Abstract
A system and method of injecting a gas enriched and/or emulsified first liquid into a second liquid is disclosed. The injection can cause generation of a high density of bubbles having a mean diameter of a selected size. The mean diameter of the bubbles can be selected and varied based on the characteristics of the injection system.
Claims19
A system to transfer a gas, comprising:
- a plurality of tubes each extending along a length of about 5 inches to about 15 inches and each having a constant internal diameter of about 200 micrometers to about 500 micrometers along the length;
- a source of transfer liquid having a selected gas dissolved therein and operable to form a plurality of bubbles in a receiving liquid when passed through the plurality of tubes, wherein at least a sub-plurality of bubbles of the plurality of bubbles each has a diameter of less than about 50 micrometers and at least assist in generating a chemical species in the receiving liquid.
The system of 1, wherein a flow of the transfer liquid through the tube is operable to be at a Reynolds number of about 2,000 to about 15,000.
A system to transfer a gas, comprising:
- a first nozzle having a first tube extending along a length of about 5 inches to about 15 inches with a constant internal diameter of about 200 micrometers to about 500 micrometers along the length;
- a second nozzle having a second tube extending along a length of about 5 inches to about 15 inches with a constant internal diameter of about 200 micrometers to about 500 micrometers along the length;
- a source of a transfer liquid having a selected gas dissolved therein that is operable to form a plurality of bubbles in a receiving liquid when delivered to the receiving liquid via either of the first nozzle or the second nozzle;
- wherein the first nozzle and the second nozzle are selectively couplable to the source;
- wherein at least a first sub-plurality of bubbles of the plurality of bubbles are a micro-nano bubble;
- wherein at least the first or a second sub-plurality of bubbles of the plurality of bubbles at least assists in generating a chemical species in the receiving liquid.
