Description

  The present invention relates to a method for producing mineral activated water, and more specifically, mineral activity that is activated by allowing water to pass through a special mineral ceramics filter and reacting with components contained in the natural ore group. The present invention relates to a method for producing water.

  Conventionally, various methods for producing mineral active water have been proposed in which water is passed through a mineral ceramics filter to activate it by reacting with components contained in the natural ore group. Many of these activities are a kind of negative ions that are thought to be effective in improving the oxidants by passing water through a tank filled with many porous ceramic balls and eluting the mineral components of the ore. It produces mineral activated water that is rich in hydrogen.

  In general, the combination of a substance with oxygen is called oxidation, and the loss of oxygen by an oxide is called reduction, and a redox potential (ORP) is used as a measure of their activity (ORP) ( The unit is mV). It is evaluated that the higher the ORP value, the higher the oxidizing power, and the higher the negative value, the stronger the reducing power and the richer the amount of active hydrogen. The ORP value of general tap water is +300 mV to +600 mV, and the ORP value of active water is −200 mV or less.

  However, in the case of active water produced by a conventional active water generator, there are difficulties in terms of its utility and duration. That is, in the case of conventional active water, the ORP value rises within a short time and the pH value returns to the acidic direction, and its effect as active water lasts only for about 5 hours at most. There is a problem that the utility cannot be enjoyed unless it is used in time.

  As described above, in the case of active water produced by a conventional device for generating active water, there is a drawback in its sustainability, and if it is not used within a short time after generation, it cannot be enjoyed. There was a problem. The present invention has been made to solve such problems in the prior art, and provides a method for producing mineral active water whose utility as mineral active water lasts much longer than that of the conventional one after generation. This is the issue.

  As a result of repeated studies and studies by the present inventors, the effect of the active water produced by the conventional active water generator lasts only for a short time because water activation, in other words, cluster fragmentation. The present invention has been completed with the knowledge that it is necessary to sufficiently subdivide the cluster in order to find out that this is not sufficient and to solve this problem.

  That is, the invention according to claim 1 for solving the above-mentioned problem is a step of producing a porous mineral ceramic filter having a large number of uniform pores by baking around 13 hours at a temperature of 1280 ° C. to 1300 ° C., The step of eluting the mineral component of the porous mineral ceramics filter in a state where the water is passed through the porous mineral ceramics filter to make ultrafine particles, and the pH value and ORP value of the water by the mineral component eluted in the water A process for lowering the amount of mineral active water.

  In a preferred embodiment, the median pore diameter measured by pore distribution measurement of the porous mineral ceramic filter is set to about 2 μm, and the porosity of the porous mineral ceramic filter is set to about 53%. The far infrared emissivity of the porous mineral ceramic filter is set to about 81%.

  The present invention is as described above, and in the method for producing mineral activated water according to the present invention, the porous material has a large number of uniform pores obtained by baking water for about 13 hours at a temperature of 1280 ° C to 1300 ° C. Ultrafine particles can be made by passing through a mineral ceramic filter, and the mineral component is sufficiently eluted to contact the porous mineral ceramic filter in that state. It becomes possible to keep the ORP value low for a long time, and therefore, there is an effect that the effect of mineral active water can be maintained for a long time.

It is a graph which shows the result of the pore distribution measurement test done about the porous mineral ceramics filter manufactured by the method concerning the present invention. It is a graph which shows the test result of a far-infrared emissivity in the porous mineral ceramic filter manufactured by the method based on this invention.

  EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION Below, the form for implementing this invention is demonstrated with reference to drawings. The method for producing mineral activated water according to the present invention comprises a step of producing a porous mineral ceramic filter having a large number of uniform pores by baking at a temperature of 1280 ° C. to 1300 ° C. for about 13 hours, and water for the porous mineral. By passing through a ceramics filter, the step of making ultrafine particles and eluting the mineral components of the porous mineral ceramics filter, and the step of lowering the pH value and ORP value of the water by the mineral components eluted in the water It is characterized by comprising.

