[0001] TITLE OF THE INVENTION: Surface Modified Crystalline Blend to Improve the Properties of Water
[0002] DESCRIPTION
[0003] FIELD OF INVENTION
[0004]
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of water treatment and purification, specifically focusing on improving the properties of water by infusing it with minerals from a blend of crystals.
[0005] BACKGROUND
[0006]
[0002] In the recent years, global warming and climate change have intensified water scarcity, reducing access to clean and mineral -rich water sources worldwide. Rising temperatures, erratic rainfall patterns, and prolonged droughts have significantly impacted natural freshwater reservoirs, groundwater levels, and surface water sources such as rivers, lakes, and springs. This has forced many regions to extract water from alternative sources, including deep aquifers, seawater desalination plants, and recycled wastewater systems. To ensure water purity, deionization and reverse osmosis (RO) processes are widely used to remove contaminants, bacteria, and dissolved solids. However, these processes do not discriminate between harmful and beneficial minerals. While they effectively eliminate heavy metals, pesticides, and industrial pollutants, they also strip away essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, potassium, zinc, and silica, which are naturally present in water and crucial for human health. One of the primary reasons for using RO is to remove hardness caused by excessive calcium and magnesium. While this may prevent scaling in pipes and appliances, it leads to the production of soft water that is devoid of minerals. The absence of these essential minerals results in deprived water quality, often characterized by low Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) levels, which can be detrimental to long-term health.
[0007]
[0003] One of the most significant drawbacks of RO water is its extremely low Total Dissolved Solids (TDS), which eliminates not only harmful substances but also essential minerals necessary for human health. Furthermore, RO-treated water often has an acidic pH, typically falling below the body’s natural pH (~7.4), leading to digestive issues, increased acidity, and metabolic imbalances. The absence of buffering minerals in RO water results in poor digestive support, making it difficult for the body to maintain optimal hydration and nutrient absorption. Additionally, prolonged consumption of demineralized water has been linked to deficiencies in calcium, magnesium, and potassium, leading to bone loss, cardiovascular stress, and electrolyte imbalances.

[0008] US20050045565 provides a water treatment and recycling system to provide grey water and crystal-clear water to a stone processing system including crystal-clear water stone fabrication equipment requiring crystal clear water and grey water stone fabrication equipment capable of using grey water.
[0013]
[0009] Several existing technologies attempt to remineralize or enhance water quality but come with their own limitations. Some systems use electric -based ionization to artificially alkalize water, requiring external power sources and continuous energy consumption, making them neither sustainable nor cost-effective. Others rely on crystals or mineral fortification, but these approaches often lead to uncontrolled leaching of heavy metals such as lead, arsenic, or mercury, rendering the treated water unsafe. Moreover, many commercially available mineral additives are non-bioavailable, meaning the body cannot efficiently absorb or utilize them, negating any potential health benefits. Existing technologies fail to fully utilize the surface activity of crystalline minerals, resulting in inefficient interaction between the crystals and water. The inability to optimize surface activity leads to poor mineral release, reduced bioavailability, and ineffective enhancement of water properties.
[0014]
[0010] Given these limitations, there is an urgent need for an innovative water treatment system that effectively restores essential minerals, optimizes pH balance, improves bioavailability, and ensures long-term safety. The present invention provides an innovative crystalline blend that allows for optimized mineral infusion, structured water properties, and multiple health benefits within a single system. By ensuring synergistic interactions among the crystals, the invention enables effective hydration, pH balance, controlled mineral release, and antioxidant properties, addressing the shortcomings of existing technologies while maintaining optimal hydration, digestion, and cellular function.
[0015] SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
[0016] [Oi l] The present invention relates to a water treatment system designed to enhance the properties of water by using a unique blend of surface-modified minerals. The invention addresses the critical issue of mineral depletion in purified water, a consequence of modem filtration techniques such as reverse osmosis and deionization, which strip essential minerals from drinking water. The present invention provides an innovative and sustainable solution that restores and enhances the mineral content of water while also improving its structural properties, hydration efficiency, alkalinity, and antioxidant potential. The surface-modified crystalline blend consists of a combination of natural minerals comprising Tourmaline, Shungite, Jade, Silica, Zeolite, Lava Stones, and Calcareous Shale, each of which plays a specific role in improving water properties. To achieve optimal performance, the crystalline blend is subjected to a novel processing technique known as Bioactive Crystal Resonance Technology (BCRT) involves heating individual minerals below their phase transition temperature, allowing for their activation while maintaining their solid-state crystalline structure. The water treatment system incorporates a perforated membrane that houses the crystalline blend. This membrane is designed to facilitate the interaction between water and the modified minerals, allowing the absorption of essential nutrients while filtering out impurities. The system does not require any external power source, making it an energy-efficient and cost- effective solution for water purification and enhancement. The present invention influences the structural properties of water, leading to improved hydration, detoxification, and nutrient absorption. The crystalline blend provides personalized formulated to cater to different applications and preferences. A blend consisting of Calcareous Shale, Maifan, and Jade can be designed for gentle mineral release, while a heat-treated combination of Shungite, Lava Stones, Jade, and Dolomite can be used for enhanced mineral infusion and negative ion generation. Thus, surface-modified crystalline blend can be tailored to provide specific health benefits, such as antioxidant enrichment, detoxification support, or digestive enhancement.
