Description

[0001] APPARATUS OF TREATING ZEOLITE USING MIXED LIQUID INCLUDING ZEOLITE [0002]

More particularly, the present invention relates to a zeolite treatment apparatus, which maximizes the rate of zeolite deposition on a fabric, thereby shortening the processing time and miniaturizing the manufacturing facility, and diversifying the vibration generating unit to uniformly distribute the zeolite To a zeolite treatment field using a zeolite mixed solution capable of uniformly and accurately maintaining and controlling the zeolite deposition rate.

Zeolite is a generic term for minerals that are aluminum silicate hydrates of alkali and alkaline earth metals.

By heating the zeolite at a specific temperature for a certain period of time, it releases cations or water and accepts other molecules into the pores. Through this process, size selection and shape selection for fine particles can be performed, And zeolite porous molecular sieves in which some or all of silicon and aluminum of zeolite are replaced with various other elements have been widely used in industry.

Such zeolites and the like are generally present as fine powders, and in order to utilize them effectively, studies have been actively conducted to adhere fine molecular sieve particles in the form of fine powder to the surface of a substrate.

In recent years, zeolite has been applied to fabrics used for blinds and party knives, and the conventional methods of attaching the zeolite have to treat the zeolite separately from the coating of the fabric itself or the anti-flame treatment process, , There is a problem that the process time is increased and the process efficiency is lowered by preparing a separate process facility accordingly.

To improve this, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-1414038 entitled " Zeolite treatment apparatus and method using zeolite mixture liquid ", zeolite powder is treated together with a coating agent or a flame retardant in the form of a mixed solution, A zeolite treatment apparatus and a method thereof have been disclosed.

However, in the case of the above-mentioned method, the zeolite powder mixed in the mixed liquid is submerged on the bottom surface of the water tank due to its own weight over time, so that the density of the zeolite is high on the bottom surface of the water tank, There is a problem that the deposition rate of the zeolite is lowered due to the low density. In order to prevent this, the zeolite has to be constantly injected into the mixed solution, so that the material cost is increased and the process efficiency is lowered.

Particularly, in the above case, since the density of zeolite in the mixed liquid is not uniform, there is a problem that it is impossible to keep the deposition rate constant, which can not guarantee the reliability of the product quality.

In this case, there is a problem that a noise is generated in operation of the vibration generating unit, so that the worker is easy to work and the work environment is hindered. In addition, So that the water tank and the apparatus are broken or severely damaged.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to maximize the efficiency of attaching zeolite to a fabric immersed in a mixed solution by providing a plurality of side vibration generating portions and to shorten the time for immersing the fabric in the mixed solution at the same deposition rate, The size of the water tank can be made small, thereby making it possible to miniaturize the manufacturing facility. In the same manufacturing facility, it is possible to freely control the deposition rate of the zeolite by selectively operating the plurality of vibration generating units And a zeolite treatment apparatus using the zeolite mixture solution.

It is a further object of the present invention to provide a zeolite membrane which is capable of uniformly and accurately maintaining and controlling the zeolite deposition rate by allowing the lower vibration generating section to float zeolite particles settling on the bottom of the water tank, And a zeolite treatment apparatus using the zeolite mixed solution.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a vibration generating apparatus which is capable of minimizing noise caused by the operation of the vibration generating unit by providing a stepped bent portion on the surface provided with the vibration generating unit, And to provide a zeolite treatment apparatus using the zeolite mixture solution.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the above object can be accomplished by providing a water treatment apparatus comprising: a water tank containing a mixed solution containing zeolite powder; A conveying unit including a roller provided in the water tank for conveying the raw material so that the raw material is immersed in the mixed liquid in the water tank during the set immersion time; And a side vibration generating part provided at a plurality of side surfaces of the water tank to generate a vibration wave toward the fabric immersed in the water tank and to move and attach the zeolite powder in the mixture liquid to the raw fabric, Lt; / RTI >

And a lower vibration generating unit provided on one side of the bottom surface of the water tank to float the zeolite powder settled on the bottom of the water tank and to move and adhere the zeolite powder toward the fabric.

The lower vibration generating unit may be provided in plurality.

In each of the above embodiments, an agitator may be further provided, which is provided on one side of the water tank and floats the zeolite powder that has settled on the bottom of the water tank and mixes the water into the mixed liquid.

The roller may be provided in two or more.

When the rollers are provided so that the odd number of the rollers cross the upper and lower sides at different heights from the bottom surface of the water tank, the lower vibration generating unit is provided between the crossed rollers, and vibrates at the same time toward the fabric positioned in at least two different directions May be provided.

The lower vibration generating portion may be provided corresponding to the number of the intersecting rollers.

The bottom surface of the water tank in which the lower vibration generating unit is provided may be provided with a bending portion forming a stepped portion protruding toward the inside or the outside of the water tank.

