Description

Real-time sterilization apparatus and real-time sterilization method using the same {APPARATUS FOR STERILIZING AND DISINFECTING WATER ON-TIME AND METHOD USING SAME}

The present invention relates to a real-time sterilization apparatus, in order to sterilize contaminated water in a separate container to sterilize in real time by flowing the contaminated water rather than sterilization for a long time. The present invention relates to a real time sterilization apparatus capable of minimizing the volume occupied by having a simple and compact structure and a real time sterilization method using the same.

Recently, environmental pollution such as allergy and atopy is increasing as the pollution of the air and soil is increasing, and as interest in well-being increases, interest in health is increasing day by day.

Nevertheless, the water in public swimming pools has been used for a long time by disinfecting with a large amount of sodium hypochlorite (Lax) without replacing it with fresh water for a long time of up to six months. As such, when a large amount of sodium hypochlorite is put into the water of the swimming pool to disinfect the contaminated water, there is a problem that the remaining chlorine causes the eyes of people swimming in the pool to smell and disinfect, causing a sense of rejection. . Therefore, there is a need for a sterilization and disinfection method of water capable of removing the odor of inverse chlorine as the eye troubles of swimmers are eliminated.

On the other hand, the vessel is equipped with a ballast to accommodate the sea water to adjust the height of the vessel or to balance the vessel. However, the number of ballast water contained in the ballast is about 10 billion tons per year, and not only the foreign organisms introduced with the ballast water seriously affect the marine environment, but also the number of ballast contained in the ballast It remains contaminated by the ship while it is contaminated, causing the sea to be polluted by discharging the ballast water back to the sea. As a result, legislation has been in force since 2009, requiring mandatory installation of water treatment equipment. However, there is a problem that there is no solution yet how to discharge the number of the ballast filled in the large capacity of the large vessel of such a large vessel in a short time.

In addition, in the manufacture of sterilizing water used for cleaning of sterilizing water or medical equipment used for the treatment of patients in a dentist or a large hospital, the sterilizing water is produced in a large-scale sterilizing water production apparatus and piped it. Although it has been used to supply through, there has been a problem that the sterilized water is contaminated while being supplied through the pipe and the sterilized water prepared beforehand is also contaminated. Accordingly, a method of supplying sterilized water to prevent secondary pollution is urgently required in a large hospital or a dentist.

On the other hand, it has been widely known that pesticides sprayed to prevent pests in cultivating cereals have a very bad effect on the human body. As part of this, environmentally friendly crops have become very popular in recent years. However, when the pesticide is not used at all, there is a problem in that the yield of the crop is reduced as it is exposed to pests. Accordingly, the necessity of a method for producing a large amount of sterilizing water capable of killing insects in a short time, although harmless to the human body even if it is absorbed by the human body is emerging.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object thereof is to provide a real-time sterilization apparatus capable of sterilizing a large amount of contaminated water immediately and in a short time.

In addition, the present invention is easy to manufacture to maintain a constant gap between the spaced apart anode and cathode projections required to achieve high sterilization power in the sterilization of water contaminated by electrolysis, while at the same time simply forming a complex flow path It is another object of the present invention to provide a real-time sterilization apparatus which is easy to assemble and has a simple structure.

Further, another object of the present invention is to provide a real-time sterilization apparatus which is convenient to be applied to various applications and has an easy installation according to the compact structure.

In addition, another object of the present invention is to minimize the content of chlorine in real time to sterilize sterilized water is not irritating to the human body to produce a sterilized water without a sense of rejection.

On the other hand, an object of the present invention is to provide a fresh sterilized water for various treatments or cleaning of the hospital by using the real-time sterilization device produced as described above.

In addition, the present invention uses a real-time sterilization and disinfection device manufactured as described above to sterilize and discharge the polluted water contained in the vessel's bellows to the outside so that the surrounding sea is not contaminated.

In addition, the present invention can sterilize the water in the swimming pool at any time regardless of the user's use time using the real-time disinfection device prepared as described above, the sterilized pool water is not irritating to the human body does not have a sense of objection to users Another purpose is to allow for the rapid disinfection of water in large quantities.

