The device (1) includes a probe (6) configured to measure a concentration of the gas dissolved in water, and the probe (6) is arranged in the housing (100) of the device (1).

A method of generating bubbles of a first fluid in a second fluid, the method comprising: flowing a stream of the second fluid through a microfluidic channel; injecting a stream of the first fluid into the microfluidic channel through an aperture such that bubbles of the first fluid form in the second fluid; and sonicating the microfluidic channel with ultrasound so as to cause the bubbles formed at the aperture to divide.

Provided are: a microbubble generation device utilizing a swirling flow generated by injecting of a pressurized liquid; a microbubble generation method capable of generating a large amount of bubbles; and a shower apparatus and an oil-water separation apparatus having said microbubble generation device. This microbubble generation device comprises: a cylindrical or conical cylinder with a gas-liquid swirling chamber therein; a gas-liquid discharge inlet provided on one end of the cylindrical or conical cylinder; and a liquid supply cylinder and a gas supply cylinder for introducing a liquid and a gas into the gas-liquid swirling chamber. For the gas-liquid discharge outlet, a plurality of small cylindrical through-holes or a plurality of small recessed parts with a circular cross-section and at least a semicircular circumferential length, are respectively provided in the wall of a closed end at one end of the cylindrical or conical cylinder or on the circumferential surface of the inner wall of an open end at one end thereof.

A process for separation of a slurry by radially injecting a stream of a nanogas solution at a shear-focus volume within a pipe; passing an aqueous slurry through the pipe along a direction of flow and through the shear-focus volume; and shearing and/or admixing the slurry with the nanogas solution within the shear-focus volume.

A micro-bubble generator is provided between an input end and an output end of a water outlet device. The micro-bubble generator includes a water inlet member and a water outlet member. A gas inlet gap is remained between the water inlet member and the water outlet member, with the gas inlet gap being communicated to external air, such that the external air is allowed to enter the micro-bubble generator for gas-liquid mixing and generate minute and dense bubbles.

A water treatment system includes a water passage, a magnet and a hydroxyl radical generator. Water flows through the water passage. The magnet is adjacent to the water passage and produces a magnetic field in the water passage, The hydroxyl radical generator generates hydroxyl radicals in the water in the water passage. A water treatment method includes the steps of providing a water passage, producing a magnetic field in the water passage, flowing water through the magnetic field and generating, while the water is in the magnetic field, hydroxyl radicals in the water. The water can be recirculated through the water passage a number of times.

The invention discloses a faucet capable of discharging ozone water, which includes a faucet body; an ozone generator; a water-gas mixer which includes a water inlet and a water outlet respectively located at two ends, wherein the water-gas mixer is arranged on a water outlet pipeline of the faucet body through the water inlet and the water outlet, an inner diameter reducing portion is formed in the water-gas mixer, a gas inlet is arranged at a position of a side wall of the water-gas mixer corresponding to the inner diameter reducing portion, and the gas inlet is communicated with the ozone generator; and a sensor arranged on the faucet body and used to receive an inductive signal to switch on or switch off the ozone generator.

A bubble generating device is disclosed which includes: a bubble generator including a tubular body, a liquid introduction port, a gas introduction port, and a discharge port; and a gas supply unit including a gas supply port, a pressurized gas being supplied to the bubble generator through the gas supply port, wherein the flow passage of the bubble generator extends substantially along a same axis, a plurality of reduced diameter portions each having an inner diameter reduced are provided along a direction along which the liquid flows, and gas-liquid mixing portions are provided downstream of the respective reduced diameter portions in a contiguous manner, each of the gas-liquid mixing portions having an inner diameter larger than a minimum inner diameter of each of the plurality of reduced diameter portions, and the gas introduction port of the bubble generator is formed of a plurality of through holes.
