Solution reactor and method for solution reaction

A solution reactor for allowing a solution to contact with a reactant gas so as to chemically change a component contained in the solution by means of the reactant gas, the solution reactor comprising:

• an ultrasonic vibrator for ultrasonically vibrating the solution to be atomized into a state of mists in an ultrasonic atomization chamber;
• an ultrasonic power source, connected to the ultrasonic vibrator, for supplying high-frequency electric power to the ultrasonic vibrator to provide an ultrasonic vibration;
• a reaction unit for allowing the reactant gas to contact with the mists which are atomized by the ultrasonic vibrator;
• a barrel defining a spray opening at a top end thereof, the barrel being disposed superjacent to the ultrasonic vibrator, wherein the ultrasonic vibrator provides an ultrasonic vibration to the solution toward the spray opening of the barrel so that the solution, atomized into a form of the mists, is discharged from the spray opening;
• and
• a connection duct which is connected to a supply source for the reactant gas at a bottom portion of the barrel,
• wherein the solution is atomized by the ultrasonic vibrator into the mists, and such atomized mists are allowed to contact with the reactant gas, whereby a component contained in the solution in the state of mists is chemically changed by means of the reactant gas,
• wherein the barrel defines a gas nozzle opened for feeding the reactant gas to the mists sprayed from the spray opening, the gas nozzle is connected to the supply source of the reactant gas, the reactant gas fed out of the supply source is fed from the gas nozzle to the mists, the mists sprayed from the spray opening are fed into the reactant gas, whereby the atomized mists are allowed to contact with the reactant gas, and
• wherein the barrel is removably connected to the connection duct and supplied with the reactant gas through the connection duct when the barrel is connected to the connection duct.

A method for solution reaction which allows a solution to contact with a reactant gas so as to chemically change a component contained in the solution by means of the reactant gas, the method comprising:

• ultrasonically vibrating the solution to be atomized in a state of mists;
• discharging such atomized mists inside of the reactant gas in a ring form;
• and
• allowing the reactant gas to contact with such atomized mists, whereby the component contained in the solution in the state of mists is chemically changed by means of the reactant gas.
