Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a gas-dissolved aqueous solution production system for producing a gas-dissolved aqueous solution.

Background Art

[0002] A gas-dissolved water production device is disclosed that includes a container for storing raw water, a gas generation unit in which a solid polymer electrolyte membrane is sandwiched between a porous upper electrode and a porous lower electrode, a power supply control unit for controlling a DC voltage applied to each of the upper electrode and the lower electrode of the gas generation unit, and a pair of conductive members that connect each of the upper electrode and the lower electrode to the power supply control unit. The gas generation unit is disposed obliquely with respect to the horizontal direction such that a higher position of the gas generation unit is positioned higher in the horizontal direction, and the gas generation unit connected to the conductive member is installed at the bottom of the container storing the raw water, so that main generated gas is generated on the side of the upper electrode and sub-generated gas is generated on the side of the lower electrode (see Patent Document 1).

[0003] In the gas-dissolved water production device, a large number of main generated gases are generated in the form of minute bubbles at the interface between the upper electrode and the solid polymer electrolyte membrane on the upper electrode side, and a large number of sub-generated gases are generated in the form of minute bubbles at the interface between the lower electrode and the solid polymer electrolyte membrane on the lower electrode side. On the upper electrode side, since there is no shielding object upward, minute bubbles of the main generated gas float in the raw water. At that time, in the minute bubbles of the main generated gas, the gas / liquid contact area per unit volume of the gas with respect to the raw water is large, and the floating speed is slow, so that contact with the raw water is ensured for a long time, and thus the main generated gas is dissolved in the raw water at a high concentration.

The hydrogen generated by the electrolysis device molecule Since the ultra-fine bubble generator dissolves hydrogen (H2) and oxygen molecules (O2) in pure water, it is possible to produce a gas-dissolved aqueous solution in which a gas composition capable of inducing the activity of the electron transport system of cell mitochondria is dissolved. The gas-dissolved aqueous solution production system is hydrogen dissolved in the gas-dissolved aqueous solution in a state of ultra-fine bubbles molecule (H2) and oxygen molecules (O2) enter from the outer membrane to the inner membrane of the mitochondria of cells, and hydrogen molecule (H2) and oxygen molecules (O2) induce the production of ATP while inducing the activity of the electron transport system of mitochondria, so it is possible to produce a gas-dissolved aqueous solution that can surely activate mitochondria. Since the pure water is cooled to a predetermined temperature (0.5 to 1 °C) by the chiller in the gas-dissolved aqueous solution production system, hydrogen is added to the pure water by cooling the pure water to a predetermined low temperature molecule (H2) and oxygen molecules (O2) can be easily dissolved.

Even if the gas-dissolved aqueous solution flowing into the sterilization tank contains miscellaneous bacteria or viruses, the miscellaneous bacteria or viruses are sterilized by the sterilization lamp, so it is possible to produce a clean gas-dissolved aqueous solution from which the miscellaneous bacteria or viruses have been removed.

[0023] This gas-dissolved aqueous solution production system uses a water supply pump to return the gas-dissolved aqueous solution from the sterilization tank to the gas-dissolved aqueous solution production tank and to flow it back into the sterilization tank, thereby circulating the gas-dissolved aqueous solution multiple times between the sterilization tank and the gas-dissolved aqueous solution production tank.

The gas-dissolved aqueous solution production system cools the gas-dissolved aqueous solution to a predetermined temperature (0.5~1°C) by a chiller. By cooling the gas-dissolved aqueous solution to a predetermined low temperature, hydrogen (H2) is dissolved in the gas-dissolved aqueous solution. molecule (H2) and oxygen molecules (O2) can be easily dissolved.