In addition, the present invention by using a real-time disinfection device, such as ducks, chickens, pigs, pig farms, etc. produced in real time sterilization disinfection in a large amount and sprayed to prevent birds or livestock from disease It is another object to make it possible.

In addition, the present invention is harmless to the human body even if absorbed into the human body instead of spraying pesticides to prevent pests in the cultivation of grains, but using a real-time sterilization device produced as described above sterilizing water to kill the pests It aims to be able to remove and prevent pests by making a large amount in a short time.

The present invention is an apparatus for sterilizing and disinfecting water in real time in order to achieve the object as described above, and a positive electrode plate protruding a plurality of anode projections on one surface; A negative electrode plate spaced apart from opposite ends of the plurality of anode protrusions in a direction opposite to each other and having a plurality of cathode protrusions facing each other; A power supply unit supplying DC power to the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate; Interposed between the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate by an insulating material, two or more bends are provided from an inlet through which water is introduced to an outlet through which water is sterilized and discharged to sterilize by a region penetrated in the thickness direction. A curved flow path forming member formed to form a closed flow path with the outside air in a zigzag shape, the plurality of cathode protrusions and the plurality of anode protrusions being located in the flow path; It is configured to include, provides a real-time sterilization apparatus, characterized in that the water is sterilized in real time while passing through the flow path connecting the outlet from the inlet.

That is, as the curved flow path forming member in which the serpentine penetrated region is formed is interposed between the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate, the penetrated region forms a zigzag-shaped flow path through which water passes. Tortuous formation is induced by turbulence in which many vortices and the like occur in the water passing through the flow path, and is generated by electrolysis between the anode and cathode protrusions even if the water passes through the flow path at the same time. As the hypochlorous acid comes into contact with water more and can improve the speed of purification of contaminated water and at the same time, the efficiency of preparing general water into sterilizing sterilizing water can be improved. Sterilization and disinfection becomes possible.

Above all, the real-time sterilization apparatus according to the present invention needs to maintain a gap between a plurality of anode protrusions and a plurality of cathode protrusions formed to face each other in a predetermined range in order to realize high sterilization power using a small amount of chlorine. In addition, an advantageous effect of automatically maintaining the gap between the plurality of anode protrusions and the plurality of cathode protrusions in a predetermined range is obtained by the thickness of the curved flow path forming member.

More specifically, the projections facing each other on the electrodes shown in Patent Nos. 66,641, 789325, and 649657, which are devised and filed by the inventors of the present invention, are provided to be spaced apart at regular intervals so as to face low chlorine. Even with the content of high sterilizing ability to produce more hypochlorous acid has a high sterilizing power. However, when the gap between the projections facing each other exceeds the threshold, a plurality of conduction paths P are not formed, which is substantially similar to that of two plate-shaped electrodes facing each other. The effect of producing large amounts of hypochlorous acid becomes difficult to obtain.

In other words, if a plurality of anode protrusions and a plurality of cathode protrusions are maintained at regular intervals (for example, 1 mm to 3 mm), a plurality of conduction paths ( As a plurality of P) are formed to be spaced apart from each other, chlorine gas Cl ₂ is generated to be uniformly distributed in a small amount around these conduction paths P by electrolysis. As the chlorine gas Cl 2 is widely distributed in the water in the flow path in a small amount, the chlorine gas Cl 2 is more easily reacted with water, and thus the chlorine gas reacts with the water more activated. According to the following Chemical Formula 1, even if the content of chlorine gas is small, the advantage of maximizing the production of hypochlorous acid with high sterilizing power is obtained.

[Formula 1]

_{Cl 2 + H 2 O ->} HOCl + H + + Cl -

To this end, conventionally, a plurality of anode protrusions and a plurality of cathode protrusions need a separate support for fixing the electrodes in order to spaced apart from each other at regular intervals, the real-time sterilization apparatus according to the present invention is water is blocked while blocking the outside air The curved flow path forming member forming the passage through which the plurality of cathode projections and the plurality of anode projections can automatically maintain a constant gap facing each other.

