METHOD OF MINERALIZATION OF DRINKING WATER Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: preparation of potable water; methods of mineralization and purification of water in small-sized non-energy-consuming plants, extremal conditions inclusive.

SUBSTANCE: proposed method includes delivery of flow, separation of this flow into main and secondary flows, bringing secondary flow in contact with solid material containing polymer granulated material with physiologically active agents; then both flows are combined; volume flow rate of secondary flow is 2.5-15.0% of volume flow rate of main flow of water. Besides that, secondary flow of water may be additionally divided into 2-5 flows in parallel or in series which are brought in contact with 2-5 polymer granulated materials; osmotic membranes may be placed in way of secondary flow of flows. Main flow may be passed through sorbent. Proposed method excludes penetration of solid material particles into proportioning units and reduces probability of proceeding of chemical reactions accompanied by hydrolysis, sedimentation and gassing.

EFFECT: enhanced efficiency.
