Applications

● Agriculture & Horticulture

   Current problems
- Due to the use of agricultural chemicals and chemical fertilizers, soil has been depleted and has lost its proper mineral balance.

   Using Mineral 2000
- Returning mineral balance to soil
- Activates microbe of soil
- Improves granular structure of soil permeability
- Improves water permeability and water retaining ability
- Maintains proper condition of soil
- Advances harvest periods.
- Improves antibacterial ability.
- Improves the granular structure of soil and makes soil more porous so that air circulation can be accelerated.
- Low cost , short harvest period, improved quantity and quality.

   The Main Crops
- Rice, barley, bean, sugar cane, wheat, etc.
- Apple, pear, apricot, peach, plum, persimmon, grape, strawberry, melon, tomato, kiwi, watermelon, pineapple, banana, etc.
- Rose, chrysanthemum, carnation, all kinds of orchids, etc.
- Plants with leaves (All trees)
- Hydroponic culture crops(cabbage, lettuce, etc.)

   Effects
- Improvement in photosynthesis quantity by about 20% ～ 50%
- Resistance to damage from cold weather or hot weather, disease and harmful insects
- Prevention of damage from salt water
- Quality and productivity improvement
- Possibility of repeated cultivation
- Farming without agricultural chemicals
- Sterilization of harmful bacteria

● Cultivation of Fish

   Key point of fish culture is water-purity control
- Fish breathe dissolved oxygen in order to sustain their lives, hence water pollution (which decreases the density of dissolved oxygen and breeds disease-causing bacteria) degrades a fish's life surroundings.

  ● Water Purity Control Methods

   Ordinary Method
- Supply air (oxygen) compulsorily.
- Elimination of harmful ion by active carbon and ion-exchange resin.
- Low economic efficiency according to fishery condition.

   Using Mineral 2000
- Everything is completed only by adding Mineral 2000 to the water
- Activate dissolved oxygen by catalytic action of Mineral 2000
- Removal of suspended substances and dissolved organic substances in the water (removal of residual feeds, excrements, dead bodies and dissolved organic substances.)
- Normal rates of dissolved oxygen (DO) in fresh water is around 8 ppm. If cultivation in an overcrowded condition is conducted in water containing Mineral 2000, soundness or growth of fish would not be disturbed and even consumption rate of DO is reduced to half (4ppm).

  ● Waste-water treatment

   Ordinary Method
In regard to the ordinary method of purifying waste water, Microbe treatment (Activated sludge formula) is primarily used. In the preliminary treatment, the waste is separated by coagulation or filtration, and bacteria (anaerobic and aerobic) are to dissolve the soluble polluted substances. This method was very useful fifty years ago, but now this method has become inefficient due to rapidly increasing disposal of consumption goods.

   Problems with this method
- pH must be always adjusted to neutral.( pH 7 ~ 8 )
- It must always be kept at an appropriate temperature of 20 ~ 30℃, to facilitate microbe propagation and activity.
- It must always be aerated for microbe to survive and propagate.
- There must always be enough nutrients for bacteria or organisms to feed on, which are sludge elements in sewage. If these organisms are too many or too few, it would be equally disadvantageous for bacteria to survive and propagate (adjusting the tank to control nutrition level may be necessary). It may be impossible to accomplish if the sewage contains too much salt, oil or n-Hexane extract (like detergent), and microbes can hardly survive in such conditions.
- The process requires installation of various kinds of large scale equipment such as neutralizing tanks, aeration tanks, denitrification tanks, a recycle sludge system, ultimate setting tanks, etc. plus maintenance costs.

   Active inorganic ion oxidation catalyst method using Mineral 2000
- Using active inorganic ion oxidation catalysis which is very different from the current method.
- Mineral 2000 makes the activated factor greatly higher (huge cost reduction, recycling disposal water, reduction of installation area, shorter time required to treat any waste water etc.)