Then, the winding of the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate by simply tightening the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate in a state interposed between the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate with the winding through region formed therebetween, the air is sealed The curved flow path can be easily produced, and the effect of improving the assemblability with a simple structure is also obtained. At the same time, since a serpentine flow path is formed between the two plates, it is possible to implement a real-time disinfection device having a clean appearance and compact structure.

The current supplied by the power supply is maintained at 50 mA to 300 mA. Since the charges are concentrated at the leading ends of the plurality of negative and positive electrode projections facing each other formed on the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate, the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate are energized with each other even when a low current is applied to facilitate electrolysis. Through this, it is possible to generate a large amount of hypochlorous acid with high sterilization power while minimizing power consumption.

In addition, the water may be water of neutral to weakly acidic tap water, ground water, and the like of pH 4.0 to pH 9.0. This is because in neutral to weak acidity, chlorine gas in the water is produced as hypochlorite (HOCl) with high sterilizing power instead of hypochlorite ions (ClO-) with low sterilizing power when water is electrolyzed.

In general, since seawater and tap water contain chlorine, chlorine contained by electrolysis can generate hypochlorous acid with high sterilization power, so that contaminated water can be sterilized or manufactured with general sterilization water. do. At this time, when the water flowing into the inlet is insufficient chlorine may be additionally included a chlorine supply unit for supplying chlorine. At this time, the chlorine supply portion is sufficient to supply a low concentration of brine.

At this time, the production of chlorine-containing water as a disinfectant disinfectant solution by electrolysis is carried out by oxidizing substances such as residual chlorine such as ozone (O3), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), OH radicals, hypochlorous acid (HOCl), etc. oxidants) is formed by the following steps (1) to (5).

(1) The path through which ozone is produced begins with the electrolysis of water (H2O), and finally ozone is formed through the following process in which O and O2 are combined.

H2O-> H + + (OH) ads + e-

(OH) ads-> (O) ads + H + + e-

_{2 (OH) ads -> O} 2 + 2H + + 2e -

2 (O) _ads- > O ₂

(O) _ads + O _2- > O ₃

(2) Hydrogen peroxide is produced by the direct route by the electrolysis of oxygen and the indirect route produced by the combination of OH radicals, an intermediate product produced by ozone decomposition. In other words,

O ₂ ^{_{^{+ E - -> O 2 ·}}} -

_{^{O 2 + 2H + + 2e -}} -> H 2 O 2

With a direct path such as

OH + OH-> H ₂ O ₂

Is generated by an indirect path such as

(3) HOCl reacts with H ₂ O to form HOCl after Cl ⁻ ions in water bind with Cl ₂ . In other words,

^{_{2Cl - -> Cl 2 + 2e}} -

_{^{2H 2 O + 2e - ->}} H 2 + 2OH ^-

_{Cl 2 + H 2 O ->} HOCl + H + + Cl -

(4) OH radical is directly measured is not possible, however, OH if ozone is present in the water due to disappear was instantly generated ^- or conjugate base of HO ₂ of the hydrogen ^{peroxide-forming} a and radical chain cycle reaction, and finally Produces OH radicals.

O ₃ + OH-> Radial Chain Reaction-> OH

O ₃ + HO ^₂ ^- (H ² conjugate base of O ₂₎ -> radical chain reaction -> OH ·

(5) Microorganisms (microorganisms) present in water are inactivated or removed by the oxidants produced, and the following microorganisms are removed by electrosorption, and the following microorganics are e- and It is removed by direct electrolysis reaction.

In other words, for Microorgainsm

M (Microorganism)-> Electrosorption-> Inactivation

Also,

M (Microorganism) + O _3- > Inactivation

M + OH ·-> Inactivation

M + HOCl-> Inactivation.