[0017]
[0012] In one embodiment, the present invention provides a water treatment system comprising a surface-modified crystalline blend and a perforated membrane, designed to enhance the quality and properties of treated water. The crystalline blend includes tourmaline in the range of 5% to 20%, jade in the range of 10% to 30%, silica in the range of 1% to 20%, shungite in the range of 15% to 45%, zeolite in the range of 1% to 20%, lava stone in the range of 5% to 30%, calcareous shale in the range of 15% to 50%, dolomite in the range of 10% to 20%, Maifan in the range of 10% to 30%, magnesium at 5%, and zinc at 5%. The surface- modified crystalline blend possesses irregular geometries ranging from 0.5 to 5 millimeter, which optimizes the interaction between the water and the mineral components, ensuring effective treatment and enhancement of its properties. The presence of minerals such as dolomite, Maifan, and calcareous shale contributes to maintaining an alkaline pH, while the inclusion of magnesium and zinc further enhances the nutritional value of the water, providing essential trace elements that play a crucial role in physiological functions. The perforated membrane within the system facilitates the efficient flow and filtration of water while allowing optimal mineral infusion.
[0018]
[0013] In one embodiment, the present invention provides a method for producing a surface- modified crystalline blend designed to enhance water quality and treatment efficiency. The method begins with pre-cleaning and washing the crystals using a controlled water flow to remove any surface contaminants, impurities, and dust particles. This step ensures the purity of the raw materials before further processing. Following the cleaning process, the crystals are cut to a specific size ranging from 0.5 to 5 millimeters, optimizing their surface area for interaction with water. The uniformity in crystal size allows for consistent performance in water treatment applications and facilitates efficient blending in subsequent steps. Next, the cut crystals undergo pre-treatment with an organic-based cleanser composed of natural ingredients that aid in further purification while preserving the integrity of the minerals. This cleanser may include lime water, acetic acid, or other herbal extracts, which contribute to the removal of residual contaminants without introducing harmful chemicals. After pre-treatment, the crystals are sun-dried separately to eliminate excess moisture and prepare them for the heat modulation stage. The drying process harnesses natural energy to ensure gradual evaporation, preventing structural damage to the minerals. Heat modulation is then performed at controlled temperatures below 1500°C, with specific temperature limits set for different minerals to preserve their structural integrity and functional properties. Tourmaline is heated below 1050°C, jade below 1040°C, zeolite below 500°C, and lava stone below 1200°C. This controlled heating process activates the minerals, enhancing their ability to release beneficial ions and interact with water effectively. Once heat modulation is complete, the treated crystals are blended in precise proportions, forming a unique composition that enhances water quality. The crystalline blend consists of tourmaline (5-20%), jade (10-30%), silica (1-20%), shungite (15-45%), zeolite (1-20%), lava stone (5-30%), calcareous shale (15-50%), dolomite (10-20%), Maifan (10-30%), magnesium (5%), and zinc (5%). Each mineral contributes specific properties to the blend, such as alkalization, ion exchange, adsorption, and trace mineral enrichment. Finally, the blended crystals are placed into a porous membrane, ensuring optimal contact with water during treatment. The porous membrane allows water to flow through while enabling the gradual release of beneficial minerals and ions into the treated water.
[0019]
[0014] In one embodiment, the present invention provides treated water incorporating a composition of minerals, including tourmaline, shungite, jade, silica, zeolite, lava stones, and calcareous shale. The mineral composition may vary, with tourmaline comprising between 5% to 80%, jade from l% to 70%, silica from 2% to 60%, shungite from 5% to 35%, zeolite from 2% to 70%, lava stones from l% to 20%, and calcareous shale from 2% to 45%. Additionally, the treated water may include Maifan, calcite, and dolomite to enhance its properties. The invention further comprises a water treatment system that includes a combination of crystals enclosed within a perforated membrane, maintaining a mineral composition similar to that described above. The crystalline blend used in the system features irregular geometries ranging from 0.5 to 5 millimeters, with optional inclusion of black jade and black silica, where black jade may constitute 1% to 30% and black silica 2% to 60% of the blend. The water treatment system enhances water quality by integrating Maifan to promote beneficial bacteria growth and incorporating calcite and dolomite to improve alkalinity, neutralize acidity, and maintain an optimal pH balance.
[0015] In one embodiment, the treated water shows a far infrared rays (FIR) effect to restructure water molecules, reducing their clustering and enhancing hydration. FIR exposure penetrates water at the molecular level, energizing the molecules and increasing their bioavailability for improved absorption by cells. This restructuring process enhances the ability of water to hydrate tissues, making it more effective in delivering nutrients to cells and flushing out toxins. By breaking down larger water molecule clusters into smaller, more easily absorbed units, the FIR treatment improves hydration efficiency. Furthermore, the invention enhances the natural mineral content in drinking water by incorporating essential minerals The invention also ensures an optimal level of total dissolved solids (TDS), beneficial for human consumption.
