Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] An object of the present invention is to provide a novel gas reforming body capable of reforming gas, a gas reforming method using the same, a reformed gas obtained by the gas reforming method, and a method for producing tea using the reformed gas.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0005] As a result of diligent research into the above-mentioned problems, the inventors of the present invention discovered that a gas can be modified by passing the gas to be treated through a sintered body containing a mixture of plant extract and ceramic raw materials, thereby completing the present invention.

[0006] In other words, the present invention relates to the following novel gas reformer, a gas reforming method using the same, a reformed gas obtained by the gas reforming method, and a method for producing tea using the reformed gas.

[0007] The gas reformer of the present invention, which solves the above problems, is characterized by being made of a sintered body of a mixture containing plant extract and ceramic raw material, and having a vent hole through which gas passes. This gas reformer is useful for reforming gases.

[0008] One embodiment of the gas reformer of the present invention is characterized in that the plant extract is a plant belonging to the Rhamnaceae, Polyporaceae, or Apiaceae families, or an oak or beech. In particular, it is preferable that the plant extract includes extracts of Salix gracilistyla, Eleutherococcus senticosus, Reishi mushroom, and Carrot, as well as wood vinegar. This characteristic further enhances the gas reforming effect.

[0009] The gas reforming method of the present invention, which solves the above problems, is characterized by including a step of passing gas through the gas reformer. This gas reforming method allows for the production of reformed gas. The reformed gas obtained in this way possesses new functions and is useful in various fields.

[0010] The present invention, which solves the above problems, includes a step of removing moisture by kneading tea leaves while applying hot air of the modified gas, wherein the hot air is obtained by heating the modified gas with electricity supplied through an electric wire coated in the order of an alloy, a sintered body of a mixture containing plant extract and ceramic raw material, or by heating the gas before modification with the same electricity and passing it through the gas modified body. This tea manufacturing method reduces fuel consumption and allows for more efficient tea production. [Effects of the Invention]

[0011] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a novel gas reformer capable of reforming gas, a gas reforming method using the same, a reformed gas obtained by the gas reforming method, and a method for producing tea using the reformed gas. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0012] The following describes in detail embodiments of the gas reformer according to the present invention, a gas reforming method using the same, a reformed gas obtained by the gas reforming method, and a method for producing tea using the reformed gas. The technical features described in the embodiments are merely illustrative examples used to explain the gas reformer according to the present invention, the gas reforming method using the same, the reformed gas obtained by the gas reforming method, and the method for producing tea using the reformed gas, and are not limited thereto.

[0013] [Gas reformer] The gas reformer of the present invention is characterized by comprising a sintered body of a mixture containing plant extract and ceramic raw material, and having vents for passing gas through. The gas reformed by this gas reformer has no particular restrictions on its use, but for example, if the gas is air, it is preferable to use it when drying tea leaves in tea production.

[0014] Since sintered bodies contain a mixture of plant extracts and ceramic raw materials, the organic matter contained in the plant extracts is carbonized and present as carbides, along with inorganic substances such as metal ions contained in the plant extracts. Furthermore, because the plant extracts are incorporated into the interior of the ceramic structure, sintered bodies contain a large amount of plant extracts.

[0015] The shape of the sintered body is not particularly limited, but as a novel function, it is desirable that it be a porous body with a relatively large specific surface area, since a modified gas can be obtained by passing the gas to be treated, such as air, oxygen, or nitrogen, through the vent holes of the gas reformer of the present invention and bringing it into contact with it. Specifically, a honeycomb shape or a monolithic shape is preferred. Furthermore, the sintered body may take the form of a plate, prismatic, cylindrical, ball, granular, powder, flake, sheet, or film.

[0016] The manufacturing of the sintered body is the same as the manufacturing of ordinary ceramics, except that plant extracts are added to the ceramic raw materials. For example, it includes a mixing step of mixing plant extracts and ceramic raw materials, a molding step of shaping the resulting mixture, and a sintering step of firing the molded product.

[0017] For example, one or more ceramic raw materials can be selected and used from among silica, alumina, aluminosilicate, magnesia, yttria, zirconia, mullite, cordierite, titania, sialon, carbon, silicon carbide, silicon nitride, spinel, nickel aluminate, aluminum titanate, calcium phosphate, etc.

[0018] Plant extracts are not particularly limited as long as they contain plant-derived components, but examples of plants include the following edible and medicinal plants.

Furthermore, one or more supercritical fluids or subcritical fluids such as water, carbon dioxide, ethylene, propylene, ethane, propane, nitrous oxide, chlorodifluoromethane, chlorotrifluoromethane, xenon, dimethyl ether, ammonia, methanol, ethanol, etc. may be used.