In the stirring and mixing tank, the gas-dissolved aqueous solution sterilized by the sterilization tank is cooled to a predetermined temperature by the chiller, and predetermined nutrients are dissolved (mixed) into the gas-dissolved aqueous solution while stirring it. molecule By using a stirring and mixing tank, predetermined nutrients can be dissolved in a gas-dissolved aqueous solution containing high concentrations of (H2) and oxygen molecules (O2). For example, gas-dissolved aqueous solutions containing nutrients such as carbon sources (glucose, etc.), nitrogen sources (amino acids), vitamins (thiamine, etc.), and inorganic salts can be produced. In the gas-dissolved aqueous solution production system, the gas-dissolved aqueous solution flowing into the stirring and mixing tank is cooled to a predetermined temperature (0.5~1°C) by a chiller. By cooling the gas-dissolved aqueous solution to a predetermined low temperature, hydrogen is released from the gas-dissolved aqueous solution. molecule This method allows for the easy dissolution (incorporation) of specific nutrients into a gas-dissolved aqueous solution while preventing the loss of H2 and oxygen molecules (O2).

The control unit of the electrolysis apparatus 12 stops the operation of the electrolysis apparatus 12 in response to an OFF signal transmitted from the control server 22.

[0047] As shown in Figure 2, the electrolysis apparatus 12 is formed from an anode 26 (a thin plate electrode made of nanocarbon supporting platinum powder), a cathode 27 (a thin plate electrode made of nanocarbon supporting platinum powder), a solid polymer electrolyte membrane 28 (electrode assembly membrane) (a fluorine-based ion exchange membrane having sulfonic acid groups) positioned (interposed) between the anode 26 and the cathode 27, an anode power supply member 29 and a cathode power supply member 30, an anode water tank 31 and a cathode water tank 32, an anode main electrode 33 and a cathode main electrode 34.

[0048] The electrolysis apparatus 12 energizes the anode 26 and cathode 27 by a pulse generator that alternately applies positive and negative DC current, causing an oxidation reaction at the anode 26 and a reduction reaction at the cathode 27, thereby chemically decomposing pure water (water). In the electrolysis apparatus 12, the anode 26, cathode 27, and solid polymer electrolyte membrane 28 overlap in the thickness direction and are integrated to form a membrane / electrode assembly 35 (MEA), which is sandwiched between an anode power supply member 29 and a cathode power supply member 30.

[0049] The anode power supply member 29 is located outside the anode 26 and is in close contact with the anode 26, supplying a positive current to the anode 26. The anode water tank 31 is located outside the anode power supply member 29 and is in close contact with the anode power supply member 29. The anode main electrode 33 is located outside the anode water tank 31 and supplies a positive current to the anode power supply member 29.

When the gas-dissolved aqueous solution production system 10 is started, the control server 22 starts up, and the pure water generator 11 (pure water generation unit), electrolysis unit 12 (electrolysis unit), first and second chillers 13, 14, gas-dissolved aqueous solution production tank 15, sterilization tank 16, stirring and mixing tank 17, nutrient storage tank 18, filter units 21, 36, 41, 66, 78, solenoid valves 37, 42, 55, 59, 67, 71, 79, 83, flow meters 39, 44, 56, 61, 69, 81, pressure gauges 40, 45, 70, 82, barometers 57, 62, water supply pumps 20, 38, 43, 68, 80, and air supply pumps 58, 60 start up in standby mode.

[0100] The control server 22 sends an ON signal to the control unit of the water supply pump 20, and the control unit of the water supply pump 20 operates the water supply pump 20. As shown by arrow L1 in Figure 7, the tap water (or natural water) pumped by the water supply pump 20 flows through the water pipeline 19 and the first filter unit 21 before flowing into the pure water generator 11. The pure water generator 11 removes cations and anions contained in the tap water (or natural water) and produces pure water from the tap water (or natural water) (pure water generation process).

[0101] After a predetermined time has elapsed since the water supply pump 20 was started, the control server 22 sends an ON signal to the control units of the first and second solenoid valves 37 and 42, and also sends measurement signals to the first and second pure water flow meters 39 and 44 and the first and second pressure gauges 40 and 45. The control unit of the first solenoid valve 37 opens the valve of the first solenoid valve 37, opening the first pure water pipeline 23, and the control unit of the second solenoid valve 42 opens the valve of the second solenoid valve 42, opening the second pure water pipeline 24. The operating first and second pure water flow meters 39 and 44 begin measuring the flow rate of pure water, and the operating first and second pressure gauges 40 and 45 begin measuring the pressure of pure water.

