The present invention relates to an alkali reduced water generation filter, and more particularly, to an alkali reduced water generation device, an alkaline reduced water having an inorganic mineral addition function as well as a constant alkali level in water stored in the storage tank via a filter. It relates to a generation filter.

With the recent development of the industry, our living environment has become more profitable. However, due to industrial development, pollution, resource depletion and environmental destruction, human living environment has been gradually deteriorating. Among these, the importance of water, which is indispensable for human life, but also for health, is urgently required. In particular, in the well-being era, there is an increasing demand for not only clean and sanitary water for health, but also healthy water, that is, alkaline water.

Water (H ₂ O) is always the same amount of the H ⁺ and OH ^- is divided into, and an H ⁺ is high, the water-dispersible, OH ^- is referred to as a large alkaline. Minerals such as magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), and lithium (Li), which have a higher tendency to ionize than hydrogen, decompose water when contacted with water to produce hydrogen and change to alkaline. For example, magnesium is a highly reactive metal that emits electrons when dissolved in water and reacts according to the following equation (1).

<Scheme 1>

^{_{Mg + 2H 2 O → Mg +2}} + 2OH - + H 2 (H + H → H 2)

The OH ⁻ thus formed changes the water to alkaline, and at the same time, hydrogen and active hydrogen lower the ORP of the water to give the water the ability to remove the free radicals.

When magnesium reacts with water, one molecule of magnesium reacts with two molecules of water, which does not free magnesium, and magnesium hydroxide is formed. In this process, some of the electrons from magnesium are used to form hydrogen gas, and the other electrons are in water. Will remain. Magnesium hydroxide is ionized to form a hydroxyl group (OH ⁻ ) so that magnesium is oxidized and water is reduced to form reduced water. Since the increase of the hydroxyl group causes an increase in the pH value, the generation of alkaline water can be known by measuring the pH of the reaction acidity.

Ceramic ball is a water treatment carrier made by mixing and processing various functional ceramics specially processed on ceramics rich in emissivity and minerals. Alkali water is watered according to the additives, and antibacterial and deodorant, inorganic mineral elution, dechlorination, Various functions, such as far-infrared radiation, can be provided.

Examples of the components of the ceramic ball, the super ceramic ball is Al ₂ O ₃ , SiO ₂ , ZrO ₂ is the main component, the antibacterial ceramic ball is Al ₂ O ₃ , SiO ₂ , CaO, AgO is the main component, dechlorinated ceramic ball is SiO ₂ , CaO is the main component and Pywater ceramic ball is composed of Al ₂ O ₃ , SiO ₂ , Fe ₂ O ₃ as the main component.

In consideration of the substitution of functional substances with alkali water and the effect of imparting functionalities, the filter for producing alkaline reduced water is used with functionalized ceramic balls having antibacterial, deodorizing, dechlorination, and mineral components together with alkalizing metallic materials such as magnesium (Mg). It can be seen that it can be produced as a complex functional type.

Alkaline earth metals such as Mg and Ca, that is, alkaline reduced water particles, generate heat of reaction when reacted with water. Mg, for example, reacts with water to generate magnesium hydroxide and hydrogen to generate heat. Therefore, in order to secure the safety of the filter case or filter connecting valve, such safety measures are required. To this end, the present invention proposes a double flow path filter structure.

The functional water device which is being commercialized and widely distributed can be classified into alkaline ionized water using electrolysis method and alkaline reduced water using filter or mineral deposit stick type, but ionized water is used according to the inevitable acidic water discharge by electrolysis. It is an irrational and wasteful resource that wastes more than 50% of the water to be used and the lack of minerals as a functional water, in particular, the membrane-type water treatment is limited in the application, such as a functional filter similar to the present invention Conventionally, it has been used as a mineral stick type and a simple filter mounting structure mainly used by depositing in a general bottle of water or a reservoir. The functional water system using a filter or mineral stick is simple, and it is easy to extract the functional water for its original purpose continuously from the beginning of use in all the systems, namely, a resource-saving functional water type without waste of water or all systems, that is, cold or room temperature. There were many problems in terms of performance.

When tap water is used directly, the inflow water to the functional water generator goes through the water filter and then directly into the reservoir or the cold water tank through a single functional filter. However, when stored for a long time in a cold water container, the functionality is significantly lowered and had a number of disadvantages to use as a functional water originally intended. Not only a device for obtaining cold water but also a functional water device that directly discharges normal temperature water has the same disadvantage.

In the case of the stick type of the deposition type in the container, there is a disadvantage in that the generation time of the alkaline water that needs to be deposited for a long time becomes long and cold water cannot be used. In particular, in the RO system, purified water becomes almost distilled water, so mineral-deficient water is generated. As a countermeasure, that is, a method for adding minerals, an alkaline reduced water filter It is possible to easily generate alkaline water by mounting.

The main object of the present invention is to provide an alkali reduced water generating filter capable of generating alkali reduced water that is configured to continuously or periodically circulated flow, which is antibacterial, deodorizing, dechlorination, minerals with alkalinizing metallic materials such as magnesium (Mg) Functional ceramic balls with components are used together to give a complex function.

In particular, the purified water of the reverse osmosis method (RO method) is almost water distilled water, the water is lacking in the mineral is essentially generated, as a reinforcement and countermeasures for this, the alkaline reduced water generation filter according to the present invention is installed It is to be possible to easily produce mineral water rich in minerals.

In addition, unlike the general single-pass filter, it has a cooling type dual flow path filter structure to secure the safety of the filter case or the filter connecting valve from the heat of reaction caused by the reaction of alkaline reduced water particles such as Mg with water. will be.
