Latest Patents

Mukai’s patent, titled “Water softener,” describes a system designed to soften water and regenerate the materials used in its treatment. The system includes a water-softening tank containing weakly acidic cation-exchange resin, which removes hardness components from raw water. A neutralization tank uses weakly basic anion-exchange resin to adjust the pH of the softened water.

An electrolysis tank produces acidic electrolyzed water to regenerate the cation-exchange resin and alkaline electrolyzed water to regenerate the anion-exchange resin. A treatment tank mixes the acidic and alkaline electrolyzed water after they have passed through their respective treatment stages, then supplies the mixture to the electrolysis tank. This arrangement integrates water softening, pH adjustment, and resin regeneration within one system.

Career Highlights

Mukai’s documented patent work focuses on water treatment technology. His patented system combines ion-exchange resins with electrolysis to support both water softening and regeneration of the treatment materials.

Collaborations

Mukai is associated with Panasonic Intellectual Property Management Co., Ltd. His listed coworkers include Yui Matsumoto and Hiroki Ishikawa.

Conclusion

Juri Mukai’s patent presents an integrated approach to water softening that combines hardness removal, pH neutralization, and electrolysis-based resin regeneration.