[0102] Furthermore, the control server 22 transmits an ON signal to the control units of the first and second pure water supply pumps 38 and 43, causing the control unit of the first pure water supply pump 38 to operate the first pure water supply pump 38, and the control unit of the second pure water supply pump 43 to operate the second pure water supply pump 43. The control server 22 also transmits an ON signal to the control units of the first and second air supply pumps 58 and 60, causing the control unit of the first air supply pump 58 to operate the first air supply pump 58, and the control unit of the second air supply pump 60 to operate the second air supply pump 60.

[0103] The control server 22 transmits an ON signal to the control units of the third and fourth solenoid valves 55 and 59. The control unit of the third solenoid valve 55 opens the valve of the third solenoid valve 55, opening the hydrogen supply line 50, and the control unit of the fourth solenoid valve 59 opens the valve of the fourth solenoid valve 59, opening the oxygen supply line 51. The control server 22 transmits an ON signal to the control unit of the first chiller 13, and the control unit of the first chiller 13 starts operating the first chiller 13. The control server 22 supplies carbon dioxide (or carbonated water) contained in the carbon dioxide storage tank 49 to the gas dissolved aqueous solution production tank 15.

[0104] The control server 22 transmits measurement signals to the hydrogen flow meter 56, hydrogen barometer 57, oxygen flow meter 61, and oxygen barometer 62. The activated hydrogen flow meter 56 measures the amount of hydrogen flowing through the hydrogen supply pipe 50. molecule (H2) Flow rate measurement was started, and the activated hydrogen pressure meter 57 measured the hydrogen flowing through the hydrogen supply pipe 50. moleculeThe pressure measurement of (H2) is started. The activated oxygen flowmeter 61 starts measuring the flow rate of oxygen molecules (O2) passing through the oxygen supply pipe 51, and the activated oxygen barometer 62 starts measuring the pressure of oxygen molecules (O2) passing through the oxygen supply pipe 51.

[0105] The pure water produced by the pure water generator 11 flows from the pure water generator 11 into the first pure water pipeline 23 and the second pure water pipeline 24. The pure water flowing into the first pure water pipeline 23 is pumped by the first pure water supply pump 38 and flows through the second filter unit 36 ​​and the first solenoid valve 37 to the electrolysis device 12, as shown by arrow L2 in Figure 7. The pure water flowing into the second pure water pipeline 24 is pumped by the second pure water supply pump 43 and flows through the third filter unit 41 and the second solenoid valve 42 to the first ultrafine bubble generator 52 and the second ultrafine bubble generator 53 of the gas dissolved aqueous solution production tank 15, as shown by arrow L3 in Figure 7.

[0106] In the electrolysis apparatus 12, pure water is electrolyzed to produce hydrogen. molecule (H2) is generated along with oxygen molecules (O2) (electrolysis process). In the electrolysis of water in the electrolysis apparatus 12, as shown by the arrows in Figure 6, pure water (H2O) is supplied to the anode reservoir 31 and the cathode reservoir 32, a positive current is supplied to the anode main electrode 33 from the power source by a pulse generator, and a negative current is supplied to the cathode main electrode 34 from the power source by a pulse generator. The positive current supplied to the anode main electrode 33 is supplied to the anode 26 from the anode power supply member 29, and the negative current supplied to the cathode main electrode 34 is supplied to the cathode 27 from the cathode power supply member 30.

[0107] At anode 26 (a thin plate-shaped electrode made from nanocarbon supported with platinum powder), 2H2O → 4H + +4e - Oxygen is generated by the anodic reaction (catalysis) of +O2, and at the cathode 27 (a thin plate electrode made of nanocarbon supported with platinum powder), 4H + +4e -→Hydrogen is produced by the cathode reaction (catalysis) of 2H2. Proton (hydrogen molecule H2) moves from the anode 26 to the cathode 27 (electrode) through the solid polymer electrolyte membrane 28. Protons generated at the anode 26 flow through the solid polymer electrolyte membrane 28.