The side surface of the water tank in which the side vibration generating unit is provided may be provided with a bending portion forming a step protruding toward the inside or outside of the water tank.

The vibration generating unit may be an ultrasonic wave generating unit or a low frequency generating unit.

Therefore, according to the zeolite treatment apparatus using the zeolite mixed solution according to the present invention, by providing a plurality of side vibration generating portions, it is possible to maximize the efficiency of attaching the zeolite to the raw material immersed in the mixed solution. Therefore, it is possible to shorten the time for immersing the fabric in the mixed solution at the same deposition rate, shortening the manufacturing time, and thus making it possible to make the size of the water tank small, thereby miniaturizing the manufacturing facility. In addition, in the same manufacturing facility, there is an advantage that the rate of deposition of zeolite can be freely controlled by selectively operating a plurality of vibration generating units.

1 is a structural view of a conventional zeolite treatment apparatus,
2 to 6 are diagrams showing the construction of a zeolite treatment apparatus using a zeolite mixed solution according to various embodiments of the present invention,
7 is an enlarged photograph of the fabric treated according to the present invention.

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

1, a zeolite treatment apparatus 1 using a zeolite mixture according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a water tank 10 containing a mixed solution containing zeolite powder, a roller 31 provided in the water tank 10, A transfer unit 30 for transferring the raw fabric S so that the raw fabric S is immersed in the mixed liquid in the water tank 10 during the set immersion time including the raw water S, And a side vibration generating part 41 for generating vibrating waves toward the fabric immersed in the mixed liquid and moving and attaching the zeolite powder in the mixed liquid to the raw material S.

Hereinafter, each configuration will be described in detail.

The water tank 10 contains a mixed solution containing zeolite powder.

It goes without saying that the shape and size of the water tank 10 may be variously provided without limitation.

The solvent of the mixed solution may be prepared in various types, for example, pure water alone or various additives in water.

Specifically, the solvent of the mixed solution may be an alcohol, preferably an alcohol having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, in pure water.

The alcohols have an effect of improving the degree of dispersion of zeolite in the mixed solution, and have an effect of increasing the amount of deposition after the reaction. Therefore, although it is advantageous to increase the mixing ratio of alcohols, alcohols have volatility and flammability. Therefore, when the mixing ratio of alcohols is too large, there is a risk of exposure to fire or the like in carrying out the process of attaching zeolite. Therefore, it is preferable to mix the alcohols in an appropriate ratio in consideration of the degree of dispersion, adhesion, and flammability of the alcohols.

Therefore, in the zeolite treatment apparatus 1 using the zeolite mixed solution according to the present invention, the content of the alcohol in the solvent of the mixed solution may be in the range of 1 to 59%, and preferably the content of the alcohol is in the range of 5 to 30 %. ≪ / RTI > This is because if the content of alcohols exceeds 30%, the flash point of the mixture becomes drastically low. On the contrary, if the content of alcohols is less than 5%, the effect of the adhesion rate and the degree of dispersion is insignificant. This is due to repeated experiments of the present applicant to derive the optimum range.

The zeolite (100) used in the present invention may be various kinds such as natural and synthetic.

Specifically, the zeolite of all or a portion of silicon and aluminum elements in the skeleton (P), boron (B), gallium (Ga), titanium (Ti), such as substituted with other elements ring molecular sieve, that is, for example, AlPO ₄ , SAPO, MeAPO, MeAPSO and the like can be used.

Alternatively, a porous metal or silicon oxide such as silicalite, MCM-based porous silica, porous titanium dioxide, niobium oxide, TS-1, ETS-10 and the like may be used, and various other elements may be used singly or in combination. A porous molecular sieve made by using a composite may be used.

The zeolite 100 according to the present invention may be used for antibacterial zeolite or sorbent zeolite. The zeolite to be stirred with the mixed solution 20 to be described later may be an antimicrobial zeolite, Zeolite can be used as an adsorbent zeolite.

Since the zeolite treated on the fabric (S) has gas adsorption and ion exchange functions, it performs functions such as deodorization, dehumidification, storage and maintenance of new gifts, removal of toxic gas adsorption, and antibacterial function. It has deodorizing ability about twice as much as that of the same amount of activated carbon for the four odor components such as ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, trimethylamine and methyl mercaptan, and also has the effect of removing organic chemical gas.

The zeolite 100 can be pre-treated if necessary before the preparation of the mixed solution 20 and the ion exchange can be performed with all the metal ions such as Au, Ag, Pt, Ti, Zn and Fe, Or may contain nanoparticles of the metal ions.

The zeolite 100 can be provided with various particle sizes. For example, since the zeolite itself has porosity, the smaller the particle size, the more the surface area increases and the function such as antimicrobial or deodorization can be improved. Therefore, particles of 500 nm or less can be used.