[0020]
[0016] In one embodiment, the present invention increases the alkalinity of water to provide buffering action against acidity, ensuring that the pH remains stable by neutralizing acids in the body. Alkaline water contains naturally occurring bicarbonates and minerals that counteract acidic waste buildup, thus reducing the risk of acid-related conditions such as acid reflux and metabolic acidosis. By maintaining an optimal acid-base balance, the invention supports better digestion, gut health, and overall metabolic efficiency. The alkaline nature of the water also enhances the effectiveness of digestive enzymes, ensuring that food is broken down properly for optimal nutrient absorption. Furthermore, the invention improves water absorption and nutrient uptake by restructuring the water into smaller molecular clusters, which allows cells to absorb water more efficiently. This micro-clustered water penetrates cell membranes more effectively, ensuring faster hydration, improved mineral delivery, and the efficient removal of toxins and metabolic waste products, which is essential for maintaining cellular function and overall health.
[0021]
[0017] In one embodiment, the present invention enhances the mineral profile of drinking water to provide comprehensive support for bone health, muscle function, and enzymatic activity. The invention also increases the presence of negative ions and anions in drinking water, which have been shown to improve biochemical reactions and promote overall wellbeing. Negative ions help neutralize free radicals in the body, reducing oxidative stress and slowing the aging process. They also improve oxygenation in the bloodstream, boosting metabolism and enhancing cognitive function. Furthermore, the micro-clustering of water molecules facilitates better hydration and fat emulsification. By breaking down large water clusters into smaller molecular groups, the invention ensures that water penetrates cells more efficiently, enhancing metabolic activity, supporting weight management by improving fat breakdown, and promoting detoxification through more effective elimination of waste products.
[0022]
[0018] In one embodiment, the present invention enhances the ability of water to extract essential oils and bioactive compounds from herbs and spices by modifying the molecular structure of water. By reducing the size of molecular clusters, the invention allows water to act as a more efficient solvent, improving the extraction of antioxidants, flavonoids, and other beneficial phytochemicals from herbal teas, infusions, and medicinal plants increasing the bioavailability of key compounds. Additionally, the invention incorporates molecular hydrogen (H2), a highly potent antioxidant known for its ability to neutralize harmful free radicals. Hydrogen-enriched water has been shown to reduce oxidative stress, support cellular rejuvenation, and provide potential anti-cancer benefits by reducing inflammation and preventing abnormal cell growth. The hydrogen molecules in the water may also protect DNA and mitochondria from oxidative damage, promoting long-term cellular health.
[0023]
[0019] In one embodiment, the present invention imparts anti -microbial properties to water by incorporating naturally occurring hydrogen molecules, anions, zinc, magnesium and minerals that actively inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria and viruses. By eliminating pathogenic microorganisms, the invention reduces the risk of waterborne diseases and enhances overall drinking water safety. The anti -microbial action also supports gut health by reducing harmful bacterial overgrowth while preserving beneficial gut microbiota. Additionally, the invention enhances the antioxidant potential of water by providing a negative oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), signifying its ability to donate electrons and neutralize oxidative damage. Water with a negative ORP slows down the aging process, protects cells from oxidative stress, and boosts immune function by reducing free radical-induced cellular damage.

[0028] The present invention discloses the surface -modified crystalline blend of minerals within a controlled environment, allowing for optimized interaction with water molecules. The system employs an ion exchange membrane, a perforated membrane, or a thin porous material, which serves as a housing unit for the unique crystalline composition. This structural design facilitates controlled mineral release, water restructuring, and enhancement of bioavailability, ultimately improving hydration, detoxification, and nutrient absorption when consumed. The core function of this system relies on the resonant interactions between the embedded crystals and water molecules. These interactions occur at a microscopic level, influencing the molecular structure, charge distribution, and hydration capacity of water. The system is based on the principle that specific crystalline materials, when exposed to water, can induce subtle vibrational frequencies that align with biological energy pathways. Modifying the clustering of water molecules enables faster cellular uptake, improved enzymatic activity, and enhanced transport of nutrients and minerals into the body’s cells.
[0040]
[0029] In one embodiment, the present invention introduces a surface-modified crystalline blend that significantly enhances the properties of water by improving its mineral content, alkalinity, and molecular structure and incorporates a perforated membrane that houses the crystalline blend, allowing continuous interaction between water and the mineral crystals without requiring any external power source. This passive water enhancement system is designed to facilitate optimal water flow, ensuring that the treated water absorbs essential minerals, increases alkalinity, and improves hydration efficiency. The porous structure of the membrane enables a controlled release of minerals, preventing excessive mineralization or undesirable fluctuations in pH and total dissolved solids (TDS) levels. By allowing direct contact between the minerals and the flowing water, the system ensures consistent and long- lasting water enhancement without requiring frequent maintenance or chemical additives. One of the most significant advantages of this sustainable water treatment system is its ability to function passively, eliminating the need for electricity, chemical intervention, or artificial remineralization agents. This makes it an eco-friendly and cost-effective solution suitable for a wide range of applications. The system is highly adaptable and can be seamlessly integrated into household water filters, portable water bottles, and even large-scale municipal treatment plants, making it a scalable solution for diverse water purification needs. Whether for personal use, community-wide water supply, or industrial applications, the system ensures consistent water quality enhancement through natural mineral infusion. The surface-modified crystalline blend comprises Tourmaline is present in the range of 5% to 80%, Jade ranges from 1% to 70%, Silica ranges from 2% to 60%, Shungite is found in the range of 5% to 35%, Zeolite ranges from 2% to 70%, Lava Stones vary from 1% to 20%, and Calcareous Shale is present in the range of 2% to 45% along with Maifan, Dolomite, magnesium and zinc.
