC power supplied to a battery. The negative power line 161 from the power supply unit 140 is connected to the negative electrode plate 141, and the positive power line 162 from the power supply unit 140 is connected to the positive electrode plate 142.

As shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, the electrode unit 140 includes a negative electrode plate 141 having a plurality of negative electrode protrusions 141a formed on a surface thereof, and a positive electrode plate having a plurality of positive electrode protrusions 142 a formed on a surface thereof. 142, the negative electrode plate 141 and the positive electrode plate 142 is fixed to the bottom of the container 110, the support 143 and the fixing hole 143a of the support 143 through the container It is configured to include a fixing screw 144 for fixing to the bottom surface of (110).

Here, the negative electrode plate 141 and the positive electrode plate 142 are spaced apart by a predetermined interval d2 and fixed to the support 142, spaced apart by a predetermined interval d1, and faced to face each other so as to face each other. Conical cathode projections 141a and anode projections 142a formed from the projections, and the charges applied to the electrode plates 141 and 142 are concentrated on the tip portions B of the projections 141a and 142a and face each other. A plurality of conductive paths spaced apart from each other are formed between and 142a. Therefore, the electrolysis of water between the cathode protrusion 141a and the anode protrusion 142 can be further promoted as compared with the case where the same power is applied.

In addition, the cathode protrusion 141a and the anode protrusion 142a are thickly plated with platinum to allow active electrolysis.

And, as shown in Fig. 11, the support 143 is connected to the negative electrode plate connecting slot 1431 and the positive electrode plate 141 formed to insert and fix the negative electrode plate 141 and the positive electrode plate 142 to insert and fix the positive electrode plate 142. Slot 1432 is formed. 13, a cathode power line 161 is connected to a negative electrode plate connection slot 1431, and a cathode power line 162 is connected to a positive electrode plate connection slot 1432 in the support 143. It is configured to be connected, so as to simply insert the electrode plate (141,142) in the slots (1431, 1432) of the support 143, the power is configured to be supplied to the electrode plate (141,142). Here, although FIG. 10 shows the power supply lines 161 and 162 on the side for convenience, this actually supplies power while the power supply rods 161 and 162 of FIG. 5 are fitted to the electrode unit 140.

 Therefore, when the platinum of the electrode plates 141 and 142 is consumed, the replacement is completed by simply removing the consumed electrode plates 141 and 142 from the slots 1431 and 1422 and inserting the new electrode plates 141 and 142 into the slots. Therefore, the portable sterilizing water production apparatus 100 configured as described above can be used semi-permanently.

Hereinafter, the operating principle of the apparatus 100 for producing portable sterilizing water including the electrode unit will be described in detail.

When the user wants to manufacture the sterilized water to be washed and sterilized using the apparatus 100, the container 110 is filled with tap water 111 of pH 6.5 to the portion indicated by the ruler, and the inside of the container 110 Open a capsule or a small-capacity bag containing salt that can make water about 0.9% of the brine, and mix the salt into the water in the container 110 and shake. Then, when power is applied from the battery 160 which is a power supply, power is supplied from the power supply unit 160 to the negative electrode plate connection slot 1431 and the positive electrode plate connection slot 1432 of the support 143. At this time, as described above, the voltage of the resistor R connected in series with the battery 160 is measured to calculate a current value flowing through the resistor R. After comparing this with the current value to be applied to the electrode unit 140, if there is a difference between the current values, the base current values of the transistors TR1, TR2, TR3, and TR4 are adjusted and applied to the electrode unit 140. Keep the current value to be constant.

At the same time and after the adjustment of the current value, through each of the connection slots 1431 and 1432, the negative power is supplied to the negative electrode plate 141 and the positive power is supplied to the positive electrode plate 142. At this time, the power is applied to the negative electrode plate 141 and the positive electrode plate 142, but charges are concentrated on the negative electrode projections 141a and the positive electrode projections 142a formed on opposite surfaces of the respective electrode plates 141 and 142. . Therefore, electrolysis occurs violently between the protrusions 141a and 142a, and oxidants such as ozone, hydrogen peroxide, hypochlorous acid (HOCl), and OH radicals generated in a large amount through the intense electrolysis are generated in the brine in the container. In particular, by electrolyzing weakly acidic to neutral saline, most of the chlorine is converted to hypochlorous acid (HOCl) having high disinfectant disinfection ability to effectively wash foreign substances, proteins, bacteria, bacteria, etc. contained in the saline in a short time, Sterilization and disinfection are possible.

