Abstract
The oxalic acid aqueous solution filled in an electrolytic tank is electrolyzed with an electrolyzer to produce carbonic acid gas, while ultrasonic wave from an ultrasonic generator is applied to the produced carbonic acid gas bubbles, to form micro bubbles, which is dissolved in said oxalic acid aqueous solution, so as to easily produce carbonic acid gas solution with micro carbonic acid gas bubbles dissolved at a low cost; said carbonic acid gas solution can substitute carbonated spring.
Claims2
A process for producing a carbonic acid gas solution, the process comprising:
- electrolyzing oxalic acid aqueous solution in an electrolytic tank to obtain carbonic acid gas by applying a DC voltage between electrodes in the electrolytic tank;
- and
- dissolving a bubble of the resulted carbonic acid gas in the oxalic acid aqueous solution to obtain said carbonic acid gas solution;
- wherein the electrolyzing comprises measuring a pH value of said oxalic acid aqueous solution and stopping the electrolyzing when said pH value reaches the weak acid range, at a final pH value of from 5.0 to 6.8,
- a starting pH value of said oxalic acid aqueous solution is approximately 0.01, and
- the carbonic acid gas solution is suitable for artificial carbonated spring water.
