Systems, devices, and methods are provided that are useful in generating a fluid suspension of nanoplasmoid bubbles. Such systems utilize a nanobubble/nanoplasmoid generator in conjunction with mechanisms for applying energy to the fluid in the form of electrolytic events, pressure waves, electrical fields, and/or magnetic fields. The nanobubble/nanoplasmoid generator is of modular construction that is readily adaptable to a wide variety of applications. Various applications of nanoplasmoid bubble suspensions so produced are described.

Cartridges and systems for delivering solutions to textiles. In various aspects, the cartridge may include (i) a concentrate chamber that stores a concentrate solution and comprising an outlet, (ii) a dilution chamber comprising an inlet for receiving the concentrate solution from the concentrate chamber, and outlet for dispensing a diluted solution, and (iii) a mechanical portion comprising one or more pumps for delivering the concentrate solution to the dilution chamber and for dispensing the diluted solution. Delivery systems using the cartridge are described.

The invention provides a microdroplet- or bubble-producing device that does not require separate through-holes for different liquid droplet/air bubble-producing flow channels. The droplet-producing flow channels are configured in a three-dimensional manner unlike in a conventional device where they are configured in a two-dimensional plane, and therefore the flow channels can be provided in a more high-density configuration than the prior art. In the microdroplet/bubble-producing device comprising slit(s) and the row of the plurality of microflow channels, the slit(s) is/are a continuous phase supply slit, a dispersion phase supply slit and a discharge slit, the plurality of microflow channels are configured so that the ends of the slit(s) and the two supply ports on both sides or the supply port and discharge port on either side are mutually connected, and at the sites of connection between the microflow channels and the slit(s), the dispersion phase undergoes shear with the continuous phase flow as the driving force, producing droplets or air bubbles of the dispersion phase, which are recovered from the discharge port.

A mixer insert (1) for a static mixer, comprising a plurality of mixing elements (3, 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d, etc.) which are disposed one behind the other along a longitudinal axis (L) and preferably immediately adjoin each other and each comprise a plurality of crossing rods (8, 9; 10, 11), at least two mixing elements consecutive along the longitudinal axis (L) among the plurality of mixing elements (3, 3a, 3b; 3b, 3c; 3c, 3d; etc.) being turned relative to each other by a twist angle of preferably 90 with respect to the longitudinal axis (L), the mixer insert (1) being composed of multiple separate mixer-insert parts (2, 2a, 2b) which each extend along the longitudinal axis and which are disposed adjacent to each other perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (L), each mixer-insert part (2, 2a, 2b) having a plurality of mixing-element parts (14, 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d, etc.; 15, 15a, 15b, 15c, 15d, etc.) which are disposed one behind the other along the longitudinal axis (L) and are integrally connected to each other along the longitudinal axis (L) and immediately adjoin each other, and that the mixing-element parts (14, 15; 14a, 15a; 14b, 15b; 14c, 15c, 14d, 15d; etc.) of the mixer-insert parts (2, 2a, 2b) that are disposed next to each other perpendicular to the longitudinal axis form one of the mixing elements (3, 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d, etc.), and that at least two of the mixing-element parts (14, 14a, 14b, 14c, 14d, etc.; 15, 15a, 15b, 15c, 15d, etc.) of the mixer-insert parts (2, 2a, 2b) that immediately adjoin each other along the longitudinal axis (L) are turned relative to each other by the twist angle with respect to the longitudinal axis (L).
