EXAMPLE 1
Preparation of the Quantum Carrier
[0059] The process for making quantum carrier according to the present invention is conducted in the following steps:
[0060] Step 1: Clean and remove the dirt and salt on the surface of the oyster shell with water, crush the shell to particles with a diameter less than 1 cm, sintering the crushed oyster shell at a high temperature of 800 C.1300 C. for 2 hours, the preferred sintering temperature is 1200 C., the pH of the sintered oyster shell powder is 8.59, the powder is dried and grounded to particles with a diameter between 40 mesh and 400 mesh to give sintered oyster shell powder.
[0061] Step 2: Mix the sintered oyster shell powder, diatomaceous earth and deep soil to make the oyster shell powder solid mixture; said oyster shell powder solid mixture is then mixed with water to making an oyster shell powder liquid mixture, said oyster shell powder liquid mixture consisting of one part of the oyster shell powder solid mixture and 30 parts of water.
[0062] Step 3: The oyster shell liquid mixture is subjected to high temperature sintering, said second high temperature sintering is liquid sintering, the temperature is between 800 and 1300 C., the preferred sintering temperature is 1200 C., the sintering time is around 8 hours, and the product is honeycomb-like particles with a rough surface, the quantum carrier. The ingredients of the quantum carrier are shown in Table 1. The sintering temperature varies with the ingredients of the powder, for example, the sintering temperature for a powder containing high silicon content is 800 C.

[0063] The raw material of the aforementioned quantum carrier, the oyster shell, can also be replaced by the shells of other shellfish.
EXAMPLE 2
Quantum Carrier Produces Negative Ions
[0064] The above process results in production of negative ions by the derived quantum carrier. In measuring the rate of negative ions generated by the quantum carrier, eight samples were measured 20 seconds apart. The results show the average amount of negative ions is 383 ion/cc.
EXAMPLE 3
The Quantum Carrier has Far Infrared
[0065] The quantum carrier is a honeycomb-like particle with rough surface and releases far infrared with a wavelength of 4-14 m (as shown in
EXAMPLE 4
Quantum Carrier Increases Microorganism Flora
[0066] The quantum carrier increase microbial flora by multiple ways. First, the pores of the quantum carrier can increase the water and oxygen content in the soil and improve the environment for proliferation of the indigenous bacteria; second, the 414 m far infrared released by the quantum carrier will generate resonance with phospholipids, proteins and carbohydrates on the cell membrane, and cells may produce two major biological effects after absorbing far infrared, i.e., the thermal effect and non-thermal effect. Thermal effect is the vibrational or rotational energy of the molecules of a tissue, the jump energy difference generates resonance with the energy of far infrared which subsequently induces magnetic resonance in the indigenous areas by physical actions and promotes growth of the indigenous microorganisms. In addition, the 4 to 14 m far infrared rays released by the quantum carrier can also promote resonance between large groups of the water molecules which break the hydrogen bonds between water molecules and make large water molecules into small water molecules, the small water molecules can easily enter the cells or perform biochemical reactions and are easily used by microorganisms and promote microbial growth. Furthermore, the far infrared released by the quantum carrier can degrade organic materials at a temperature below 45 C., when compared with the high temperature of 70 C. for compost, the low temperature for quantum carrier helps retain protein activities for use by microorganisms and increase the microbial flora. Because the quantum carrier increases beneficial bacteria, the harmful bacteria will be reduced.
EXAMPLE 5
The Quantum Carrier Eliminates the Toxins in the Soil
[0067] The quantum carrier consists of sintered oyster shell powder and the oyster shell powder can absorb heavy metals and release far infrared after sintering, and said far infrared can break the chemical bonds of the heavy metals, pesticides or other toxins by energy resonance and achieve the function of elimination of the toxins in the soil. The water from the rain or irrigation system during the cultivation period generates resonance with the sintered oyster shell powder, which makes the water molecules smaller, increase biochemical reactions as well as further purifies the toxins in the soil.