And about Microorganics,

M (Microorganics) + e--> M-

Also,

M (Microorganics) + O _3- > Product

M + OH

M + HOCl-> Product

That is, during the electrolysis, oxidation by oxidants (O3, H2O2, HOCl, OCl-, OH radicals, etc.) containing residual chlorine (HOCl, OCl-) produced in the process of (1) to (5) above And sterilization is performed smoothly, and after electrolysis, sterilization of mold, bacteria, bacteria, viruses, pathogens, etc. remaining in contaminated water by the sterilizing power of hypochlorite (HOCl), which occupies a large amount of residual chlorine. The water can be purified. At the same time, the water passing through the flow path of the real-time sterilization device will have the sterilization power of hypochlorous acid as it is, spraying this water on crops, livestock, poultry, insects, viruses, pathogens, etc. Mold can be removed.

Here, the water flowing into the flow path through the inlet is introduced in a direction perpendicular to the positive electrode plate.

However, the positive electrode plate 110 and the negative electrode plate 120 are formed with a plurality of positive and negative protrusions 115 and negative electrode protrusions 125 facing each other, so that the electrolysis occurs even by a small current to contain a sufficient amount of hypochlorous acid. Since residual chlorine is generated, it is sufficient to apply a power source having a DC voltage of 2.0V to 3.5V.

The water to be sterilized and supplied to the real time sterilization apparatus 100 is supplied by the pipe 30, and as shown in FIG. 2, the pipe is introduced so as to flow perpendicularly to the twisted plane of the flow path 130x. The inlet 77 of 30 is fixed. To this end, the end of the pipe 30 is fixed to the threaded fastener 30c, the fastener 30c is a sealing tape (not shown) in the inlet hole (77a) formed with the female thread of the negative electrode plate 120 It is fixed in between. Through this, the water flowing into the flow path 130x of the real-time sterilization and disinfection device 100 is generated a lot of vortex from the time of inflow, electrolysis while passing through the winding path 130x in the direction indicated by reference numeral 130d The contact area is maximized to an oxidant such as hypochlorous acid (HOCl) produced by the sterilization and disinfection efficiency is improved.

The real-time sterilization apparatus 110 configured as described above introduces the water 11 contained in the container 10 into the serpentine flow path 130x through the pipe 30 by the pump 20, and then, to the electrolysis. The water introduced through the passage 130x has a large area of contact with residual chlorine, such as hypochlorous acid, and the like, and the water discharged through the outlet 88 includes viruses, bacteria, fungi, pathogens, and bacteria. All of the backs are sterilized or have a sterilizing ability to sterilize them, and thus have an advantageous effect of being able to regenerate with a large amount of sterilized water in a short time.

In addition, the real-time disinfection device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is to sandwich the curved flow path forming member 130 to form a winding channel 130x between the two electrode plates (110, 120). Not only can be easily formed by this, it is possible to maintain a constant gap between the protrusions (115, 125) protruding on the inner surface of the electrode plate (110, 120) through this, and also easy to assemble, simple structure, small It is possible to realize a compact structure capable of disinfecting a large amount of water in the space.

Hereinafter, an experimental result of removing germs by preparing sterilized water using the real time sterilizing apparatus 110 as described above will be described in detail.

A tap water of 0.05% and 0.1% salinity in a state in which a 3V power supply and a low current of 80 mA to 130 mA were applied to a real time sterilization apparatus manufactured with the A and B dimensions of the electrode plate shown in FIG. 3 as 91 mm and 55 mm, respectively. When water was passed through the flow path 130x by the free-falling method, the concentration of residual chlorine having bactericidal power was obtained as shown in Table 1 below.

Salinity concentration First condition Second condition Third condition 0.05%
Current applied Residual chlorine concentration Current applied Residual chlorine concentration Current applied Residual chlorine concentration 80 mA 1.7 ppm 80 mA 1.5 ppm 80 mA 1.6 ppm 0.1%
Current applied Residual chlorine
Degree Current applied Residual chlorine
Degree Current applied Residual chlorine
Degree 110 ~ 130mA 3.5 ppm 110 ~ 120mA 2.6 ppm 120 mA 2.4 ppm

That is, in order to prevent the disgusting smell or irritation to the human body, even though the flow path 130x is passed through at a small size while the salinity concentration is limited to 0.1% or less and a low current of 130 mA is applied, It was confirmed that residual chlorine of 1.5 ppm or more necessary for sterilization and disinfection could be produced.

