Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of water treatment, and particularly relates to a device for producing activated water and its application. Background Art

[0002] Modern research has found that in nature, water does not exist as a single molecule, but exists in the form of molecular clusters formed by hydrogen bonds. The hydrogen bond between molecules is a type of intermolecular force, and in liquid water, it is in a dynamic equilibrium of constantly breaking and combining. Since there is currently a lack of means to directly measure the structure of water molecular clusters, the size of water molecular clusters is generally represented by the half-width of the water vibration frequency measured by nuclear magnetic resonance. The larger the half-width, the larger the water molecular cluster, and the smaller the half-width, the smaller the water molecular cluster. As the water molecular cluster becomes smaller, the solubility, permeability, metabolism, diffusivity, and emulsifying property of water are all enhanced. Generally, water with a half-width > 100 Hz is classified as large molecular water, and more precisely, water with a half-width > 140 Hz belongs to large molecular water. Water with a half-width < 100 Hz is classified as small molecular water, and it is considered that water with a half-width < 80 Hz is small molecular water in the strict sense. Research has found that the 17 O-NMR half-width of natural high-quality drinking water is generally in the range of 70 - 90 Hz. Tap water is generally composed of 12 - 13 water molecules, and its half-width is about 121 Hz; purified water is composed of 30 - 40 water molecules, and its half-width is about 149 Hz.

[0003] Currently, the main technologies and means to improve the activity of water bodies are: mechanical method, heat treatment method, strong field method (strong electric field, micro electric field, magnetic field, ultrasonic wave, etc.), weak field method (bio-wave catalysis, far-infrared energy catalysis, quantum technology, etc.). Due to the particularity of the pharmaceutical and cosmetic fields, the weak field method has become the first choice. Common ones include tourmaline, far-infrared ceramics, magnetite, and bamboo charcoal activated water technology. For example, the Chinese patent with the application number 202410305969.3 discloses a low-hertz water incubator device, including: an incubation barrel, a mineralization plate, and an electrode excitation device. The barrel wall of the incubation barrel is made of a mixture of purple sand mud, kaolin, and carbon nanotubes by firing, and the mineralization plate is made of kaolin, loess stone, purple sand mud, titanium dioxide, and tourmaline by sintering. The Chinese patent with the application number 202310976395.8 discloses a mineralization process for small molecular water clusters, selecting high-quality tourmaline, ichthyolite, and medical stone as mineralization raw materials, and configuring tourmaline, ichthyolite, and medical stone according to a volume ratio of 30:1:5:5, and performing mineralization treatment on purified water to produce mineralized small molecular water clusters. Summary of the Invention

[0004] For the above technical problems, the present invention provides a device for producing activated water and its application. Macromolecular water flows through the ore in the device for producing activated water to obtain activated water, namely sub-molecular water or small-molecular water. The filling amount of the ore is inversely proportional to the half-width of water, that is, when the filling amount is large, the half-width is small; when the filling amount is small, the half-width is large. The flow rate is proportional to the half-width of water, that is, when the flow rate is fast, the half-width is large; on the contrary, when the flow rate is slow, the half-width is small. The diameter-length ratio of the column is inversely proportional to the half-width of water, that is, when the diameter-length ratio is small, the half-width is large; on the contrary, when the diameter-length ratio is large, the half-width is small. By using the device for producing activated water of the present invention and controlling the ore filling amount, diameter-length ratio, and flow rate, the half-width of the activated water can be adjusted, thereby obtaining sub-molecular water or small-molecular water.

[0005] To achieve this purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: In the first aspect, the present invention provides a device for producing activated water, including a column and ore filled in the column. Among them, the diameter-length ratio of the column is 4:160 to 400, and the ore contains manganese element and strontium element.

[0006] Preferably, the diameter-length ratio of the column is 4:400.

[0007] Preferably, the particle size of the ore is 0.5 cm to 5 cm.

