## Abstract

A method is provided for producing fine-bubble water by resonance foaming and vacuum cavitation, and a device for manufacturing each of ultra-fine-bubble water of hydrogen gas having a reducing radical function, ultra-fine-bubble water of air and oxygen gas having an oxidizing radical function, ozone ultra-fine-bubble water having a sterilization function enabled by ozone, and fine-bubble water of nitrogen/carbon dioxide gas for increasing the ability to preserve the freshness of raw agricultural products, livestock products, and marine products.

## Claims

### Claim 1

An apparatus for manufacturing gas-containing ultrafine bubbled water according to resonance bubble-forming and vacuum cavitation, wherein the apparatus comprises:
a resonance ejector including a resonance bubble-forming device and a supply device that supply gas to the resonance ejector;
a first pump that sucks water from a water source and transfers the water to the resonance ejector, wherein the resonance ejector produces primary bubbles-containing water in the resonance bubble-forming device;
a second pump for subjecting the primary bubbles-containing water received from the resonance bubble-forming device to vacuum cavitation to produce secondary bubbles-containing water;
a conducting pipe that is provided between the resonance bubble-forming device and the secondary pump; and
a pressurizing device for producing bubbled water from the secondary bubbles-containing water,
wherein the first pump sucks water from the water source through the conducting pipe, the sucked water is transferred to the resonance ejector, the sucked water is jetted into the resonance ejector so that gas is sucked from a gas-supply device due to the jetted-into water, the gas being mixed into the jetted-into water, primary fine bubbles of the gas are produced in the resonance bubble-forming device, and the primary fine bubbles are transferred to the secondary pump, in which ultrafine bubbled water containing nano-sized secondary gas bubbles is produced by vacuum cavitation.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The apparatus for manufacturing the ultrafine bubbled water of claim 1, wherein further one or more pumps are provided downstream of the second pump to repeat the vacuum cavitation.