In addition, in a real time sterilization apparatus manufactured by using the A and B dimensions of the electrode plate shown in FIG. 3 as 91 mm and 55 mm, respectively, water having a salt concentration of 0.3% higher than this was driven for 50 seconds per unit time. Flowing by 52 to 85 ml at a constant flow rate, and applying a current of 100 mA to 120 mA while changing the direction of the current every 5 seconds, to obtain sterilized water containing residual chlorine generated in real time while passing through the flow path. For reference, in order to prevent the previously generated sterilizing water from remaining in the flow path, after generating the sterilizing water, a sufficient rinsing process was performed. The concentration of residual chlorine in the sterilized water thus obtained is shown in Table 2 below.

Applied current (mA) Produced sterilized water volume (ml) Residual chlorine concentration
(1 time) Residual chlorine concentration
(Episode 2) Residual chlorine concentration
(3rd time) 100 52 8.0ppm 8.1 ppm 8.3 ppm 100 85 5.5 ppm 5.5 ppm 5.4 ppm 120 52 10.2 ppm 10 ppm 10.8 ppm 120 85 7.3 ppm 7.7ppm 7.7ppm

That is, the water containing chlorine supplied in real time while passing through the flow path is electrolyzed at a plurality of opposing electrodes, and the residual chlorine generated while passing through the bent portion is mixed evenly. It can be produced uniformly with sterilized water having a predetermined sterilizing power in real time. First of all, as shown in the above experimental results, even if repeated several times, the concentration difference of residual chlorine less than 5% of residual chlorine is generated, so that sterilizing power can be adjusted as desired.

In addition, by slightly increasing the concentration of chlorine as described above, even if the time to pass through the passage is shorter it can be produced in real time sterilizing water that can implement a sufficient sterilizing power.

On the other hand, using the sterilized water generated as shown in Table 1, as a result of the sterilization test for various bacteria, pathogens, etc., the results shown in Table 3 were obtained.

In other words, it can be seen that more than 99% of the bacteria are extinguished as long as the time passing through the passage exceeds one minute. Therefore, the real-time sterilization apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention by designing the length of the flow path (130x) more than 1 minute the time that water passes, water contaminated by bacteria, bacteria, viruses, etc. Is capable of purifying more than 99% of chlorine, as well as preparing fresh sterilized water with high sterilization power on the fly, disinfecting swimming pools, producing hospital sterilizing water, producing sterilizing water for breeding hygiene of crops, poultry and livestock, and It can be used for various purposes such as sterilization and disinfection of water.

On the other hand, the real-time sterilization apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be utilized as shown in FIG. That is, as shown in FIG. 11, water 11 containing chlorine to some extent can be easily obtained, such as tap water, and led to the inlet of the real-time sterilization and disinfection device 100 through the pipe 30 by the pump 20. By passing through the flow path 130x of the sterilizing apparatus 100 in real time, it contains a low concentration of residual chlorine to produce sterilizing water which is harmless to the human body but has high sterilizing power.

At this time, when the chlorine (Cl) is not contained or insufficient in the water 11 induced by the pump 20, selectively open the valve 151 to supply salt water to flow into the real time sterilization apparatus 100. Adjust the salt concentration of the water (11) to suit the intended use. When spraying on the sensitive mucous membranes of the human body, adjust the concentration of physiological saline to about 0.9%, and when applying to disinfecting indoors and outdoors in buildings such as homes or hospitals, the concentration of chlorine is about 1 ~. Adjust as high as 3%.

As described above, the sterilized water sterilized through the real-time sterilizer 100 is an open / close valve for a part of the human body to treat or prevent an infection, an indoor / outdoor space of a building to be sterilized, or a crop to remove pests. The control unit 161 is sprayed or sprayed while being manufactured in real time through the nozzle 160 at the end of the flexible jet pipe (hose) to sterilize viruses, pathogens, molds, bacteria, and the like. At this time, the real-time sterilizer 100 is made of a portable that can be worn in the form of a bag tied to a person's back, sterilize a large amount of water supplied through the water supply hose 30 in real time to sterilization water During manufacture, it can supply on-the-fly where needed.