[0041]
[0030] Tourmaline is a complex boron silicate mineral that occurs in a variety of colors and compositions, each with unique properties that contribute to water enhancement. It is renowned for its piezoelectric and pyroelectric properties, meaning it can generate a small electrical charge when subjected to pressure or temperature changes. Tourmaline exists in different varieties, including black tourmaline (Schorl), pink tourmaline (Rubellite), green tourmaline, blue tourmaline (Indicolite), and watermelon tourmaline, each with unique mineral compositions. Black tourmaline is rich in iron and is commonly used in water purification due to its strong detoxifying abilities. Pink tourmaline, high in manganese, adds a gentle mineral balance to water, while green tourmaline contains elements like iron, vanadium, and chromium, which aid in oxygenation and detoxification. Blue tourmaline is rarer and enhances energetic properties of water, making it more effective in hydration. Watermelon tourmaline, a mix of pink and green, provides a balanced mineral profile and subtle bioenergetic properties.
[0042]
[0031] Jade is a highly valued silicate mineral composed mainly of either nephrite or jadeite, both of which contribute to water enhancement by enriching it with essential minerals. Nephrite jade is calcium and magnesium-rich, whereas jadeite is an aluminum-rich silicate, and both forms are prized for their energetic and structural properties. Jade occurs in various colors, including green, white, and black, each offering different benefits to water treatment. Green jade, the most commonly used variety, contains calcium, magnesium, and trace elements like iron, which contribute to bone health, muscle function, and metabolic efficiency. Black jade has a higher iron content, making it effective in detoxification processes when infused in water. White jade is used primarily for water structuring, helping to create a more balanced molecular arrangement for easier absorption by the body.
[0043]
[0032] Silica, also known as silicon dioxide ( Si Oa). is found in various forms, including quartz, opal, and diatomaceous earth, each of which contributes to different aspects of water enhancement. Quartz, the most common crystalline form of silica, is known for its piezoelectric properties, which help organize water molecules into more stable and absorbable structures. Opal, a hydrated form of silica, contributes to improved hydration capacity in water. Diatomaceous earth, a porous form of silica, is used for filtration and purification as it can trap toxins and impurities at a microscopic level.
[0044]
[0033] Shungite is a rare carbon-based mineral found primarily in Russia, known for its high carbon content and unique molecular structure. It contains fullerenes, a special form of carbon with powerful antioxidant properties that can neutralize free radicals and improve water quality. Shungite is divided into elite shungite (98% carbon) and regular shungite (30-60% carbon), both of which are effective in water purification and detoxification. Elite shungite is the purest form and is primarily used for direct water enhancement, while regular shungite is often incorporated into filtration systems. Shungite is highly effective in removing toxins, heavy metals, bacteria, and organic pollutants from water. It works as a natural filter, absorbing contaminants while simultaneously releasing bioavailable minerals into the water.
[0045]
[0034] Zeolite is a highly porous aluminosilicate mineral that acts as a molecular sieve, making it an excellent natural water filter. The most commonly used form in water treatment is clinoptilolite zeolite, known for its high cation-exchange capacity and ability to trap toxins and heavy metals. Zeolite’s microporous structure allows it to adsorb and remove lead, arsenic, and radioactive elements from water, effectively detoxifying it.
[0046]
[0035] Lava stone, primarily composed of basaltic rock, is rich in minerals like iron, magnesium, and calcium, making it an excellent material for enhancing the mineral profile of drinking water. When water passes through lava stones, it absorbs trace elements, which contribute to improved hydration, metabolic function, and overall mineral balance.
[0047]
[0036] Calcareous Shale plays a vital role in alkalinity maintenance, providing essential calcium and magnesium to support bone health and muscle function. Maifan is known for its slow -release mineral profile, ensuring that water remains enriched with trace elements over an extended period without sudden fluctuations in composition. Jade enhances the bioenergetic properties of water, making it more hydrating and bioavailable for improved cellular absorption.
[0048]
[0037] Figure 1 illustrates the process of preparing the surface-modified crystalline blend, which involves several sequential steps. Initially, the crystals undergo pre-cleaning and washing (101), where they are cleaned using water flow to remove impurities. Next, they are cut to a size of 0.5-5 mm (102) to optimize their surface area for subsequent treatments. The cleaning treatment and washing with an organic -based cleanser (103) follows, ensuring the removal of any harmful residues. Afterward, the crystals are sun-dried separately (104) to enhance their natural properties. Subsequently, they undergo heat modulation below 1500°C (105), where each crystal is heated individually to retain its crystalline state and optimize its properties. Once heated, they are blended in personalized combinations (106) to form a customized crystalline blend. Finally, the surface -modified crystalline blend is placed in the desired setup (107) for use in water treatment systems.
