Abstract
Using electric power obtained by marine wind force and a tide, sea water is electrolyzed to produce fresh water, sodium, magnesium, calcium, potassium, caustic soda, chlorine, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, hydrogen, oxygen or the like, at the same time, unloaded malts, saw dust and the like are fermented to brew ethanol, carbon dioxide generated here is used for photosynthesis to culture vegetables and oxygen generated here is supplied to a fish preserve and an under reef where fish live to culture fishes and also returned to sea water dropped in the concentration of oxygen to suppress the generation of a red tide.
Claims7
A method for integrating a production facility comprising the steps:
- pumping sea water into an electrolytic plant using a storage pump;
- passing said sea water under high pressure through a reverse osmosis membrane, wherein at least fresh water is separated from a brine solution;
- adding sodium oxalate or oxalic acid to the brine solution to precipitate calcium oxalate, wherein said sodium oxalate or oxalic acid is supplied from an ethanol plant in the integrated production facility;
- filtering the calcium oxalate from the brine solution to form a first filtrate, wherein the sodium oxalate or oxalic acid is recovered from the calcium oxalate using hydrochloric acid;
- adding caustic soda produced in the electrolytic plant to the first filtrate to produce magnesium hydroxide, wherein the magnesium hydroxide is further reacted with hydrochloric acid and subjected to molten salt electrolysis to produce metal magnesium and chlorine;
- filtering the magnesium hydroxide from the first filtrate to form a second filtrate;
- neutralizing the second filtrate with hydrochloric acid;
- transmitting and separating said neutralized second filtrate using an ion exchange resin electrolysis to separate sulfuric acid from the second filtrate;
- subjecting the sulfuric acid-separated second filtrate to solution electrolysis to produce sodium hydroxide, oxygen, chlorine gas, and hydrogen gas;
- treating the sodium hydroxide by molten salt electrolysis to produce metal sodium;
- processing deep ocean water using a reverse osmosis membrane to produce desalinated deep ocean water;
- mixing said desalinated deep ocean water with grains and a yeast to form a mixture, wherein the yeast converts said grains into a sugar;
- fermenting said mixture having the sugar with an alcoholic decomposition enzyme zymase to produce beer or sake, wherein carbon dioxide is generated as a by-product of said fermentation;
- and
- supplying said generated carbon dioxide to a vegetable plant for the photosynthesis of plants and vegetables, generating oxygen.
