Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To produce activated water of sufficient activation level always industrially by retaining to-be-treated water in a zero magnetic field in which a highly waving substance is arranged for a prescribed length of time. SOLUTION: Zero magnetic field generation sources 2, 3 are arranged on both sides of a pipe 1 to be a to-be-treated water passage, and a zero magnetic field 4 is formed by the sources 2, 3. The pipe 1 is made to pass through the zero magnetic field 4, and a high wave motion substance (e.g. bamboo charcoal) 5 is disposed in the zero magnetic field between the source 3 and the pipe 1 to constitute a water activation apparatus. The passage length of the zero magnetic field 4 of the pipe 1 is regulated so that the time required for the passage of raw water is longer than that necessary for the activation of raw water. In the activation apparatus, when to-be-treated water is passed through the pipe 1 at a prescribed flow velocity to retain the water in the zero magnetic field for a prescribed time (e.g. 20 sec or longer), the wave motion of the substance is transferred so that the waving of the water is intensified to activate the water.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for activating water.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Activated water has attracted attention as a means of restoring and improving the life supporting function of living organisms, and is used for purposes such as cultivating plants such as vegetables, maintaining freshness of fresh foods, and maintaining physical health. Have been. As a technique for activating water, for example, the following techniques have been proposed. Inorganic minerals such as iron salts are brought into contact with the water to be treated, and a small amount of inorganic minerals are mixed into the water (for example, JP-A-2-184387). The water to be treated is passed through a magnetic field and activated by magnetic force. (For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-1570087), a method in which an inorganic mineral is brought into contact with water to be treated in a magnetic field, and the action of the inorganic mineral and the action of magnetic force are combined (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-90884). And Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-163976), in which electromagnetic waves are directly applied to water to be treated (for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-1509).
No. 87).

[0003]

The above prior art has the following problems. In the method of contacting inorganic mineral and water, the activation level of water is low and the components of the inorganic mineral dissolve, so the eluted components are mixed into the water to be treated, and the activation ability is reduced by dissolution. It is not possible to obtain homogeneous activated water unless the capacity of the inorganic substance is checked and adjusted during operation. Even when a magnetic field and an inorganic substance are combined, a problem associated with the dissolution of the inorganic substance occurs as described above. The method using only a magnetic field does not cause the problem of elution or the lifetime of the inorganic substance, but it is difficult to obtain a sufficient activation level.

That is, in any of the methods, it has been difficult to industrially produce activated water having a sufficient activation level at all times without paying attention to maintenance. It is an object of the present invention to industrially mass-produce uniform activated water having a high activation level and uniformity.

[0005]

According to the method of the present invention, the water to be treated is activated by placing the water to be treated in a zero magnetic field provided with a high-wave material for a predetermined time. The invention of claim 2 relates to an apparatus for carrying out the invention of claim 1 without retaining the water to be treated, wherein the flow path of the water to be treated is disposed in a zero magnetic field, and A high-frequency substance is disposed in the water to form a water activation device. The invention of claim 3 relates to an apparatus for carrying out the invention of claim 1 by retaining the water to be treated in the treatment tank, wherein the treatment tank for treatment water is disposed in a zero magnetic field, and A high-wave material is disposed in a magnetic field to constitute a water activation device.

The high-wave material used in the present invention is:
For example, high-wave substances such as charcoal, bamboo charcoal, and plant-derived activated carbon whose wave value (immunity) measured by a wave measurement device “BICS” (trade name, Fuji Giken Co., Ltd.) shows a numerical value of +20 or more are preferable. The zero magnetic field can be obtained by combining sources that generate a magnetic field.

[0007]

In the present invention, when the water to be treated is positioned in the zero magnetic field where the high-wave material is disposed, the waves of the high-wave material are transferred to the water to be treated, and the waves of the water to be treated are increased and activated. In the present invention, since the high-wave material does not come into contact with the water to be treated, the components of the high-wave material are not dissolved, and a constant level of activation ability is always maintained.

[0008]

First Embodiment In FIG. 1, a first zero magnetic field generation source 2 and a second zero magnetic field generation source 3 are arranged with a pipe 1 serving as a flow path of water to be treated interposed therebetween. A zero magnetic field 4 is formed by the sources 2 and 3, the zero magnetic field 4 is passed through the pipe 1, and a zero magnetic field between the second zero magnetic field source 3 and the pipe 1 is generated. A high-wave material (for example, bamboo charcoal) 5 is arranged in a magnetic field to constitute a water activation device. Here, the pipe 1
The length of passage of the zero magnetic field 4 is such that the time required for the treated water to pass through the zero magnetic field 4 is longer than the time required for the activation process.

In the above apparatus, when the water to be treated is caused to flow at a predetermined flow rate in the pipe 1 and the zero magnetic field 4 is passed for a predetermined time or more (for example, 20 seconds or more), the wave of the high-wave material is transferred, and The wave of water is increased and activated.

[0010]

[Embodiment 2] In FIG. 2, a tank 6 for water to be treated is arranged in a zero magnetic field 4 obtained by a first zero magnetic field generating source 2 and a second zero magnetic field generating source 3, and A high-wave material (for example, bamboo charcoal) 5 is arranged in the zero magnetic field to constitute a water activation device.

In the above-mentioned apparatus, when the water to be treated is kept in the tank 6 for a predetermined time or more (for example, 20 seconds or more), the wave of the high vibration material 5 is transferred, and the wave of the water to be treated is increased and activated.

[0012]

[Experimental example] An experiment was conducted using bincho charcoal, bamboo charcoal, and rough silica as high-wave material. The wave values of these high wave materials were as shown in Table 1. In addition, all the wave values shown below were measured with the wave measurement device "BICS" (trade name).

[Table 1]

Bincho charcoal, bamboo charcoal, and rough silica are used as high-wave materials, and these high-wave materials are placed in a zero magnetic field.
When the water to be treated was treated for 30 seconds by using the apparatus of (1), the wave value of the water to be treated, which was the wave value (total power) -1, was increased to 20 or more and activated.

[Table 2]

[0014] Bincho charcoal was used as a high-wave material and the processing time was changed.
As described above, it was confirmed that the wave value became 20 or more in 30 seconds or more.

[Table 3]

[0015]

Comparative Example 1 An experiment was conducted using charcoal and calcium silicate as high-wave substances. The wave values of these substances are as shown in Table 4.

[Table 4]

Charcoal and calcium silicate were used as high wave substances, and these high wave substances were placed in a zero magnetic field.
When the water to be treated was treated for 30 seconds using the apparatus described above, the wave value (total force) could be activated to 11 or more.

[Table 5]

From this comparison, it is possible to activate water even with a high-vibration substance having a wave value of about 15; It can be seen that there is a wide spread, and it is preferable to use a high wave substance at a wave value (immunity) of 20 in the practice of the present invention.

[0018]

Comparative Example 2 Comparative Example 2 shows the effectiveness of a combination of a zero magnetic field and a high wave substance, and the results shown in Table 6 were obtained.

[Table 6] From this comparative example, it can be seen that by combining a zero magnetic field and a high-wave material, a remarkable activation is performed in a shorter time as compared with the processing using only the zero magnetic field or the high-wave material.

[0019]

According to the present invention, a high-wave material is disposed in a zero magnetic field, and the high-wave material is activated without being brought into contact with the water to be treated. In addition, a constant level of activation ability can be maintained at all times, and the activation level of the water to be treated can be made uniform. Further, since the activation process can be performed in a short time, a large-scale process suitable for industrial use is possible.
