Abstract

The invention discloses a device and method for reducing the content of deuterium in nature water.The device comprises an electrochemical reaction device.The electrochemical reaction device comprises an electrode unit and a power unit electrically connected with the electrode unit.The electrode unit comprises an anode electrode and a cathode electrode and can enable water to produce an electrochemical reaction, .OH free radicals can be produced by the anode electrode, H ions and D ions can be produced by the cathode electrode, H ions can be reunified with .OH free radicals more easily than D ions to form water, D ions can combine and react by themselves to generate deuterium gas to disengage from water, and the content of deuterium in water is reduced.The device and method have the advantages that the content of deuterium in water is reduced by separating out the deuterium gas, and the content of deuterium can be further reduced so that low-deuterium can be formed; the device is simple, easy to control, low in energy consumption, water consumption and extracting cost; necessary mineral substances and microelements for the human body in nature water are kept in water.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device for reducing deuterium content in natural water and a method for reducing deuterium content in natural water. Background technique [0002] Deuterium is an isotope of hydrogen and is the core raw material for thermal fusion reactions. Because there is one more neutron in the deuterium nucleus than protium, the atomic weight of deuterium is larger than that of protium, which is 2.014. Deuterium water widely exists in natural water. The content of deuterium in glacier snow mountain water is 130-135ppm (mass content is 0.013-0.0135%), the content of deuterium in natural water in plain areas is 150ppm, and the content of deuterium in coastal areas is slightly higher, near the equator and equator region is 155ppm. Water with deuterium content lower than 135ppm is called deuterium-depleted water DDW or ultra-light water. According to many medical studies, deuterium-depleted water has the effect of inhibiting the growth of ...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Freezing method: Utilizing the principle of different freezing points of deuterium water and protium water, deuterium water is separated from natural water by controlling the freezing point of natural water, and the deuterium content in water is reduced by separating deuterium water, but it is affected by many factors such as temperature and air pressure As a result, the freezing point control is extremely difficult, the water consumption is large, and the cost is high, so it is difficult to apply in practice

[0005] Distillation method: Utilize the principle of different boiling points of deuterium water and protium water, evaporate the protium water in natural water by controlling the evaporation temperature, and then condense the evaporated protium water to prepare deuterium-depleted water. This method is currently on the market. General method, but the equipment requires high precision, complex equipment, high energy consumption, high cost, difficult control, and large water consumption

And this method also has the following disadvantages: the deuterium-depleted water produced is deuterium-depleted water after distillation. Although it has the advantage of deuterium-depleted water, the minerals in the water and the trace elements necessary for the human body are also completely distilled, and there is no need for long-term drinking. Deuterium-depleted water with minerals and trace elements will have adverse effects on human health

The equipment requires high precision, complex equipment, high energy consumption, difficult control, large water consumption, high cost, and no minerals and trace elements in deuterium-depleted water

[0007] Exchange method: use the hydrogen in the compound to react with it to generate hydrogen and then react with oxygen to generate ultra-light water. Because there are many by-products and it is difficult to meet environmental protection requirements, this method is only used in the industrial field
