Description

The claimed technical solution relates to the field of obtaining biologically active drinking water with a reduced content of deuterium in it by its isotopic separation into depleted and enriched in deuterium fractions.

Water from the point of view of chemistry is a substance consisting of H ₂ O molecules. There is no completely pure water in nature, it always contains mechanical, chemical and biological impurities.

The H ₂ O molecule consists of two elements, each of which is a mixture of isotopes. Hydrogen in nature is represented by two stable isotopes:

- protium (designation ¹ H or H)

- deuterium (designation ² H or D).

The natural content of isotopes ¹ N and ² N in natural objects is 99.985 and 0.015%. Light (rich in H or depleted in D) water has a high biological activity. The use of light water leads to the normalization of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, weight correction, elimination of toxins from the body, etc. The results of clinical trials proved [Lobyshev V.N., Kalinichenko L.P. Isotopic effects of D ₂ O in biological systems. M .: Nauka, 1978.] that the use of such water increases performance, physical activity, endurance and resistance of the body.

It is known that in light water changes the rate of chemical reactions, solvation of ions, their mobility, etc. Light water has a stimulating effect on living systems, significantly increases their activity, resistance to various negative factors, reproductive activity, improves and speeds up metabolism. For crops, the effect of light water is manifested in increased germination and productivity, for humans - in the healing effect. The reaction of biosystems when exposed to water may vary depending on quantitative and qualitative changes in the isotopic composition of water. The use of water with an increased concentration of heavy isotopes, in particular deuterium, causes pronounced toxic effects at the body level, limiting the possibility of its use for therapeutic and prophylactic purposes [Kushner D.J., Baker F., Dunstall T.G. Can. J. Physiol. Pharmacol 1999, Feb. 77 (2): 79-88].

At the same time, positive biological activity of waters obtained using various technological processes belonging to the category of isotope-light, with a decrease in one degree or another compared with the initial concentration of deuterium, was recorded at different sites. Those. quantitative and qualitative indicators of the isotopic composition of water significantly affect its effectiveness when using water as a solvent or ingredient. Therefore, the need is obvious depending on the purpose of the regulation of the isotopic composition of water used by humans for technological processes, drinking, as part of medicinal, cosmetic, hygienic, perfumery, etc.

The prior art for the production of isotope-light water is represented by a number of patents: RU No. 2031085, 2091335, 2091336 and others. There are also a number of physico-chemical methods for changing the isotopic composition of hydrogen that is part of the water [Andreeev BM et al., Separation of stable isotopes by physicochemical methods. Moscow: Energoatomizdat. 1982. pp. 44-49, 68-69, 75-79].

The closest technical solution to the claimed is a patent RU No. 2182562. According to the prototype, a device for producing biologically active water with a reduced deuterium content, comprising an electrolyzer with a solid ion-exchange electrolyte sandwiched between a porous anode and a cathode, an electrolysis gas to water converter, a water vapor condenser and a deuterium-free water collector, characterized in that it is additionally equipped with an isotopic reactor exchange D ₂ / H ₂ O located between the electrolyzer and the electrolysis gas converter, an oxygen dryer from water vapor and water conditioning, while The p isotope exchange contains a hydrophobized and promoted catalyst on an activated carbon carrier containing 4-10% fluoroplastic and 2-4% palladium or platinum, and the walls of the reactor and oxygen dryer are made of ion-exchange membranes, and the oxygen dryer contains ion-exchange cation exchange resin, and the conditioner a filter with a sandwiched layer of ion-exchange materials, an adsorbent and a mineralizer containing granular calcium-magnesium-containing carbonate materials. In this case, dolomite is used as calcium-magnesium carbonate materials.

The disadvantages of the described device are:

- the presence of ion-exchange membranes in the cell leads to an increase in the ohmic resistance of the cell, and to increase the cost of electricity by several times, and the cost of electricity is 80-90% of the cost of the product [Fedotiev N.P. and others. Applied electrochemistry. L .: Chemistry 1967. p.346.]., Which leads to increased cost of the resulting product.

- the use of electrodes made of titanium promoted by platinum, having a low separation coefficient of deuterium and high polarization of the electrode processes leads to a low degree of depletion of water by deuterium, as well as an excessively high voltage on the cell; those. to increased energy consumption.