[0008] Preferably, the filling rate of the ore is 40% to 80%. More preferably, the filling rate of the ore is 80%.

[0009] Preferably, the top of the column is provided with a water inlet, and the bottom is provided with a water outlet, and a water control valve is provided at the water outlet.

[0010] Preferably, the material of the column is glass or stainless steel.

[0011] In the second aspect, the present invention also provides a method for preparing activated water using the aforementioned device for producing activated water. Under the control of the flow rate, water flows through the ore from the top of the column and flows out from the bottom to obtain activated water.

[0012] Preferably, the flow rate of water is 0.01 cm / s to 0.2 cm / s. More preferably, the flow rate of water is 0.01 cm / s.

[0013] Preferably, saponin is added to water in a ratio of water:saponin = 100 mL:0.025 g to 0.1 g.

[0014] Preferably, the saponin is one of monomeric saponin, saponin composition or total saponin. The monomeric saponin is ginsenoside Rg 1 , ginsenoside Rb 1 , ginsenoside Rd, ginsenoside Re, notoginsenoside R 1 , ginsenoside Rg 3 , ginsenoside Rh1 , Ginsenoside Rh 2 or any one of ginsenoside CK, etc. The saponin composition is any one of ginsenoside-diol type saponins, ginsenoside-triol type saponins, notoginsenoside-diol type saponins, notoginsenoside-triol type saponins, American ginseng diol type saponins or American ginseng triol type saponins.

[0015] Preferably, the water is deionized water or purified water, and the activated water is sub-molecular water or small-molecular water.

[0016] 17 The half-width of 100 Hz in 1H-NMR is considered to be the boundary defining macromolecular water and small-molecular water. The half-width of commonly used tap water is about 121 Hz, and the half-width of well-known purified water is about 149 Hz. The half-width of truly small-molecular water is <80 Hz. There is no research on the functions and effects of water with a half-width between 120 Hz - 80 Hz. In the present invention, 17 the water with a 1H-NMR half-width in the range of 100 ± 20 Hz is defined as sub-molecular water for the first time, the size of water molecules is refined, and the preparation process and functions of sub-molecular water are studied, providing a better basis for the high-quality utilization of water.

The device for producing activated water is simple to manufacture, low in cost, and easy to operate. Using a single-component ore can prepare water molecules with different half-widths, which is beneficial to reducing costs, facilitating mass production, and industrial promotion.

[0018] 2. The method for preparing activated water using the device for producing activated water is simple and fast. Different half-width water molecules can be prepared by changing the diameter-length ratio or flow rate of the column according to needs.

Detailed implementation manners

[0021] The technical solutions of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation manners. However, the following examples are only simple examples of the present invention and do not represent or limit the scope of the protection of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention shall be subject to the claims.

[0022] Unless otherwise specified, the raw materials and materials used in the embodiments of the present invention are purchased through general commercial channels.

[0023] The source information of some relevant raw materials and materials involved in the following examples or comparative examples is as follows: Purified water, commercially available; Ginsenoside Rg 1 , purchased from Yuanye, product number S33043; Total ginsenosides of American ginseng, purchased from Yuanye, product number S23035; Notoginsenoside triol type was prepared in the laboratory, and the preparation method is as follows: Grind the Panax notoginseng medicinal material and pass it through a 24-mesh sieve. Use 85% ethanol water to heat and reflux for extraction. Extract twice, each time for 2 hours. Combine the filtrates, filter, and concentrate under reduced pressure until the extract mass is no more than 100 g. Take 200 g of D101 macroporous resin, load it into the column with pure water, then load the extract onto the column and adsorb it overnight. Then use water to elute 4 BV, 30% ethanol water to elute 5 BV, and 50% ethanol water to elute 7 BV. Collect the 50% ethanol water elution portion, concentrate under reduced pressure, and freeze-dry to obtain the product.

