Abstract
A carbonic acid solution comprises an aqueous infusion of CO2 having a pH≤5 and characterized in that the pH is substantially stable for at least 30 days in an open container at ambient temperature and normal atmospheric pressure. The carbonic acid solution may be further characterized in that the scattered intensity of a polarized laser beam passing therethrough is at least 2 times greater in the direction parallel to said polarization than the scattered intensity in the direction normal to the plane of polarization. The solution may be further infused with other gases and may be mixed with gel-forming materials and other additives. A related method for making the carbonic acid is also disclosed.

A carbonic acid solution comprising:
- an aqueous infusion of CO2 having a pH≤5 and characterized in that said pH is substantially stable for at least 30 days in an open container at ambient temperature and normal atmospheric pressure.
A method of making a stable carbonic acid solution comprising the steps of:
- a) providing a gas infusion module comprising a monolithic hydrophobic gas-exchange membrane including a water inlet, a gas inlet, and a water outlet;
- b) providing a source of pressurized water from a selected supply into said water inlet;
- c) providing a source of CO2 gas into said gas inlet;
- d) flowing said water through said gas infusion module while supplying CO2 to said gas inlet to form a carbonic acid solution of a selected composition and pH.
A hydrogen-infused aqueous solution containing 0.5 to 1.5 ppm H2 and characterized in that said hydrogen content is substantially stable for at least five days in an open container at ambient temperature and normal atmospheric pressure.
A method of making a hydrogen-infused aqueous solution comprising the steps of:
- a) providing a gas infusion module comprising a monolithic hydrophobic gas-exchange membrane including a water inlet, a gas inlet, and a water outlet;
- b) providing a source of pressurized water from a selected supply into said water inlet;
- c) providing a source of H2 gas into said gas inlet;
- d) flowing said water through said gas infusion module while supplying H2 to said gas inlet to form a solution having a hydrogen concentration of 0.5 to 1.5 ppm H2.