  In the method according to the present invention, it is most important to produce a porous mineral ceramic filter having a large number of uniform pores. Such a porous mineral ceramic filter can be obtained, for example, by firing a mineral such as aluminum oxide (alumina) at a temperature of 1280 ° C. to 1300 ° C. for about 13 hours.

  Here, the reason for firing at a temperature of 1280 ° C. to 1300 ° C. is that the pore size becomes non-uniform when fired at 1280 ° C. or lower, and when fired at 1300 ° C. or higher, the ceramics It is because it shrinks greatly and the size of the pore becomes too small, and the porosity also decreases. Moreover, the reason for firing around 13 hours is that if the firing time is shorter than this, the strength of the ceramics cannot be sufficient, and if the firing time is longer than this, the ceramics will shrink greatly and become finer. This is because the pore size becomes too small and the porosity is also lowered.

  FIG. 1 is a log showing the results of a pore distribution measurement test by mercury porosimetry performed to demonstrate that uniform pores are formed in the case of a porous mineral ceramic filter fired under the above firing conditions. It is a differential pore volume distribution map. As is apparent from this distribution map, the peak width in the present porous mineral ceramic filter is very narrow. This means that the present porous mineral ceramic filter has a large number of uniform pores. As the width of the peak becomes wider, the pores become non-uniform. When the degree of non-uniformity increases, the peak does not appear.

The main data of the pore distribution measurement test results are shown below.
(1) Total pore volume 0.3057 cm ³ / g
(2) Porosity 53.25%
(3) Median pore diameter 21.81 μm

  Further, it is known that far infrared rays activate water, that is, subdivide clusters. Therefore, it is considered that the use of a filter having a high far-infrared emissivity will promote cluster fragmentation.

  The graph of FIG. 2 shows the test result of the far-infrared emissivity of the present porous mineral ceramic filter (relative evaluation when the emissivity is 100% as the maximum). In the case of a porous mineral ceramic filter, since it has a high far-infrared emissivity in a wide wavelength band (the horizontal axis is a wavelength), the use of this porous mineral ceramic filter promotes the fragmentation of clusters. It's easy to understand. The far-infrared emissivity test was conducted at a heater temperature of 100 ° C. using a JIR-E far infrared spectroradiometer (JIR-E500). At 89.5 ° C., the integrated emissivity was 81.6%.

When water was passed through a porous mineral ceramics filter, cation (Ca 2 _{+, K} ⁺⁾ minerals contained in the ore (metal element such as mainly calcium and potassium) is dissolved in water ^becomes, the cationic Groups act to change the pH and ORP values of water. In the method according to the present invention, ultrafine particles are formed by passing water through the porous mineral ceramic filter produced as described above, and the mineral components are eluted by contacting the porous mineral ceramic filter with the ultrafine particles. Let Thus, in order to elute a mineral component in the water | fine-particle-ized water, the mineral component which acts so that the pH value and ORP value of water may be contained enough is contained there.

  As described above, in the case of conventional mineral activated water, even if pH and ORP change once, those values tend to return to those of raw water as time passes. On the other hand, in the case of the mineral activated water produced by the method according to the present invention, the water is activated by passing through the porous mineral ceramics filter (in order to make contact with the ore in a clustered state). The effect lasts for a long time.

  The following table shows the results of a measurement test conducted to confirm the effects of the present invention. This measurement test is a measurement of the pH value and ORP value of raw water and immediately after the production of water obtained by the method according to the present invention and after 24 hours. In this test, the water test method VI-1 9.2 glass electrode method was used for pH measurement, and the platinum electrode method was used for ORP measurement.

(Table 1)

  As apparent from Table 1 above, the pH value was 9.1 (21.6 ° C.) immediately after production, and 8.6 (20.0 ° C.) after 24 hours, with no significant change during The ORP value is 170 mV immediately after generation and 140 mV after 24 hours, again with no significant change. From this, in the method according to the present invention, the physical property change of water proceeds rapidly, and the changed state, in other words, the effect as the mineral active water is sustained for a long time. confirmed.

  Although the present invention has been described in some detail with respect to its most preferred embodiments, it will be apparent that a wide variety of different embodiments can be constructed without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, the invention being defined by the appended claims. It is not restricted to the specific embodiment other than limiting in.