[0108] The gas-dissolved aqueous solution production system 10 (gas-dissolved aqueous solution production method) uses a pulse generator that alternately applies positive and negative direct current to thin plate electrodes (anode 26 and cathode 27) made of nanocarbon supported with platinum powder to electrolyze pure water (water), thereby efficiently electrolyzing pure water (water) to produce hydrogen. molecule It is possible to reliably produce a gas composition formed from (H2) (hydrogen gas) and oxygen molecules (O2) (oxygen gas), and hydrogen molecule A gas-dissolved aqueous solution containing high concentrations of (H2) and oxygen molecules (O2) can be produced.

[0109] Hydrogen generated in the electrolysis apparatus 12 molecule (H2) is pumped by the first air supply pump 58 and flows through the air filter 54 and the third solenoid valve 55 to the first ultrafine bubble generator 52 of the gas-dissolved aqueous solution production tank 15, as shown by the arrow L4 in Figure 7. The oxygen molecules (O2) generated in the electrolysis apparatus 12 are pumped by the second air supply pump 60 and flow through the air filter 54 and the fourth solenoid valve 59 to the second ultrafine bubble generator 53 of the gas-dissolved aqueous solution production tank 15, as shown by the arrow L5 in Figure 7.

[0110] In the first ultrafine bubble generator 52, hydrogen is generated using one of the following methods: static mixer type, swirling liquid flow type, or pressurized dissolution type. molecule While (H2) is in the state of ultrafine bubbles, molecule (H2) is dissolved in pure water in the form of nano-sized ultrafine bubbles (nanobubbles) (hydrogen molecule(First dissolution step). In the second ultrafine bubble generator 53, oxygen molecules (O2) are dissolved in pure water in the form of nano-sized ultrafine bubbles (nanobubbles) using one of the following methods: static mixer type, swirling liquid flow type, or pressurized dissolution type (first oxygen molecule dissolution step).

[0111] Furthermore, carbon dioxide (or carbonated water) contained in the carbon dioxide storage tank 49 is supplied (or supplied) to the gas-dissolved aqueous solution production tank 15, and a small amount of carbon dioxide (or carbonated water) is dissolved in the pure water or gas-dissolved aqueous solution. In addition, the pure water or gas-dissolved aqueous solution is cooled to a predetermined temperature (0.5~1°C) by the first chiller. Note that in some cases, carbon dioxide (carbonated water) is not dissolved in the pure water or gas-dissolved aqueous solution without adding a small amount of carbon dioxide (carbonated water). The concentration of carbon dioxide (carbonated water) relative to the total volume of pure water or gas-dissolved aqueous solution stored in the gas-dissolved aqueous solution production tank 15 is 0.005~0.009 ppm.

[0112] The gas-dissolved aqueous solution production system 10 (gas-dissolved aqueous solution production method) uses a small amount of carbon dioxide molecules dissolved in pure water as a carrier, and hydrogen is added to these carbon dioxide molecules. molecule When (H2) and an oxygen molecule (O2) combine, hydrogen molecule (H2) and oxygen molecules (O2) can be dissolved at high concentrations in the gas-dissolved aqueous solution, molecule A gas-dissolved aqueous solution containing high concentrations of (H2) and oxygen molecules (O2) can be produced. Furthermore, since the pure water or gas-dissolved aqueous solution is cooled to a predetermined temperature (0.5~1°C) by the first chiller 13, by cooling the pure water or gas-dissolved aqueous solution to a predetermined low temperature, hydrogen can be dissolved in the pure water or gas-dissolved aqueous solution. molecule (H2) and oxygen molecules (O2) can be easily dissolved.

[0113] After a set amount of gas-dissolved aqueous solution is stored inside the gas-dissolved aqueous solution production tank 15, the control server 22 sends an OFF signal to the control unit of the second pure water supply pump 43, and the control unit of the second pure water supply pump 43 stops the operation of the second pure water supply pump 43. The control server 22 also sends an OFF signal to the control unit of the second solenoid valve 42, and the control unit of the second solenoid valve 42 closes the valve of the second solenoid valve 42, closing the second pure water pipeline 24.

