Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for extracting humic and fulvic acids for human consumption involve chemical processes that include carcinogenic chemicals, making them unsuitable for human use, and introduce residual chemicals in water that can lead to harmful reactions.
Innovation Solution
A method involving the use of humate sources, such as humus soil, composted plants, and ocean water, with a series of filtration, sterilization, and pH adjustment processes to extract and separate humic and fulvic acids without the use of harmful chemicals, utilizing digital control systems for automation and ensuring the acids are safe for human consumption in beverages and other products.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If chemical extraction processes are used to extract humic and fulvic acids, then extraction efficiency is improved, but carcinogenic chemicals and harmful residues are introduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts only the beneficial humic and fulvic acids from humate sources while deliberately excluding harmful chemicals from the extraction process. Multiple filtration stages remove unwanted chemical residues, achieving extraction of target compounds without introducing carcinogenic substances.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the extraction parameters by using pH adjustment and temperature control instead of harsh chemical reagents. By optimizing extraction conditions through parameter modification rather than chemical addition, the process maintains efficiency while eliminating harmful residues.
2Reliability
If multiple filtration and purification stages are added to remove harmful chemicals, then safety for human consumption is improved, but process complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the purification process into distinct sequential stages: initial filtration, activated carbon filtration, and final polishing filtration. Each stage targets specific contaminants, achieving comprehensive safety through segmented processing rather than a single complex step.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces activated carbon as an intermediary substance that adsorbs harmful chemicals and residues during the filtration process. This mediator enables effective removal of contaminants without requiring direct chemical reactions or complex processing equipment.
3Object-affected harmful factors
If natural humate sources like humus soil and composted plants are used, then absence of carcinogenic chemicals is improved, but extraction yield may be reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary processing of natural humate sources by composting and pre-treatment to enhance the availability and extractability of humic and fulvic acids. This preliminary action increases the yield from natural sources without requiring chemical additives during the actual extraction process.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent optimizes extraction parameters such as pH, temperature, and liquid-to-solid ratio to maximize the yield of humic and fulvic acids from natural humate sources. By carefully controlling these parameters, high extraction efficiency is achieved from natural sources without introducing harmful chemicals.