The fabric (S) may be any kind of known fabrics such as blinds, curtains, party knives, clothes or bedclothes which are used for domestic or office use without limitation.

The mixed liquid 20 may be prepared by stirring the zeolite 100 using a coating agent or a flame retardant as a solvent for coating the fabric S.

The coating material may be a material commonly used for coating the cloth S, without limitation, and may be provided, for example, with a polyester resin.

The mixed liquid 20 may include only one of a coating agent or a flame-retardant, or both. In this case, the coating agent or the flame retardant solution and the zeolite mixture ratio can be variously modified depending on the fabric and application, and can be stirred, for example, in a weight ratio of 1: 0.01 to 0.1.

The transfer unit 30 includes a roller 31 provided in the water tank 10 to transfer the raw material S such that the raw water S is immersed in the mixed liquid 20 in the water tank 10 during the set immersion time.

1, the conveying unit 30 includes a roller 31. The roller 31 is provided inside the water tub 10 to allow the raw material S to pass the mixed liquid 20 for a set time So that the mixed liquid 20 is immersed.

The rollers 31 may be provided in various ways, for example, as shown in FIG. 1 to FIG. 4. Alternatively, the rollers 31 may be provided in a plurality of rollers as shown in FIGS. .

The feeding speed of the fabric S can be variously adjusted according to the type of the fabric S and the mixed liquid 20. For example, the fabric S may be immersed in the mixed liquid 20 for about 1 to 10 seconds can do. For example, when the antimicrobial zeolite powder is mixed with the coating agent or the flame retardant at the above weight ratio, and the fabric S is a blind or party knife fabric, it is preferably about 4 seconds or less.

FIG. 7A is an enlarged photograph of a fabric that has not yet been subjected to any treatment, and FIG. 7B is an enlarged photograph of a fabric S treated with the flame-resistant liquid 200. FIG. Referring to the photograph, it can be confirmed that the flame-retardant 200 is coated on the fabric S.

7 (c) is an enlarged photograph of the fabric S treated by the mixed solution 20 in which the flame-retarding liquid 200 and the zeolite 100 are stirred. Referring to the photograph, it can be confirmed that the zeolite 100 is attached to the fabric S.

Thus, the zeolite powder is treated together with the coating agent or the flame retardant in the form of a mixed solution, so that the zeolite treatment on the fabric is easy, while the zeolite treatment is possible together with the coating process or the flame retardant treatment process. At the same time, the zeolite treatment efficiency can be improved.

Further, since the mixed solution is used, it is very easy to control the treatment range (area and position) of the zeolite and the concentration (stirring amount) of the zeolite. In addition, there is an advantage that it can be used in the process of the fabric which does not have a drying process depending on the ratio of the mixed liquid and the air amount, regardless of the processing speed of the fabric.

As described above, the immersion time may be varied according to the type and purpose of the fabric S, and may be set in a range of 1 to 10 seconds for a fabric such as a blind, Preferably about 4 seconds.

The vibration generating unit 40 is provided on the side surface or the bottom surface of the water tank 10 and generates vibration waves in the mixed liquid 20 in the water tank 10. Thus, the zeolite 100 contained in the mixed liquid 20 is moved in the direction of the raw material S by the vibration wave, and is attached to the raw material S as well.

As shown in FIGS. 2 to 6, the side vibration generating unit 41 according to the present invention has an advantage that it is possible to maximize the efficiency of attaching the zeolite to the raw material S immersed in the mixed liquid 20 have. Therefore, it is possible to shorten the time for immersing the fabric in the mixed solution at the same deposition rate, shortening the manufacturing time, and thus making it possible to make the size of the water tank small, thereby miniaturizing the manufacturing facility. In addition, in the same manufacturing facility, there is an advantage that the rate of deposition of zeolite can be freely controlled by selectively operating a plurality of vibration generating units.

The lower vibration generating portion 45 is provided at one side of the bottom surface of the water tank 10 to float the zeolite powder that has settled on the bottom of the water tank 10 and to move and attach the zeolite powder toward the raw material S.

The side vibration generating section 41 performs the stirring, moving and adhering function of the zeolite powder in the mixed liquid 20 while the lower vibration generating section 45 is provided with the zeolite immersed or submerged on the bottom surface of the mixed liquid 20, The powder is allowed to float so that the zeolite is stirred in the mixed liquid 20 at a uniform density.

4, a bent portion 15 is formed at one side of a side surface of a water tank 10 provided with a side vibration generating portion 41 to form a step protruding toward the inside of the water tank 10 .

Here, the step is for minimizing the noise generated when the entire water tub 10 vibrates due to the vibration generated by the vibration generating unit 40, or damage or failure due to vibration accumulation. Therefore, And it is of course possible to provide various known shapes as long as the shape of the stepped portion corresponds to the purpose of forming the bending portion 15.