[0022] As a preferred extraction method, a method of putting the plant body into water and repeating heating and cooling a plurality of times is preferred. The heating temperature is, for example, 60 to 110°C, and the cooling temperature is, for example, normal temperature (15 to 25°C). Furthermore, it is preferable to store the product at room temperature thereafter, with a storage period of preferably one month or more, more preferably six months or more, even more preferably one year or more, and particularly preferably two years or more. The upper limit of the storage period is, for example, three years or less. Furthermore, it is preferable to use the supernatant of the plant extract obtained by this extraction method.

[0023] The ratio of plant material to solvent during extraction is not particularly limited, but for example, the volume of solvent per 1g of plant material is 0.1 to 1000mL.

[0024] The plant extract may be an extract of the above-mentioned plants, but it may also be wood vinegar. Examples of wood vinegar include a liquid extracted by burning wood such as oak or chestnut, or bamboo.

[0025] Particularly preferred plant extracts include those of Eleutherococcus senticosus, Salix gracilistyla, Reishi mushroom, and Carrot japonica, as well as wood vinegar.

[0026] The mixture of plant extracts and ceramic raw materials may also contain other raw materials. Examples of other raw materials include dispersants, binders, and pore-forming agents. As a dispersant, one or more can be selected and used from among low molecular weight dispersants such as inorganic acids such as nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, and sulfuric acid; organic acids such as oxalic acid, citric acid, acetic acid, malic acid, and lactic acid; and alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, and propanol. As a high molecular weight dispersant, one or more can be selected and used from among water-soluble polymer compounds such as polyacrylic acid derivatives such as polyacrylic acid and ammonium polyacrylate salts, and water-soluble polymer surfactants such as ammonium polycarboxylate. Examples of binders include polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, carboxymethylcellulose, acrylic resin, and agar. Examples of por-forming materials include polymer microparticles.

[0027] In the mixing process, which involves combining plant extracts and ceramic raw materials, any method that ensures sufficient mixing of the two materials is acceptable, and a general-purpose mixing machine can be used.

[0028] In the molding process for forming the mixture, any molding method may be used, such as die pressing, cold isohydrographic pressing, casting, injection molding, and extrusion molding.

[0029] Any sintering method can be used in the sintering process, such as solid-phase sintering, liquid-phase sintering, atmospheric pressure sintering, or pressure sintering. The sintering temperature is, for example, 1000 to 2000°C. Before the sintering process, pre-sintering may be performed at a temperature of 500 to less than 1000°C, or the molded product may be dried at a temperature of 100 to less than 500°C.

[0030] The vents in the gas reformer are not particularly limited as long as they are large enough to allow gas to pass through. Furthermore, while at least one vent is sufficient, multiple vents are also permitted.

[0031] [Gas reforming method] The gas reforming method of the present invention includes the step of passing gas through the vent holes of the gas reformer. This makes it possible to obtain a reformed gas by bringing the gas into contact with the gas reformer. The contact time is not particularly limited, for example, within the range of 0.01 to several tens of seconds. The contact temperature is also not particularly limited, for example, within the range of 0 to 100°C.

[0032] [Uses of reformed gas] The modified gas of the present invention is useful, for example, in the production of tea. The method for producing tea (crude tea) according to the present invention can be manufactured using conventional tea manufacturing methods, except for the step of removing moisture by kneading the tea leaves while applying hot air from a modified gas.

[0033] Tea is generally produced by sequentially carrying out the following steps: a first step of humidifying the freshly picked tea leaves with water while blowing cool air on them to suppress fermentation (oxidation); a second step of steaming the tea leaves; and a third step of gradually removing the moisture.

[0034] The water used in the first step may be, for example, tap water, purified water, groundwater, well water, natural water, etc., but water obtained by the method for producing plant component-containing ceramic treated water described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 7702703 may also be used. The temperature of the cool air is not particularly restricted as long as it is within a range that can suppress the fermentation (oxidation) of the tea leaves, for example, within the range of 0 to 40°C.

[0035] In the second step, the temperature and time for steaming the tea leaves vary depending on the method of steaming, but for example, it is done at a temperature within the range of 100-110°C for 10-180 seconds.

[0036] In the third step, the moisture contained in the tea leaves is removed in stages. For example, all processes such as "leaf flattening," "rough rolling," "rolling," "intermediate rolling," "final rolling," and "drying" are carried out in stages. In this way, the moisture contained in the tea leaves is removed in stages, the shape of the tea leaves is made uniform, and the moisture content is made uniform. These moisture components are removed by applying hot air from modified gas while kneading the tea leaves during all stages of the process, including "leaf pounding," "rough kneading," "intermediate kneading," "final kneading," and "drying."