Since the apparatus 100 needs only to install the electrode plates 141 and 142 having protrusions 141a and 142a formed in the container, the size of the portable sterilizing water production apparatus 100 may be small enough to be convenient to carry. In addition, although no separate controller is mounted, a timer or the like is installed to cause electrolysis only during a predetermined time.

In order to test the sterilization performance of the portable sterilizing water production apparatus 100 thus produced, the following experiment was performed. That is, as shown in Figure 8, a pair of negative electrode plate and the positive electrode plate side by side so that 36 small projections face each other, the battery 160 voltage is applied 3.0V, for 0.9% saline, After the electrolysis reaction for 10 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds, the amount of hypochlorous acid remaining was measured. As a result, as shown in Fig. 17, immediately after the electrolysis reaction, the concentration of the instantaneous hypochlorous acid increased, but as the time passed, the concentration of hypochlorous acid decreased, and after about 5 minutes, the remaining hypochlorous acid (HOCl) remained. The concentrations of were 0.6mg / L, 0.8mg / L, and 0.95mg / L for 10, 20, and 30 seconds electrolyzed sterilized water, respectively. In other words, when the sterilized water is prepared according to the present invention, sterilized water having a high component ratio of hypochlorous acid can be obtained, but since about 1 minute elapses immediately after the electrolysis, the amount of hypochlorous acid starts to decrease rapidly. It can be seen that the sterilization effect can be maximized by applying to a desired site within 1 minute after the preparation.

In addition, the CT value of free chlorine required to remove 99% of the microorganisms in water is known to be 0.13 mg / L / min. Here, the CT value (concentration * time) is obtained by multiplying the concentration (mg / L) of free chlorine by the contact time (min). In order to remove a certain amount of microorganisms, chlorine having a constant concentration (at this time, slightly acidic to neutral) Most free chlorine means hypochlorous acid because it uses water, which means that it must remain in contact for some time. Therefore, if the concentration of hypochlorous acid is high, this means that the contact time with hypochlorous acid may be shorter. As a result of the experiment under the above conditions, the following CT values were obtained for residual chlorine.

That is, in the sterilized water which was electrolyzed for 10 seconds, 20 seconds, and 30 seconds with the sterilizing water producing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention, all of the time required to remove 99% of the microorganisms did not take 10 seconds. It can be seen that it has an excellent disinfectant disinfection power.

Similarly, the results of testing the sterilization performance of the sterilized water prepared according to the present invention for a specific microorganism are as follows. Similarly, a power source of about 3 V was applied to 0.9% of 30 mL of brine in a state where the electrode plates on which projections were formed were provided at intervals of 1 mm. In addition, as a result of experiments on the degree of inactivation of the target microorganisms during the electrolysis and after the electrolysis for 20 seconds, the results shown in Tables 2 and 3 were obtained.

Where CFU / mL represents the population of live Escherichia coli. (E.coli) microorganisms per mL, No is the initial active population, N is the active population over time, and log is an index of 10 Mean commercial log. As shown in Table 2, in the case of Escherichia coli. (E. coli) microorganisms, by electrolysis for about 30 seconds, only less than 1/100 of the total microorganisms remained active. In other words, the remaining 99% showed inactivation. (Ie log (N / No) is less than -2, so we can see that more than 99% is inactive)

In addition, as shown in Table 3, 99.9% of MS2 phage virus was inactivated during about 15 seconds of electrolysis, and after 4 minutes of 30 seconds of electrolysis, more than 99.99% of the virus was inactivated. You can see that it is activated.

As such, when a pair of small electrode plates are arranged side by side to induce violent electrolysis in the projections formed to face each other on each electrode plate, and a power supply having a battery capacity level of about 3 V is provided, a maximum of 99.99% is achieved within 35 seconds. In addition to removing microorganisms or viruses, it is possible to easily prepare sterilized water having high sterilizing power. Moreover, the sterilized water prepared in this way can not only directly use water which is easy to obtain such as tap water or ground water, but also the component ratio of hypochlorous acid having excellent sterilizing power is much higher than in the related art.