[0114] The control server 22 transmits an ON signal to the control unit of the fifth solenoid valve 67 and also transmits an ON signal to the control unit of the sixth solenoid valve 71, causing the control unit of the fifth solenoid valve 67 to open the valve of the fifth solenoid valve 67 and open the first aqueous solution pipeline 63, and the control unit of the sixth solenoid valve 71 to open the valve of the sixth solenoid valve 71 and open the bypass pipeline 64. The control server 22 transmits an ON signal to the control unit of the first gas-dissolved aqueous solution supply pump 68, causing the control unit of the first gas-dissolved aqueous solution supply pump 68 to operate the first gas-dissolved aqueous solution supply pump 68.

[0115] Furthermore, the control server 22 transmits measurement signals to the first gas-dissolved aqueous solution flow meter 69 and the third pressure gauge 70. The activated first gas-dissolved aqueous solution flow meter 69 begins measuring the flow rate of the gas-dissolved aqueous solution flowing through the first aqueous solution pipeline 63, and the activated third pressure gauge 70 begins measuring the water pressure of the gas-dissolved aqueous solution flowing through the first aqueous solution pipeline 63. The control server 22 transmits an ON signal to the control unit of the germicidal lamp 65, and the control unit of the germicidal lamp 65 turns on the germicidal lamp 65. The valve of the seventh solenoid valve 79 is closed, and the second aqueous solution pipeline 72 is closed.

[0116] The gas-dissolved aqueous solution produced by the gas-dissolved aqueous solution production tank 15 is pumped by the first gas-dissolved aqueous solution supply pump 68 and flows from the gas-dissolved aqueous solution production tank 15 into the first aqueous solution pipeline 63, passes through the fourth filter unit 66 and the fifth solenoid valve 67, and flows into the sterilization tank 16. In the sterilization tank 16, the gas-dissolved aqueous solution that flows in is sterilized by the germicidal lamp 65 (sterilization process).

[0117] The gas-dissolved aqueous solution sterilized by the sterilization tank 16 flows into the bypass pipeline 64, passes through the sixth solenoid valve 71, and flows into the first ultrafine bubble generator 52 of the gas-dissolved aqueous solution production tank 15, as well as into the second ultrafine bubble generator 53. In the gas-dissolved aqueous solution production system 10 (gas-dissolved aqueous solution production method), the gas-dissolved aqueous solution circulating in the gas-dissolved aqueous solution production tank 15 and the sterilization tank 16 is pressurized to a water pressure of 0.5 to 0.7 MPa by the first gas-dissolved aqueous solution water supply pump 68, and the gas-dissolved aqueous solution at this water pressure flows into the first and second ultrafine bubble generators 52 and 53.

[0118] In the first ultrafine bubble generator 52, hydrogen molecule While (H2) is in the state of ultrafine bubbles, molecule (H2) is dissolved in a gas-dissolved aqueous solution that is returned from the sterilization tank 16 in the form of nano-sized ultrafine bubbles (nanobubbles). molecule (Second dissolution step). In the second ultrafine bubble generator 53, oxygen molecules (O2) are converted into ultrafine bubbles, and the oxygen molecules (O2) are dissolved in the gas-dissolved aqueous solution refluxed from the sterilization tank 16 in the form of nano-sized ultrafine bubbles (nanobubbles) (second oxygen molecule dissolution step).

[0119] In the gas-dissolved aqueous solution production system 10 (gas-dissolved aqueous solution production method), the procedure of returning the gas-dissolved aqueous solution from the sterilization tank 16 to the gas-dissolved aqueous solution production tank 15 and returning it from the gas-dissolved aqueous solution production tank 15 to the sterilization tank 16 is repeated. For example, the gas-dissolved aqueous solution contained in the gas-dissolved aqueous solution production tank 15 circulates back and forth (circulates) between the sterilization tank 16 and the gas-dissolved aqueous solution production tank 15 at least two times. Preferably, the gas-dissolved aqueous solution contained in the gas-dissolved aqueous solution production tank 15 circulates back and forth (circulates) between the sterilization tank 16 and the gas-dissolved aqueous solution production tank 15 three to five times.