- Platinum, which is promoted by titanium electrodes, is an expensive precious metal;

- the water productivity with reduced concentrations of deuterium in the prototype is only 50 ml per hour, which is probably sufficient for conditions when it is required to obtain the product in small quantities, but not enough in industrial production.

The technical task of the proposed solution is:

1. Reducing the cost of electricity in the process of producing water depleted in deuterium isotope, and therefore reducing costs compared with analogues and prototype.

2. Improving the efficiency of the method, ie the degree of separation of hydrogen isotopes in one stage, the quality of the resulting product and the reduction of energy consumption in the electrolysis process.

3. The cheaper method due to the use of electrolysis of cheaper and effective electrode materials.

To solve the technical problem, a line is proposed for producing biologically active drinking water with a reduced deuterium content, which includes an electrolyzer, an electrolysis gas dehumidifier, an electrolysis gas to water converter, a water vapor condenser, and a deuterium-depleted water collector. In this case, the electrolyzer contains a block of bipolar electrodes coated with a silver coating on the anode side and a Raney nickel coating on the cathode side, the desiccant is filled with a regenerated water-absorbing substance, and the electrolysis gas converter is made in the form of a high-temperature gas turbine whose shaft is mechanically connected to the shaft and the generator is connected to the input a power supply for partial compensation of energy consumption during the electrolysis, in addition, the collection of deuterium-depleted water at the same time serves as a mineralizer.

Figure 1 schematically shows a line for producing biologically active drinking water with a reduced content of deuterium.

The line contains a power supply unit 1 electrically connected to the electrolyzer 2, the output of which is connected by a gas pipeline to the inlet of the dryer 3, also connected by a gas pipeline to a turbine 4, mechanically connected to an alternating current generator 5. The generator 5 is electrically connected to the input of the power supply 1. 6 is a capacitor, connected to the turbine outlet by a steam line, and its outlet is connected to a collector of deuterium-depleted water 7.

The line is as follows.

The alternating three-phase current of the external electric network is converted into a constant power supply unit 1 and supplied to the electrolyzer 2, where distilled water is also supplied. The mixture of oxygen and deuterium-depleted hydrogen formed in the electrolyzer 2 to prevent reverse isotopic exchange of hydrogen with water vapor enters the dryer 3 through a gas pipeline, where it is dried by a regenerated water-absorbing substance. Next, the dried gas mixture enters the turbine 4, where it burns, rotates the turbine rotor and forms water vapor, which condenses in the condenser 6 and enters the collector 7, where deuterium-depleted water is mineralized by dissolving a pre-introduced portion of the mixture of soluble salts with the necessary for drinking water composition. The rotational energy of the rotor of the turbine 4 is converted into the energy of mechanical rotation of the shaft of the generator 5, where it is converted into electrical energy of an alternating three-phase current. Alternating current from the generator 5 is fed to the input of the power supply 1 to compensate for part of the energy consumption of the electrolysis process.

From the above description of the operation of the line, it is obvious that feedback (up to 40%) of the originally used electricity is recovered, which follows from the maximum possible thermal efficiency of the heat turbine cycle [B.P. Porshakov, B. A. Romanov / Fundamentals of Thermodynamics and heat engineering. M. Nedra, 1979, p.120]. The use of bipolar electrodes with the proposed coatings in the electrolyzer provides light water with a lower deuterium content, since the separation coefficients of hydrogen isotopes on different electrodes are known, as well as a decrease in the polarization of electrode processes, which leads to a decrease in direct energy consumption of the electrolysis process [V. Filshtich / Fuel elements, M. Mir, 1968 s. 388].

In addition, the electrode materials used in the electrolysis process are cheaper and more stable under electrolysis conditions than in the prototype and make it possible to obtain water several times more deuterium depleted in the one-stage electrolysis process than in the prototype [V. Filshtikh / Fuel cells, M. Mir, 1968 p. .388], which makes it significantly biologically more active.

Thus, the proposed line for the production of biologically active drinking water with a reduced deuterium content allows more efficient than in the prototype to obtain a better product with less material and energy costs
