Study on the Possibility of Raw Seawater into Beverage<br/>—Using Ethanol as a Renewable Resource

Study on the Possibility of Raw Seawater into Drinking Water<br/>—A Religious Water Literacy

“…As the last year (2022) was still under the situation in the COVID-19 pandemic in the world, the alcohol (ethanol) has been taken up as a sterilizing disinfectant for the seawater in previous paper [1]. Judging by the results in the paper, we are convinced that it absolutely played a messianic function on the sterilization effect.…”

“…Then, the two functions (Sterilization & Salinity Reduction) mentioned above are extremely important regarding the theme of "raw seawater into drinking" in this study. As mentioned in previous paper [1], it is in general thought that if the two functions are achieved other water quality items can be cleared with comparative ease. In this experiment, it was focused only on the "raw seawater" without using the "solvent" such as ethanol used in the previous paper.…”

“…In the previous paper (JWARP, 2022) [1], it has been examined the possibility of seawater directly into a beverage using ethanol as a renewable resource. In this study, the seawater less than 0.9% (normal saline) has been aimed at creating beverage first, and then divided it into nine kinds of the mixing rate of ethanol/seawater mixtures.…”

“…As for Kant's way of thinking, it can be suggested that the strong mind (will [vow]) which is infinitely kept to "Perpetual Dialogue with Nature/Physis/ 自然 (Shizen)" is the most important point. The contents mentioned above could resonate with a series of our studies (JWARP 2020-2022) so far [1] [27] By the way, the realization of the "Low Entropy Society" is essentially requested to resolve the global issues. In general, seeing the increasing order of the entropy regarding the three states of a matter, the highest is Solid (Ice), followed in order by Liquid (Water), and Gas (Vapor).…”

“…Goal 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation) and Goal 14 (Life Below Water). It has raised the beverage issue which is one of the most important items for humankind in the previous paper [1], and examined the possibility of changing raw seawater into beverage using ethanol as a renewable resource.…”