[0120] The gas-dissolved aqueous solution production system 10 (gas-dissolved aqueous solution production method) uses a first gas-dissolved aqueous solution water supply pump 68 (first water supply pump) to return the gas-dissolved aqueous solution from the sterilization tank 16 to the gas-dissolved aqueous solution production tank 15, and also allows it to flow from the gas-dissolved aqueous solution production tank 15 back into the sterilization tank 16. This causes the gas-dissolved aqueous solution to circulate multiple times between the sterilization tank 16 and the gas-dissolved aqueous solution production tank 15. The first ultrafine bubble generator 52 then generates hydrogen in the gas-dissolved aqueous solution that has been circulated multiple times. molecule (H2) is dissolved in the state of nano-sized ultrafine bubbles, and the second ultrafine bubble generator 53 dissolves oxygen molecules (O2) in the state of nano-sized ultrafine bubbles in the gas-dissolved aqueous solution that is circulated multiple times, thus hydrogen is added to the pure water. molecule This method can produce gas-dissolved aqueous solutions containing high concentrations of (H2) and oxygen molecules (O2), and can reliably induce the activity of the mitochondrial electron transport system in cells.

[0121] The gas-dissolved aqueous solution production system 10 (gas-dissolved aqueous solution production method) pressurizes the water pressure of the gas-dissolved aqueous solution to a range of 0.5 to 0.7 MPa by the first water supply pump 68 (first water supply pump). By setting the water pressure of the gas-dissolved aqueous solution to this range, hydrogen is added to the gas-dissolved aqueous solution. molecule (H2) and oxygen molecules (O2) can be easily dissolved, molecule A gas-dissolved aqueous solution containing high concentrations of (H2) and oxygen molecules (O2) can be produced.

[0122] After circulating the gas-dissolved aqueous solution between the sterilization tank 16 and the gas-dissolved aqueous solution production tank 15 multiple times (a set number of times), the control server 22 sends an OFF signal to the control unit of the sixth solenoid valve 71, and the control unit of the sixth solenoid valve 71 closes the valve of the sixth solenoid valve 71, closing the bypass pipeline 64. The control server 22 sends an ON signal to the control unit of the seventh solenoid valve 79, and the control unit of the seventh solenoid valve 79 opens the valve of the seventh solenoid valve 79, opening the second aqueous solution pipeline 72. The control server 22 sends an ON signal to the control unit of the second chiller 14, and the control unit of the second chiller 14 starts the second chiller 14.

[0123] Furthermore, the control server 22 sends an ON signal to the control unit of the second gas-dissolved aqueous solution water supply pump 80, and the control unit of the second gas-dissolved aqueous solution water supply pump 80 starts operating the second gas-dissolved aqueous solution water supply pump 80. The control server 22 sends measurement signals to the second gas-dissolved aqueous solution flow meter 81 and the fourth pressure gauge 82, and also sends an ON signal to the control unit of the eighth solenoid valve 83. The operating second gas-dissolved aqueous solution flow meter 81 starts measuring the flow rate of the gas-dissolved aqueous solution, and the operating fourth pressure gauge 82 starts measuring the pressure of the gas-dissolved aqueous solution. The control unit of the eighth solenoid valve 83 opens the valve of the eighth solenoid valve 83, opening the water supply pipeline 73.

[0124] The gas-dissolved aqueous solution, which has been returned multiple times from the sterilization tank 16 to the gas-dissolved aqueous solution production tank 15, flows into the second aqueous solution pipeline 72, is pumped by the gas-dissolved aqueous solution second water supply pump 80, and flows through the fifth filter unit 78 and the seventh solenoid valve 79 to the stirring and mixing tank 17, as shown by arrow L8 in Figure 7. In the gas-dissolved aqueous solution production system 10 (gas-dissolved aqueous solution production method), the gas-dissolved aqueous solution flowing through the second aqueous solution pipeline 72 is pressurized to a water pressure of 0.5 to 0.7 MPa by the gas-dissolved aqueous solution second water supply pump 80, and the gas-dissolved aqueous solution at the said water pressure flows into the stirring and mixing tank 17.