[0049]
[0038] Pre-cleaning and washing (101) is a critical and foundational step in the preparation of crystals, designed to eliminate any surface impurities or contaminants that may have adhered to the crystals during their extraction, transportation, or storage. These impurities can range from dirt, dust, and mineral deposits to oils or other residues that may have come into contact with the crystals. The presence of such contaminants can not only detract from the crystal's aesthetic appeal but also interfere with its natural energetic properties or functional performance. Pre-cleaning (101) ensures that the crystals are in their most pristine state, free from any external substances that could compromise their quality. This step often involves gentle brushing, rinsing with water, or the use of mild cleaning agents to dislodge and remove impurities without causing damage to the crystal's structure. The thoroughness of this process is vital, as any remaining impurities could affect the crystal's effectiveness in its intended application, whether it be for industrial, therapeutic, or spiritual purposes. Following precleaning, the crystals undergo a precise cutting process (102), where they are shaped into specific sizes, typically ranging from 0.5 mm to 5 mm. This step is meticulously executed to maximize the surface area of the crystals, which is a key factor in enhancing their functionality. A larger surface area allows for greater interaction with external elements, such as light, energy, or other materials, making the crystals more effective in their intended use. For example, in industrial applications, increased surface area can improve catalytic efficiency, while in therapeutic settings, it can enhance the crystal's ability to interact with the body's energy fields. The cutting process (102) requires a high degree of precision and expertise, as the crystals must be shaped uniformly to ensure consistency in performance and quality. The process of precisely sizing crystals and shaping them into irregular forms is fundamental to maximizing their surface area, which plays a critical role in enhancing their interaction with water. By increasing the available surface area, the efficiency of infusion is significantly improved, ensuring the optimal dissolution of essential minerals into the surrounding liquid.
[0050]
[0039] Each crystal's unique surface properties are carefully analyzed before undergoing a mechanical cutting process, ensuring that their dimensions fall within the optimal range of 0.5 to 5 millimeters. This tailored approach allows for fine-tuning the properties of the infused water, enabling specific adjustments based on individual requirements. By modifying infusion parameters such as duration, temperature, and flow rate, it becomes possible to control critical water characteristics, including pH levels, oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), and mineral content. This degree of customization ensures that the infused water can be adapted to suit personal health needs, addressing potential bio-energetic imbalances and promoting overall well-being. Once the crystals have been cut, they are subjected to a thorough cleaning and washing process (103) to remove any residues that may have accumulated during the cutting phase. These residues can include fine particles, oils, or other contaminants introduced by the cutting tools or handling process. Organic or plant-based cleansers are often chosen for this purpose due to their gentle yet effective cleaning properties. These cleansers are not only safe for the crystals but also environmentally sustainable, aligning with eco-friendly practices. The washing process ensures that the crystals are free from any substances that could cause harmful reactions or diminish their natural energy. The residues left on the crystals could interfere with their vibrational frequencies or lead to unwanted chemical interactions in industrial applications. By using organic cleansers, the process maintains the purity of the crystals while minimizing environmental impact. After washing, the crystals are carefully dried, typically using natural sunlight, to enhance their inherent properties (104). Sunlight is believed to have a revitalizing effect on crystals, recharging their energy and amplifying their natural vibrations. This method of drying is not only cost-effective but also aligns with holistic and spiritual practices that emphasize the importance of natural elements in maintaining the integrity of crystals. The drying process must be carefully monitored to ensure that the crystals are not exposed to excessive heat or prolonged sunlight, which could cause thermal stress, cracking, or fading of color. Proper drying ensures that the crystals retain their structural integrity and energetic potency. Once dried, the crystals are in their optimal state, having been purified, shaped, cleansed, and revitalized through a series of carefully controlled processes.
[0040] The Bioactive Crystal Resonance Technology (BCRT) is an advanced and meticulously controlled thermal activation process specifically designed to enhance the performance of natural crystalline minerals used in water treatment applications while preserving their solid- state integrity. This innovative method is crucial for optimizing the release of beneficial minerals, improving their structural properties, and preventing undesirable chemical transformations that could compromise water quality. The primary goal of BCRT is to activate the minerals at a molecular level without disrupting their fundamental crystalline structure, ensuring they retain their natural stability and functional efficacy. By carefully modulating heat and temperature, BCRT achieves a delicate balance between activating the minerals for enhanced performance and maintaining their inherent properties, making it a highly effective and sustainable approach to water treatment. The BCRT process involves heating each mineral (105) individually at temperatures below their respective melting points to initiate beneficial phase transformations while preserving their solid-state crystalline form. This controlled heating (105) is essential for activating the minerals in a way that enhances their ion exchange capabilities, increases their bioavailability, and improves their interactions with water molecules. If the minerals were heated beyond their critical transformation temperatures, they could undergo structural breakdown, mineral leaching, or compositional degradation, rendering them ineffective for water enhancement. By carefully regulating the temperature for each mineral — ensuring it remains below 1500°C — the BCRT process achieves optimal activation without compromising the minerals' structural integrity or functional properties. This precision ensures that the minerals remain stable and effective in their intended applications.

[0041] Tourmaline is heated below 1050°C to activate its piezoelectric and pyroelectric properties, which enhance its ability to generate negative ions without altering its boron silicate composition improving its capacity to reduce water surface tension. Similarly, jade is heated below 1040°C to stimulate its structural rearrangement without affecting its calcium, magnesium, and iron content. This controlled heating enhances jade’s bioenergetic capacity, enabling it to interact effectively with water molecules and contribute to mineral stabilization in the treated water. Zeolite, on the other hand, is heated below 500°C to enhance its cationexchange capabilities while preserving its microporous structure, which is essential for absorbing toxins, heavy metals, and impurities. If heated beyond this temperature, zeolite could lose its porous integrity, diminishing its effectiveness in water detoxification. Lava stone is heated below 1200°C to activate its mineral -releasing properties, particularly for magnesium, iron, and calcium, without causing excessive leaching. This ensures a gradual and sustained release of trace elements, improving water’s mineral balance and alkalinity without sudden spikes in total dissolved solids (TDS) or pH levels. Finally, the prepared crystals are blended in specific proportions (106) which can be personalized based on the adjustment of the desired properties of the treated water. The blended crystals are finally stored inside the perforated membrane (107), which can be put in the container for its use.