[0024] <Example 1> This embodiment introduces in detail the device for producing activated water and the method for using the same.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the device for producing activated water includes a column 1 and an ore 2 filled in the column 1. The column 1 is made of glass or stainless steel, and is cylindrical in shape with a diameter-to-length ratio of 4:160-400. The upper end of the column 1 is provided with a water inlet, which is connected to a water inlet pipe 3; the lower end is provided with a water outlet, which is connected to an external stainless steel water storage tank through a water outlet pipe 4 ( Figure 1 (not shown in the figure). A water control valve 5 is installed on the water outlet pipe 4 to control the flow rate of water. As required, the flow rate of water can be controlled between 0.01 cm / s and 0.2 cm / s. As required, a valve can also be installed on the water inlet pipe 3 to control the flow rate of water inlet. In addition, the column made of stainless steel material is selected in this embodiment.

[0026] The ore 2 is an ore containing manganese and strontium. The ore 2 can be selected from particles with a particle size between 0.5 cm and 5 cm, and the filling rate in the column 1 is 40% to 80%, preferably 80%.

[0027] The ore of this example was tested using an X-ray fluorescence spectrometer (ZSX Primus IV), and the element contents are shown in Table 1 below, where w (B) represents the mass fraction of the substance.

[0029] The activated water can be prepared by the above-mentioned device for producing activated water, and the method is as follows: water flows into the top of the column 1 from the water inlet pipe 3 at a certain flow rate, flows through the ore 2, and adjusts the opening of the control valve 5 according to the flow rate of the water, so that the water flows out at a uniform speed. The water flowing out from the bottom is activated water, i.e., small molecule water or submolecular water. The activated water flows into an external stainless steel water storage tank through the water outlet pipe 4 for storage or is connected to a bottled water filling equipment for filling and collection. When filling, it is filled into a plastic bottle with a specification of 500mL / bottle.

[0030] During the collection process, water quality analysis is required. The analysis frequency can be once after the production of each batch of water, or it can be carried out according to a regular detection plan on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis to ensure that the water quality is always in the best state. The detection content includes the determination of the pH value, conductivity, total dissolved solids, and heavy metal content of the activated water. At the same time, samples are taken, and the half-width of the water molecules obtained by NMR-500 detection is measured. The product is qualified if the half-width is within the range of 100 ± 20 Hz. Then, the qualified products are labeled and stored in the warehouse.

[0031] The water can be selected as healthy water such as deionized water or purified water. In this embodiment, the water entering the inlet pipe 3 is the prepared purified water or deionized water, which needs to be detected before entering the inlet pipe 3.

[0032] More preferably, saponins can be added to the water, and the addition ratio is water: saponins = 100 mL: 0.025 g to 0.1 g. The saponins can be monomeric saponins, such as ginsenoside Rg1; they can also be saponin compositions, such as notoginsenoside triol type saponins; or they can be total saponins, such as total saponins of American ginseng.

[0033] When the column diameter-length ratio and the flow rate of the column body remain unchanged, by changing the ore filling amount, under certain conditions, the ore filling amount is inversely proportional to the half-width of the activated water, that is, less ore filling results in a larger half-width; conversely, more ore filling results in a smaller half-width (smaller water molecule clusters).

[0034] When the flow rate of the water remains unchanged and the ore filling amount is fixed, by changing the column diameter-length ratio of the column body, under certain conditions, the column diameter-length ratio is inversely proportional to the half-width of the activated water, that is, a smaller column diameter-length ratio results in a larger half-width; conversely, a larger column diameter-length ratio results in a smaller half-width (smaller water molecule clusters).

[0035] When the column diameter-length ratio of the column body remains unchanged and the ore filling amount is fixed, by changing the flow rate of the water, under certain conditions, the flow rate is directly proportional to the half-width of the activated water, that is, a faster flow rate results in a larger half-width; conversely, a slower flow rate results in a smaller half-width (smaller water molecule clusters).