[0125] In the stirring and mixing tank 17, a low-speed stirring blade 77 rotates at a predetermined speed, and nutrients (minerals) contained in the nutrient storage tank 18 flow into the stirring and mixing tank 17 through the injection pipeline 73. At the same time, the gas-dissolved aqueous solution flows into the stirring and mixing tank 17, and the gas-dissolved aqueous solution and nutrients are stirred and mixed by the low-speed stirring blade 77, creating a gas-dissolved aqueous solution in which nutrients are dissolved (mixed) (nutrient mixing process).

[0126] The gas-dissolved aqueous solution or the gas-dissolved aqueous solution with dissolved (mixed) nutrients flows into the second chiller 14 through the cooling supply pipe 74, and the gas-dissolved aqueous solution cooled by the second chiller 14 flows into the stirring and mixing tank 17 through the cooling return pipe 75. In some cases, nutrients are not mixed into the gas-dissolved aqueous solution in the stirring and mixing tank 17. The gas-dissolved aqueous solution with dissolved nutrients or the gas-dissolved aqueous solution without mixed nutrients is collected in a designated container via the extraction pipe 76. The gas-dissolved aqueous solution collected in the container is stored refrigerated at approximately 1-4°C in a refrigerator.

[0127] In the gas-dissolved aqueous solution production system (gas-dissolved aqueous solution production method), the water pressure of the gas-dissolved aqueous solution flowing into the stirring and mixing tank 17 is pressurized to a range of 0.5 to 0.7 MPa by the gas-dissolved aqueous solution second water supply pump 80 (second water supply pump), so that hydrogen is produced by adjusting the water pressure of the gas-dissolved aqueous solution to this range. molecule It is possible to dissolve (mix) specific nutrients into the gas-dissolved aqueous solution while maintaining a state in which hydrogen (H2) and oxygen molecules (O2) are dissolved at a high concentration in the gas-dissolved aqueous solution, molecule A gas-dissolved aqueous solution can be produced in which (H2) and oxygen molecules (O2) are dissolved, along with predetermined nutrients.

[0128] In the gas-dissolved aqueous solution production system (gas-dissolved aqueous solution production method), the gas-dissolved aqueous solution that flows into the stirring and mixing tank 17 is cooled to a predetermined temperature (0.5~1°C) by the second chiller 14 (chiller). By cooling the gas-dissolved aqueous solution to a predetermined low temperature, hydrogen is released from the gas-dissolved aqueous solution. molecule This method allows for the easy dissolution (incorporation) of specific nutrients into a gas-dissolved aqueous solution while preventing the loss of H2 and oxygen molecules (O2).

[0129] After a set amount of gas-dissolved aqueous solution containing nutrients or gas-dissolved aqueous solution without nutrients is stored inside the stirring and mixing tank 17, the control server 22 sends an OFF signal to the control unit of the second gas-dissolved aqueous solution supply pump 80, and the control unit of the second gas-dissolved aqueous solution supply pump 80 stops operating the second gas-dissolved aqueous solution supply pump 80. The control server 22 also sends OFF signals to the control units of the seventh solenoid valve 79 and the eighth solenoid valve 83, and the control unit of the seventh solenoid valve 79 closes the valve of the seventh solenoid valve 79 to close the second aqueous solution pipeline 72, and the control unit of the eighth solenoid valve 83 closes the valve of the eighth solenoid valve 83 to close the injection pipeline 73.

[0130] In the gas-dissolved aqueous solution produced by the gas-dissolved aqueous solution production system 10 (gas-dissolved aqueous solution production method), a predetermined charge is charged on the surface of the ultrafine bubbles, and hydrogen is present on the surface of the ultrafine bubbles. molecule At least one of the two molecules, (H2) (hydrogen gas) and an oxygen molecule (O2) (oxygen gas), is electrically bonded.