[0052]
[0042] One of the most significant advantages of BCRT is its ability to prevent excessive mineral release, which could otherwise lead to undesirable increases in pH and TDS levels. Without controlled activation, certain minerals, such as calcareous shale, dolomite, or tourmaline, could dissolve rapidly in water, causing the pH to rise above 9.5. This would not only alter the water’s taste, making it bitter and unpalatable but also reduce its overall quality. Another critical benefit of BCRT is its ability to minimize heavy metal leaching, a common concern when using natural minerals in water treatment. Many naturally occurring minerals contain trace amounts of heavy metals, such as lead, arsenic, and mercury, which could potentially leach into water if not properly treated. The controlled heating process in BCRT either prevents these heavy metals from leaching or limits their concentration to levels far below the permissible drinking water limits.
[0053]
[0043] Given below is Table 1 shows the contrast between the properties of RO water and different types of crystalline blends showing the differences between the outcome of the water properties upon using the size of the crystalline blend and the effect of the size, effect of the cleaning, heat treatment, the utilization of the BCRT and the long-term efficacy of the treated water by the surface modified crystalline blend.
[0044] The Bioactive Crystal Resonance Technology (BCRT) technology, as illustrated in Table 1, highlights the substantial impact of particle size on the pH and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) values of water treated with crystalline blends. This finding represents a critical distinction from prior art, emphasizing the importance of precise control over particle size to achieve desired water quality outcomes. For instance, untreated crystalline blends with particle sizes above 6 mm result in a pH of 5.4 and a TDS of 46, indicating relatively low mineral release and limited alkalinity. In contrast, untreated crystalline blends with particle sizes between 0.5-5 mm demonstrate a higher pH of 6.1 and an increased TDS of 104, reflecting greater mineral dissolution and enhanced water alkalinity. This significant variation in water properties underscores the pivotal role of particle size in influencing the interaction between the crystalline blend and water. Smaller particle sizes, within the 0.5-5 mm range, maximize the surface area available for mineral release and interaction, leading to improved pH and TDS levels. These findings demonstrate that controlling particle size is essential for tailoring water quality to specific requirements, ensuring optimal performance of the crystalline blend in water treatment applications. By leveraging this understanding, the BCRT technology enables precise customization of water properties, offering a significant advancement over traditional methods.
[0045] Heat treatment of crystals (105) plays a crucial role in enhancing water quality, as demonstrated in Table 1 of the present invention. When crystalline blends undergo heat treatment, particularly in the uncleaned form and within a size range of 0.5-5 mm, they exhibit a significant improvement in water properties, with the pH increasing to 7.3 and the total dissolved solids (TDS) reaching 202. In contrast, untreated crystalline blends show a lower pH of 6.1 and a TDS of only 104, indicating a weaker mineral infusion and reduced water structuring capabilities.
[0054]
[0046] As demonstrated in Table 1, the cleaning of heat-treated crystals plays a crucial role in further enhancing water properties, highlighting the significance of this step in the overall process. For example, the heat-treated crystalline blend (cleaned) with particle sizes between 0.5-5 mm achieves a pH of 8.1 and a TDS of 336, representing a notable improvement compared to the uncleaned heat-treated crystals, which had a pH of 7.3 and a TDS of 202. This substantial increase in both pH and TDS values underscores the importance of the cleaning step in optimizing the performance of the crystalline blend. Cleaning removes residual impurities and contaminants that may hinder the crystals' ability to interact effectively with water, thereby maximizing their mineral release and bioactive properties. The higher pH and TDS levels observed in the cleaned crystals indicate a more alkaline and mineral-rich water profile, which is often associated with improved taste and potential health benefits.
[0047] Table 1 provides the long-term stability and sustained efficacy of water treated with the heat-treated crystalline blend (cleaned) in the 0.5-5 mm size range. The data reveals that the treated water maintains and even enhances its beneficial properties over an extended period. Initially, after 24 hours, the treated water exhibits a pH of 8. 1 and a TDS of 336, indicating a significant improvement in alkalinity and mineral content compared to untreated water. Over a 30-day period, the pH increases to 8.4, and the TDS rises to 384, demonstrating continued mineral release and stabilization. After 90 days, the pH further improves to 8.6, and the TDS increases to 418, showcasing the blend's ability to sustain and enhance water quality over time. Remarkably, after 180 days, the pH reaches 8.9, and the TDS climbs to 466, underscoring the long-lasting effectiveness of the treated crystalline blend. These results clearly indicate that the benefits of the treated water — particularly its alkalinity and mineral content — are not only immediate but also persist and improve over an extended period.