[0037] The hot air for the reformed gas may be obtained by heating the reformed gas with electricity supplied through an electric wire coated in the order of alloy, plant extract, and ceramic raw material sintered body, or by heating the gas before reforming with the same electricity and passing it through the gas reformer.

[0038] As for the electrical wires themselves, there are no particular restrictions as long as they conduct electricity efficiently; for example, soft copper, gold, silver, and aluminum can be used. The alloy covering the electric wire can be, for example, a tin-containing copper alloy; an aluminum alloy containing magnesium, silicon, etc., but it is not particularly limited as long as it conducts electricity efficiently and has excellent strength. Furthermore, it is preferable that the wire and the alloy are connected. The connection between the wire and the alloy can be ensured by flowing molten solder between the outer circumference of the wire and the inner circumference of the alloy.

[0039] The sintered body covering the alloy can be manufactured as described above. This sintered body is formed into two semi-circular shapes by dividing a cylindrical shape into two, and is attached in close contact with the alloy and fixed in place with adhesive tape or the like.

[0040] The temperature of the hot air is not particularly limited as long as it can remove moisture from the tea leaves, but it is generally within the range of 50 to 120°C. The time for applying hot air is not particularly limited as long as it reduces the tea leaves to the desired moisture content, but for example, it is within the range of 5 to 50 minutes. [Examples]

[0041] The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples.

[0042] <Manufacturing of gas reformers> The gas reformer of the present invention was manufactured using the following procedure. (Extraction of plant components) As plant-based ingredients, we prepared equal amounts of extracts from our own cultivated willow, deer antler reishi mushroom, mountain ginseng (Hyuga-toki), and Hokkaido-grown Eleutherococcus senticosus. Water was used as the extraction solvent, and the raw material consisted of the entire plant, including branches and stems, in a dried state. Specifically, 400g of dried plant material was added to 40L of water, heated for 3 days, and then stored at room temperature for several days. The supernatant was then collected as the plant extract. Water was added to compensate for the loss due to evaporation during heating, ensuring that the final volume remained at 40L. This process was repeated twice, using a total of 80L of water and 800g of dried plant material. In addition, 10 liters of oak vinegar and 10 liters of Japanese oak vinegar, totaling 20 liters, were mixed with the above plant extract.

[0043] (Manufacturing of gas reformers) 3000 kg of ceramic raw material powder purchased from a ceramic manufacturing company was immersed in 2500 L of a 25-fold diluted solution of the above-mentioned plant extract and cured for 8 months. Subsequently, the ceramic manufacturing company molded a plate (20 cm x 20 cm x 13 mm thick) with 15 mm square holes spaced 15 mm apart, and sintered it at 1250°C to 1300°C for 480 hours (20 days) to produce a gas reformer.

[0044] <Tea production> Freshly picked tea leaves were humidified with water while being exposed to cold air, and then steamed. Subsequently, the air intake sections of the leaf-beating machine, rough-rolling machine, rolling machine, intermediate-rolling machine, fine-rolling machine, and dryer were each covered with a gas modifier. The air that passed through the gas modifier was heated by electricity supplied through wires coated in the order of alloy, plant extract, and ceramic raw material sintered body, and the resulting hot air was applied to the tea leaves to gradually remove moisture contained in the tea leaves, producing tea with a uniform moisture content (4-5%) (Example). As a comparative example, tea was produced in the same manner as above, except that air that had not passed through the gas modifier and electricity supplied through wires that were not coated in the sintered body mixture containing alloy, plant extract, and ceramic raw material were used. Table 1 shows the amount of tea leaves processed using 1 kg of LP gas, which is dried to a predetermined moisture content using a leaf-beating machine and a rough-rolling machine, respectively, and the amount of tea leaves processed using 1 L of heavy oil, which is used to operate the leaf-beating machine and rough-rolling machine and to generate electricity to heat the air.

[0045] [Table 1]

[0046] From the results in Table 1, it was found that this embodiment can process more tea leaves with 1 kg of LP gas and more tea leaves with 1 liter of heavy oil compared to the comparative example. [Industrial applicability]

[0047] The gas reformer and gas reforming method using the present invention can provide a gas (reformed gas) with novel functions. For example, by using the reformed gas of the present invention in tea production, particularly for drying tea leaves, fuel consumption can be reduced and tea can be produced efficiently.
