FAR-INFRARED RAY COMPOSITE MATERIAL, METHOD OF PRODUCING THE SAME, AND METHOD FOR LIQUID OR
WATER FILTRATION
Technical Field
[1] This invention relates to a novel composite material, a method of producing the said composite material and a method for liquid or water filtration using the said composite material. In particular, the present invention relates to the composite material which is capable of emitting far-infrared ray and made from a structural mass comprising tourmaline and at least one compound selected from oxides, carbides, borides, nitrides, suicides, far-infrared ray powder and combinations thereof.
[2] The present invention also relates to a novel method of producing the said composite material.
[3] The present invention furthermore relates to a novel method of liquid or water filtration using the said composite material.
Background Art
[4] There is a need for a filtration material, a method of producing the same and a filtration method of applying tourmaline and far-infrared ray to water in order to reduce nutrient level, alkalize pH, increase the level of Total Alkalinity, increase metal elements, reduce ORP/Reduction-oxidation ("redox") potential and reduce water cluster size but without increasing turbidity in water. Disclosure of Invention
Technical Problem
[5] Tourmaline is a kind of mineral to show permanent electricity on the earth and is also a natural (non-manufactured) source of negative ions and far-infrared ray. It is also known to be helpful for improving circulation, relieving stress, increasing mental alertness and strengthening the immune system function. However, how to take advantage of tourmaline and apply far-infrared ray to water filtration without increasing water turbidity is a problem. One current method of applying tourmaline and far-infrared ray to water is to add tourmaline powder to water, but the tourmaline powder itself becomes supernatant and causes impurity in water. The supernatant needs to be later removed from water as described in United States Patent Application (Document Number 20060086601) filed on April 27, 2006.
[6] Filtration material capable of reducing nutrient level in water is limited. Nutrients are a class of water pollutants. When essential nutrients are plentiful, algae multiply. If these algae are microscopic phytoplankton, their growth increases the turbidity of the water. The water then becomes cloudy, colored a shade of green, yellow, or brown (sometimes red; see algal bloom). Growth of algae and other water plants deplete the
water's oxygen supply. This kills fish and when found in drinking water, can kill young children.
[7] Filtration material capable of alkalize water is limited. It is known that over- acidification of human body is the single underlying cause of many disease. Drinking weak alkaline water such as a pH around 8.0 is effective at controlling over-acidic pH level in body. Adding sodium hydroxide to water is a common way of increasing pH level but the additive increases the impurity in water and makes the water not suitable for drinking.
[8] The most common method of increasing Total Alkalinity in waters is by adding agricultural limestone (calcium carbonate). Fish managers in Europe and Asia have reported that applications of lime to fish ponds on soils of low calcium content resulted in greater fish production. Fish managers in the United States showed that applications of lime to lakes increased pH and total alkalinity and also cleared water of brown stain from humic substances. However adding limestone is not always practical for increasing Total Alkalinity in water (e.g. swimming pool) because it takes time for lime to be dissolved in water. For example, some pieces of lime may be too dense to be dissolved and cause more impurity and slippery floor in swimming pool.
[9] For a healthy body, it's known that human needs daily intake of metal elements including Barium, Calcium, Magnesium, Silicon, Strontium and Zinc from water without exceeding the level defined in drinking water guideline.
[10] It's known that tourmaline and far-infrared ray can reduce ORP/reduction-oxidation potential ("redox") in water. A negative ORP means that the aqueous solution possesses electrical potential - energy, and is rich in electrons to support living organisms. Aqueous solutions with a negative ORP has antioxidant or anti-acid properties and are beneficial in that they can buffer or neutralize acids and thus reduce oxidative stress. Water with a negative ORP is the only water that can support life, buffer gastrointestinal and metabolic acids and provide electrons to support the energy needs of any living organism.
[11] It is known that tourmaline's far infrared ray can reduce the water cluster size as described in United States Patent Application (Document Number 20060086601) filed on April 27, 2006, but the tourmaline powder itself becomes supernatant and causes impurity in water.