[0055]
[0048] Figure 2 illustrates the effect of the treated water on surface tension reduction, as evidenced by its interaction with oil. The left container, containing the treated water, demonstrates a uniform dispersion of oil droplets throughout the liquid, indicating effective emulsification. This behavior is attributed to the reduced surface tension of the treated water, allowing enhanced interaction with hydrophobic substances. In contrast, the right container, containing untreated reverse osmosis (RO) water, shows the oil remaining separate and floating on the surface due to the higher surface tension, which prevents effective mixing and emulsification. The reduction in surface tension in the treated water significantly influences its ability to alter interfacial interactions with oils and other nonpolar substances. This property facilitates the formation of stable emulsions, where oil droplets are broken down into smaller, evenly distributed particles within the aqueous medium. The ability of the treated water to lower interfacial tension is particularly advantageous in applications requiring efficient removal of hydrophobic substances, such as in cleaning formulations, industrial degreasing, and enhanced bioavailability in aqueous-based formulations.
[0056]
[0049] Figure 3 illustrates the presence of molecular hydrogen in the treated water, as indicated by the FL meter reading in the left container. The significant detection of molecular hydrogen highlights the transformative effect of the treatment process, which enhances the water’ s ability to act as a potential antioxidant. Reduced water, including naturally reduced water, has been scientifically demonstrated to effectively scavenge reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cultured cells, thereby contributing to the mitigation of oxidative stress. The ability to neutralize ROS is a crucial factor in preventing cellular damage and reducing the risk of chronic and degenerative diseases associated with oxidative stress. In contrast, the right container, containing untreated reverse osmosis (RO) water, exhibits no detectable levels of molecular hydrogen, as evidenced by the zero reading on the H2 meter. This comparative analysis underscores the superiority of the treated water in delivering molecular hydrogen, thereby enhancing its functional properties for potential therapeutic and health-promoting applications. The present invention leverages this capability to produce hydrogen-enriched water, offering improved antioxidant potential and broader applicability in health, wellness, and medical formulations.
[0057]
[0050] Figure 4 illustrates the effect of the treated water on the extraction efficiency of essential oils, as demonstrated by the interaction with cumin seeds. The left container, containing the treated water, exhibits a yellow hue within a minute, indicating the rapid release of essential oils from the cumin seeds. This phenomenon is attributed to microclustering, where the water molecules form smaller, more cohesive clusters, enhancing their ability to penetrate biological materials and facilitate the extraction of hydrophilic and hydrophobic compounds. The increased molecular interaction in the treated water enables the efficient release of essential oils, resulting in a visibly altered coloration. In contrast, the right container, containing untreated reverse osmosis (RO) water, shows no perceptible change in color, indicating an absence of significant essential oil extraction.

[0051] In one embodiment the present invention provides a highly controlled infusion process allowing for the fine-tuning of infusion conditions, ensuring that water can be tailored to meet individual hydration needs and specific bioenergetic profiles. By modifying key variables such as temperature, duration, and flow rate, the process can be adjusted to optimize cellular energy activation, enhance mineral absorption, and support overall physiological balance. The ability to personalize the infusion process ensures that diverse hydration requirements are met, making it particularly useful for individuals with varying metabolic demands, health conditions, or specific wellness goals. A key aspect of this process is the unique cleaning and treatment protocol applied to the crystals before infusion. Impurities are meticulously removed through a specialized cleansing method that ensures the crystals remain free from contaminants that could interfere with their natural properties. Additionally, specific heating techniques are employed to induce structural modifications in certain crystals. These controlled thermal treatments may alter the internal lattice structure, enhancing the effective surface area and improving the crystal’s ability to interact with water.
[0059]
[0052] In an alternate embodiment, the crystalline blend is securely enclosed within a perforated membrane specifically designed to regulate the interaction between water and the mineral composition. This membrane plays a crucial role in ensuring that water flows freely through the crystalline blend while maximizing contact with the mineral surfaces. The perforations are strategically sized to allow for controlled diffusion, ensuring that the minerals interact efficiently with the water without causing excessive leaching or loss of essential compounds. This design facilitates a balanced and sustained infusion process, allowing for the gradual release of beneficial minerals into the water, rather than an uncontrolled or rapid depletion of the crystalline blend’s properties. By carefully managing the exposure of water to the mineral blend, this controlled system optimizes mineral infusion while maintaining the integrity of the infused water’s composition. The gradual release of minerals ensures that the water absorbs essential elements such as calcium, magnesium, and trace minerals at an optimal rate, preventing oversaturation or imbalances that could affect its intended benefits.
[0060]
[0053] In an alternate embodiment, the present invention enhances the crystal composition by incorporating Maifan, Calcite, and Dolomite, which contribute to the overall mineral content and improve the water treatment system's ability to influence cellular energy pathways. In this embodiment, the crystal composition includes lava stones in a range of 1% to 20% and calcareous shale in a range of 2% to 45%. These crystals are intentionally provided in irregular geometries, with dimensions ranging from 0.5 to 5 millimeters, and in some instances, specifically emphasizing a range of 1 to 3 millimeters. This deliberate choice of irregular geometries enhances resonant interactions with water molecules, thereby optimizing the system's efficacy. The water treatment system is designed to produce water with improved properties by infusing minerals derived from a diverse array of crystals, including but not limited to Tourmaline, Shungite, Jade, Silica, Zeolite, Lava Stones, and Calcareous Shale.

The mineral infusion process results in the sustained release of essential trace elements and beneficial properties into the water, thereby optimizing its physicochemical characteristics and potential health benefits. The treated water may further comprise additional minerals such as Maifan, Calcite, and Dolomite.