[0068] As shown in
[0069] The absorption effect of sintered oyster shell powder for cadmium. Sintered oyster shell powder with a particle diameter of 40 mesh (
[0070] The absorption effect of sintered oyster shell powder for chromium. Absorption of chromium by the 40-mesh sintered oyster shell powder is time-dependent (
[0071] The absorption effect of sintered oyster shell powder for lead. The 40-mesh sintered oyster shell powder absorbed 88% of the lead in the standard solution in one hour and 99% of lead was absorbed by the 400-mesh sintered oyster shell powder in 1 hour (FIG. 4B).
[0072] Such efficacy studies evidence sintered oyster shell powder absorption to thereby clear heavy metals in the soil. They further show an inverse proportional correlation between the diameter absorbency level. That is the smaller the diameter, the greater the absorbency thereof.
EXAMPLE 6
Quantum Carrier Reduces Pests
[0073] A yet further feature of the present invention includes the efficacy of diatomaceous earth of the quantum carrier composition, which can reduce pests through physical principles. Diatomaceous earth has a protrusion structure and will generate mechanical actions with each other when in contact with larvae and injure the insect body and eliminate the pests hiding in the soil or in the animal body and reduce damage.
EXAMPLE 7
Quantum Carrier Improves Soil Quality
[0074] A yet further feature of the quantum carrier according to the present invention is its eliminating clay formation reaction of aluminum to make stronger soil aggregates. A further advantage is the quantum carrier's capacity to quickly adjust soil pH by, for example, restoring acidified soil (pH4.84) to a neutral level (pH6.8).
EXAMPLE 8
Quantum Carrier Increases the Benefits of Agricultural Cultivation
[0075] Another feature of the quantum carrier itself is its numerous ionic minerals which support the development of crop roots; in addition, the properties of the quantum carrier such as increasing water and oxygen content as well as growth promotion all help improve the benefits of agricultural cultivation. Shown below, table 2 demonstrates the results of improving the agricultural cultivation benefits by the quantum carrier. The study group and the control group are compared between the same crops planted in the same region during the same period. Use of the quantum carrier has multiple effects on agricultural cultivation, such as early harvest of the produces, extension of flower preservation, prolonged production period, increased production period, increased interval of fertilization application, delicate taste, reduced pests, no rotation required, increased immunity or toxin-free. The production period refers to the period during which the produces can be harvested after maturation.

China. The control group: common feed was used; the study group: the quantum carrier feed was used, a total of 117 pigs were included in the experiment. The pigs in the study group were energetic, agile and steady and had wide back and round hips and a shiny coat, and their disease resistance and immunity were better than the control group. Moreover, because the feed conversion rate was high, the exhaust is low and thus feces, filth and smell of the hog ring were significantly less when compared with the control group. The average weight of the pigs in the study group was 44.65 kg and the pigs in the control group gained an average weight of 39.85 kg. The feed conversion ratio of the study group and the control group was 1:2.55 kg and 1:2.93 kg, respectively. The meat percentage of the study group and the control group was 72.9% and 70.01%, respectively. The pigs in the study group were healthy and use of additional antibiotics or growth hormones was not required. In addition, no Lenobuterol hydrochloride (Clenbuterol), Ractopamine, salbutamol, Chloramphenicol, stilbestrol, Dienestrole, Hexestrol, Aureomycin, ivermectin was detected in the urine of these pigs ; no mercury, lead, arsenic, cadmium, chromium, Fwmepuine, Leucomycin, Lincomycin, Sarafloxacin, stilbestrol, Dienestrole, Hexestrol, Estradiol, 19-nortestosterone, dehydrotestosterone, Prednisolone, Methylprednisolone, melengestrol, Minigest, Medroxyprogesterone, 17--hydroxy progesterone was detected in the specimens of the meat.
