Process for manufacturing collagen and trace elements from sea water

Abstract

The process for manufacturing collagen and trace elements from sea water consists of various steps which are raw material preparation, resting of raw material, preliminary filtration to remove heavy metals, deodorize and purity remaining impurities, spraying of water, separation of heavy metals, collagen and trace elements from water and separation of collagen and trace elements. The process according to this invention, apart from sea water, can be applied to other type of salt water by adjusting the salinity and density of the water to an optimal value. The process according to this invention yields clean and purified collagen which is easily absorbed by human body and contains numerous types of trace elements.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

(1) The following details describe the process for manufacturing collagen and trace elements from sea water in order to further explain the details of this invention.

(2) The process for manufacturing collagen and trace elements from sea water according to this invention includes the steps;

(3) (1) Raw Material Preparation:

(4) In this step, the sea water is transferred to the container with air circulation in order to ventilate the air, deodorize, purify impurities and remove heavy metals from the said sea water.

(5) Raw materials according to this invention, besides the said sea water, another type of salt water may also be used as the raw materials, for example, saline water (prepared from salts). In order to optimize the process, when salt is used to prepare saline for the process according to this invention, the salinity and density should be adjusted to the optimal values.

(6) Moreover, the containers can be selected from but not limited to non-metal bucket, well or any other containers.

(7) (2) Resting of Raw Material

(8) In this step, the raw material is rested for a certain period of time according to its type. Seawater is rested for 1-2 days Salt water is rested for 2-3 days

(9) (3) Preliminary Filtration to Remove Heavy Metals, Deodorize and Purify Remaining Impurities

(10) This step involves re-filtering the sea water or salt water resulting in multiple transferring of raw material in order to deodorize, purify remaining impurities and remove heavy metals i.e. mercury and lead from the water and to aerate and foam in order to deodorize and purify the remaining impurities. This step yields clean and odorless water.

(11) The process in this step is performed by passing the sea water or salt water into the filtering machine repeatedly.

(12) (4) Spraying of Water

(13) The water obtained from (3) will be sprayed within the tube under the controlled temperature and flow rate and re-filtered with the filtering machine before storing in a resting container.

(14) The said resting container includes a resting bucket or any other resting containers.

(15) (5) Separation of Heavy Metals, Collagen and Trace Elements from Water

(16) The water obtained from (4) is passed through the separation machine by circulating water within the separation machine several times in order to remove heavy metals. The heavy metals are then collected whereas collagen and trace elements are still binding and suspending in water.

(17) The separation machine is based on the magnetic field and able to separate heavy metals, collagen and trace elements. Large-grained and high-density heavy metals are precipitated while collagen and trace elements are suspended in the water. Suspended collagen and trace elements make the appearance of water milky and the salinity reduced.

(18) (6) Separation of Collagen and Trace Elements

(19) In this step, the water with reduced salinity and milky appearance obtained from (5) will be precipitated in order to separate collagen and trace elements or the said water can be filtered with fine filter cloth in order to remove collagen and trace elements. The separation can be done with any other methods. The collagen and trace elements obtained from this step is grayish-white gel-like liquid.

(20) To obtain a better result, the step of raw material preparation should be conducted under controlled pressure and light of the sea water so that it optimally helps to generate collagen and trace elements in a sufficiently large amount.

(21) In addition, in order to obtain a better result, the step of preliminary filtration to remove heavy metals, remaining impurities and deodorize should be conducted by increasing pressure and oxygen in order to reduce the size of the elements molecules, making it easier for the microbes to absorb these elements and encouraging microbes to grow faster and live longer.

(22) The process for manufacturing collagen and trace elements from sea water according to the invention yields the purified collagen which is easily absorbed by human body and contains many types of trace elements that are essential for human body. The table below shows the amount of trace elements in a sample product obtained by the process according to the present invention.
