Ultrasonic solution separating method and ultrasonic separating apparatus used in such method

An ultrasonic solution separating apparatus comprising:

• a plurality of ultrasonic vibrators for ultrasonically vibrating a solution to atomize the solution into mists;
• an ultrasonic electric power source, connected to the ultrasonic vibrator, for supplying a high-frequency power to the ultrasonic vibrator to produce an ultrasonic vibration;
• and a collection unit for condensing and collecting the mists atomized by the ultrasonic vibrator, whereby the mists atomized in a ultrasonic atomization chamber are collected at the collection unit to be separated from the solution,
• wherein a tube, defining a spray opening opened at the top thereof, is disposed above the ultrasonic vibrator in a non-heated state, so that the solution is supplied into the tube and the solution is ultrasonically vibrated by the ultrasonic vibrator to be released from the spray opening so as to be dispersed in a form of atomized mists, and
• wherein the tube has a gas nozzle opened for supplying a carrier gas to the atomized mists and has a carrier gas source connected to the gas nozzle, so that the carrier gas blown from the gas nozzle is supplied to the mists to atomize the mists therein and the atomized mists are condensed and collected at the collection unit.