[0131] The gas-dissolved aqueous solution produced by the gas-dissolved aqueous solution production system 10 (gas-dissolved aqueous solution production method) contains hydrogen relative to the total amount (total mass) of gas in the gas composition. molecule The concentration of hydrogen gas (H2) is in the range of 0.5 to 0.80 ppm, and the concentration of oxygen molecules (O2) (oxygen gas) relative to the total amount (total mass) of gas composition is in the range of 12.5 to 15.5 ppm. In the gas composition, hydrogen molecule (H2) and the oxygen molecule (O2) are in an unbonded, separated state.

[0132] Hydrogen in gas compositions molecule If the concentration of (H2) is less than 0.5 ppm and the concentration of oxygen molecules (O2) in the gas composition is less than 12.5 ppm, it is not possible to activate the mitochondria of cells. However, the gas-dissolved aqueous solution produced by the gas-dissolved aqueous solution production system 10 (gas-dissolved aqueous solution production method) has a hydrogen content relative to the total amount of gas (total mass) of the gas composition. moleculeThe concentration of (H2) is within the above range, and the concentration of oxygen molecules (O2) relative to the total amount (total mass) of gas composition is within the above range, and the gas composition (hydrogen molecule Because oxygen molecules are dissolved in the gas-dissolved aqueous solution in the state of nano-sized ultrafine bubbles, hydrogen dissolved in the gas-dissolved aqueous solution in the state of nanobubbles molecule (H2) and oxygen molecules (O2) easily enter the inner membrane from the outer membrane of the mitochondria, and hydrogen molecule (H2) and oxygen molecules (O2) induce ATP production while simultaneously activating the mitochondrial electron transport chain, thereby reliably activating mitochondria.

[0133] The gas-dissolved aqueous solution produced by the gas-dissolved aqueous solution production system 10 (gas-dissolved aqueous solution production method) has a gas composition particle size of 100 nm or less, and 500 million to 1 billion ultrafine bubbles of the gas composition are dissolved in 1 cc of the gas-dissolved aqueous solution. If the gas composition particle size exceeds 100 nm and the number of ultrafine bubbles of the gas composition dissolved in 1 cc of the gas-dissolved aqueous solution is less than 500 million, the gas composition in the gas-dissolved aqueous solution (hydrogen molecule The rate of increase of oxygen molecules in the gas composition becomes faster, and the gas composition does not remain in the gas-dissolved aqueous solution for a long time. molecule (H2) and oxygen molecules (O2) cannot be used for extended periods.

[0134] The gas-dissolved aqueous solution produced by the gas-dissolved aqueous solution production system 10 (gas-dissolved aqueous solution production method) contains 5 to 1 billion ultrafine bubbles of the gas composition of the aforementioned particle size dissolved in 1 cc of the gas-dissolved aqueous solution, therefore the gas composition (hydrogen) in the gas-dissolved aqueous solution is molecule The rate of increase of oxygen molecules is slow, and the gas composition remains in the gas-dissolved aqueous solution for a long time, and the hydrogen of that gas composition molecule (H2) and oxygen molecules (O2) can be used for extended periods.

[0135] The gas-dissolved aqueous solution production system 10 (gas-dissolved aqueous solution production method) uses an electrolysis device 12 to electrolyze pure water (water) to produce hydrogen. moleculeA gas composition formed from (H2) and oxygen molecules (O2) is generated, and the first and second ultrafine bubble generators 52 and 53 use the first chiller 13 to cool pure water to a predetermined temperature, and the hydrogen produced by the electrolysis device 12 is then used. molecule By dissolving (H2) (hydrogen gas) and oxygen molecules (O2) (oxygen gas) in the form of ultrafine bubbles, it is possible to produce a gas-dissolved aqueous solution containing a gas composition capable of inducing the activity of the electron transport system in the mitochondria of cells.