Technical Solution
[12] The novel composite material and the novel method of liquid or water filtration of using the novel composite material are effective at reducing nutrient level, alkalizing pH, increasing the level of Total Alkalinity, increasing metal elements, reducing ORP/ Reduction-oxidation ("redox") potential and reducing cluster size but without increasing turbidity in water.
Advantageous Effects
[13] Reducing nutrient level, alkalizing pH, increasing the level of Total Alkalinity, in-
creasing metal elements, reducing ORP/Reduction-oxidation ("redox") potential and reducing cluster size but without increasing turbidity in water.
Description of Drawings
[14] The drawings Figure 1 and Figure 2 demonstrate two examples of the method of water filtration using the novel material. The arrows represent water flow.
Best Mode
[15] The novel composite material is formed and simultaneously or subsequently matured by the action of the heat from its raw structural mass, or is formed from a molten mass of its raw structural mass which solidifies on cooling, or is formed from casting its raw structural mass under pressure. The raw structural mass comprises tourmaline powder and at least one compound selected from oxides, carbides, borides, nitrides, suicides, far-infrared ray powder and combinations thereof.
[16] The chemical formula of tourmaline is (Ca,K,Na,[])(Al,Fe,Li,Mg,Mn)3(Al,Cr,
Fe, V)6(BO3)3(Si,Al,B)6θ 18(OH,F)4. The color of tourmaline is most commonly black, but can range from brown, violet, green, pink, or in a dual-colored pink and green. Tourmaline belongs to the trigonal crystal system and occurs as long, slender to thick prismatic and columnar crystals that are usually triangular in cross-section. Tourmaline is also called electric stone and can produce a weak electric current of 0.06 mA. The 14 recognized minerals in the group (endmember formulas) include:
Tourmaline is at least 10% by the total weight of the structural mass to form the composite material.
[17] The far-infrared ray powder is a composite powder and a source of emitting far- infrared ray. Its far infrared emissivity is 80% or greater. For example, a composition of compounds selected from the combinations of CaO, TiCb, ZnO, P2O5, TiO2, Fe2O3, Cr2O3, Y2O3, MgO, ZrO2, SbO2, CoO and SiC has far infrared emissivity greater than 80%.
[18] The method of producing the said composite material comprises
1 ) Providing the raw mixture which comprises tourmaline and at least one compound selected from oxides, carbides, borides, nitrides, suicides, far-infrared ray powder and combinations thereof.
2) Sintering the raw mixture under temperature higher than 30O0C to form the novel composite material. Or solidifying a molten mass of the raw mixture on cooling under temperature lower than 8O0C. Or casting the raw mixture under pressure greater than 10 Pa to form the composite material.
[19] A method of liquid or water filtration comprises using the composite material as a part of or whole device or as filter medium, and liquid or water has direct contact with the surface of the composite material. For example:
1) The raw mixture of the composite material can be shaped into a porous water filtration medium via sintering or pressure, so that water can leak through the filtration medium of the composite material as shown in Figure 1.
2) The raw mixture of the composite material can be shaped into granules before it's been sintered, or be crushed into granules after it's been sintered, so that water can leak through the granules of the composite material during the filtration process as shown in Figure 2.
The method of liquid of water filtration may operate under temperatures from 10C to 900C for reducing nutrient level, alkalizing pH, increasing Total Alkalinity, increasing dissolved minerals, reducing ORP/Reduction-oxidation ("redox") potential and reducing cluster size in water.
Industrial Applicability
[20] For example, the novel composite material produced from its raw mixture comprises 35% tourmaline, 60% oxides can be used for bathing or swimming pool water filtration.
[21] For example, the composite material made from 35% tourmaline, 60% oxides and
5% far-infrared ray powder can be used for drinking water filtration. The table below shows the data of comparing tap water and the tap water which has been filtered using the composite material and the method.
[22] The drawings figure 1 and figure 2 demonstrate two examples of the method of water filtration using the novel material. The arrows represent water flow.