[0062]
[0055] In one embodiment, the present invention relates to treated water by BCRT designed to maintain enhanced physicochemical and bioenergetic properties over an extended period. Water retained in a container with the treated crystalline blend for up to three months continues to exhibit a high negative oxidation-reduction potential (ORP), a significant presence of molecular hydrogen, and a stable total dissolved solids (TDS) concentration ranging from approximately 330 to 500 ppm. The treated water retains high alkalinity, with a pH exceeding 8, reduced surface tension, and an increased concentration of anions and other negatively charged ions. Additionally, the treated water demonstrates far-infrared ray (FIR) effects, which may contribute to improved molecular structuring and potential bioenergetic interactions. Furthermore, the treatment process induces micro-clustering within the infused water, wherein the water molecules form smaller, more cohesive clusters. This phenomenon is believed to enhance localized bioenergetic interactions, potentially optimizing hydration efficiency and cellular absorption. The unique crystalline structures within the treatment system exhibit resonant interactions with water molecules, which may influence cellular energy pathways upon consumption. This optimized structuring enhances the functional properties of the treated water, making it particularly beneficial for improved hydration, bioavailability, and metabolic processes.
[0063]
[0056] In some embodiments the crystalline blend may further incorporate essential minerals such as zinc (Zn), magnesium (Mg), or a combination thereof, thereby enriching the infused water with additional trace elements known for their physiological benefits.
[0064]
[0057] In an alternate embodiment, the crystals are precisely cut within a range of 1 to 3 millimeters to enhance their insulin-releasing capability. This targeted approach has been extensively studied, revealing that appropriately sized tourmaline particles can play a supportive role in managing diabetes mellitus by influencing metabolic activity. Through multiple iterations of testing, the ideal size range maximizes the crystal’s therapeutic potential. The scientific precision behind this process ensures that each crystal type is optimally prepared to deliver its intended health benefits, making mineral-infused water a highly adaptable and scientifically validated wellness solution.
[0065]
[0058] In a specific embodiment, the present invention comprises Black tourmaline, black jade, and green jade, which are naturally occurring, non-toxic, and biocompatible, making them safe for water treatment while offering numerous health and hydration benefits. Black tourmaline is a complex boron silicate mineral with high concentrations of iron, magnesium, and aluminum, making it an ideal mineral for water purification and structuring. It is known for its piezoelectric and pyroelectric properties, meaning that when exposed to heat, pressure, or water flow, it generates a mild electrical charge that releases negative ions. The black tourmaline is naturally stable and does not dissolve or leach harmful substances; it is safe for long-term use in water treatment. Black jade, a variety of nephrite jade, is primarily composed of calcium, magnesium, iron, and silicon dioxide, making it an excellent mineral for water remineralization and detoxification. Its high iron content gives it a dark black appearance and contributes to its strong adsorption properties, allowing it to bind and remove heavy metals, toxins, and impurities from water. Additionally, black jade has a high-density crystalline structure, making it durable and chemically stable in water treatment applications. Green jade, another important variety of nephrite or jadeite jade, contains calcium, magnesium, and trace elements such as iron and silica, making it highly beneficial for water enhancement and bioenergetic structuring. Green jade is known for its natural ionization properties, helping to energize water molecules and improve their bioavailability and remains safe for long-term use in water treatment systems, making it a sustainable and reliable choice for improving water quality.

In another exemplary implementation, the water demonstrates a high reactivity with active ingredients present in Foeniculum vulgare (fennel seeds), including trans-anethole (31.49%), 2-pentanone (25.01%), and fenchone (11.68%). The water rapidly absorbs these active ingredients without requiring heat treatment or extended soaking, highlighting its superior extraction capabilities and efficiency. This embodiment underscores the enhanced functional properties of the water produced by the invention.
[0068]
[0061] In many embodiments, the present invention provides water that exhibits a high reactivity with active ingredients. In an exemplary implementation, the water instantly reacts with active ingredients such as curcumin in turmeric, causing the water to turn orange, whereas normal water turns yellow under the same conditions. In another exemplary implementation, the water demonstrates a high reactivity with active ingredients found in Cuminum cyminum (cumin) seeds, such as Cuminaldehyde and Thymoquinone, causing the water to instantly turn yellow. Unlike normal water, which requires heating to react with Cuminaldehyde and Thymoquinone, the water of the present invention extracts these enzymes instantly without the need for external heat treatment, thereby offering enhanced benefits and efficiency. This unique reactivity highlights the superior properties of the water produced by the invention.

[0089]
[0068] Example 6:
[0090] Procedure: The process begins with the pre-cleaning and washing of the crystals using a water flow system to remove surface impurities and contaminants. Following this, the crystals are precisely cut to sizes ranging from 0.5 to 5 mm. The cut crystals are then treated with an organic-based cleanser. After cleaning, the crystals are sun-dried and prepared for the subsequent heat treatment. The heat modulation process involves individually heating the crystals below 1500°C, with tourmaline heated below 1050°C to activate its piezoelectric and pyroelectric properties, jade below 1040°C to enhance its bioenergetic capacity, zeolite below 500°C to preserve its microporous structure and cation-exchange capabilities, and lava stone below 1200°C to optimize its mineral-releasing properties.