[0036] In this embodiment, purified water is selected, and the same as the following other embodiments and comparative examples. The half-width of this purified water is detected by NMR-500, and the results are shown in Figure 1 . As Figure 1 shown, the half-width of the purified water is 146.59 Hz, which belongs to macromolecular water.

[0037] This device uses a single-component ore to achieve the purpose of activated water. The equipment is simple, the process is concise, and by controlling the ore filling amount, diameter-length ratio, and flow rate, sub-molecular water or small-molecular water can be obtained, which is more suitable for large-scale production.

[0038] <Example 2-5> Prepare sub-molecular water or small-molecule water using the device for producing activated water in Example 1 according to Table 2 below. The half-width detection graph is shown in Figures 3 - 6 .

[0040] <Examples 6 - 8> Prepare sub-molecular water or small-molecule water using the activated water device in Example 1 according to Table 3 below. The half-width detection graph is shown in Figures 7 - 9 . For easy comparison, the data of Example 5 are listed in Table 3.

[0042] <Examples 9 - 11> Prepare sub-molecular water or small-molecule water using the activated water device in Example 1 according to Table 4 below. The half-width detection graph is shown in Figures 10 - 12 . For easy comparison, the data of Example 5 are listed in Table 4.

[0044] <Examples 12 - 14> Prepare small-molecule water using saponin and the activated water device in Example 1 according to Table 5 below. According to the ratio of pure water:saponin = 100 mL : : 0.075 g, mix water and saponin and then add them to the activated water device to make the water small-moleculeized. The half-width detection graph is shown in Figures 13 - 15 .

[0046] In addition, from the comparison between Examples 12, 13, 14 and Example 5, it can be seen that under the same conditions of aspect ratio, ore filling rate and flow rate, the synergistic effect of saponins and ore on water activation is better than that of the activation water device alone (the half-width is smaller).

[0048] Control group: 20 mL of pure water; Test group: Sub-molecular water of Example 3 (aspect ratio 4:400, flow rate 0.01 cm / s, filling amount 60%); Use the water of the control group and the test group to prepare breviscapine aqueous solutions with different concentrations, let stand for 3 h, observe the solubility, and the results are shown in Table 6 and Figure 16 . Figure 16 Among them, the dissolution result diagrams of 6.25%, 12.5% and 25% are shown in a, b and c respectively; in the three diagrams, the left side is the test group and the right side is the control group.

[0050] <Test Example 2> Immediate moisturizing effect detection of sub-molecular water on human body.

[0051] As a basic skin care effect, the evaluation method of moisturizing effect is relatively mature and convenient, and usually the water content of the human stratum corneum can be detected.

[0052] Water content detection instrument: DermaLab Combo skin detector; Control group: 100 mL of pure water spray; Test group: Sub-molecular water of Example 3 (aspect ratio 4:400, flow rate 0.01 cm / s, filling amount 60%).

[0053] Detection method: Select a stable environment with constant temperature and humidity. The subject keeps the arm skin dry, and use the water detection probe of the DermaLab Combo skin detector to detect the inner forearm. Before the test, divide the blank control group and the sample application group (test group) areas, make a 3 cm × 3 cm mark in the corresponding test areas, and use the water detection probe of the DermaLab Combo skin detector to measure the water content of the specified area 8 times in parallel, and take the average value as the initial value of the water content.

[0054] Use a dropper to evenly apply the same amount of the test sample within the test area, tap gently to promote the absorption of the sample, and then dry the excess moisture with a tissue. Measure the water content of the control group and the test group 8 times, take the average value, and examine the change in the water content of the sample and the test group. The results are shown in Table 5.

[0055] Table 7 Results of the immediate moisturizing human efficacy test

[0056] As can be seen from Table 7, the immediate water content of sub-molecular water increased by 192%, and that of pure water increased by 154%. The immediate moisturizing effect of sub-molecular water is better than that of pure water.
