A washing machine according to the present invention comprises: a cabinet which forms an outer shape; a tub which is disposed inside of the cabinet, and in which washing water is stored; a pump which circulates the washing water stored in the tub; a circulating nozzle which sprays, into the inside of the tub, the washing water supplied from the pump; a circulating hose which connects the pump to the tub, and guides the circulated washing water to the circulating nozzle; and an atomizing unit which is disposed on the circulating hose, and atomizes the circulated washing water by mixing air. The washing machine according to the present invention supplies, into the inside of the tub through an air mixer, washing water in which air is included, and thus has an advantage of reducing the total flow rate of the used washing water.

A liquid dispensing device includes a needle. The needle is adapted to penetrate a container without tearing out a portion of the container. The portion of the container is near a point of penetration on the container. The liquid dispensing device includes a motion control system. The motion control system is configured to rotate the needle while the needle penetrates the container.

A gas dissolved liquid manufacturing device includes: a pump configured to pressurize a liquid; a pipe communicating with the pump; a nozzle disposed in the pipe, the nozzle being configured to generate micro bubbles using a supplied gas; and a gas-liquid separation tank whose upper part communicates with the pipe, the gas-liquid separation tank being configured to separate a gas-liquid mixture generated by the nozzle into a gas and a liquid.

A method for enhancing mixing and aeration of a liquid reaction medium in a toroidal bioreactor vessel includes dispensing a liquid reaction medium into an interior of a toroidal bioreactor vessel, the interior being bounded by an inner surface, a textured surface being arranged on at least a portion of the inner surface, the textured surface having a plurality of upstanding protuberances. The toroidal bioreactor vessel is rotated in an orbital motion such that there is a resonant frequency traveling wave of the fluid orbiting in one direction in the interior of the toroidal bioreactor vessel when a particular orbital speed is imparted to the toroidal bioreactor vessel.

It is to intermittently and effectively generate large bubbles in a liquid phase. A bubble generation device 1 intermittently generates large bubbles a2 in a liquid phase. The bubble generation device 1 includes a bubble storing container 3, a pivot 4, and a pair of edge portion receivers 5a, 5b. The bubble storing container 3 stores bubbles a1 generated by a gas supply nozzle 2 in the liquid. The pivot 4 allows the bubble storing container 3 to pivot thereon, thereby releasing the large bubbles a2 from the bubble storing container 3. The pair of edge portion receivers 5a, 5b receives and blocks an edge portion of the bubble storing container 3 to limit pivot of the bubble storing container 3. An inside of the bubble storing container 3 is partitioned by a partition 30 that is installed in an axial direction of the pivot 4.

A microbubble generator and a laundry treating device. The microbubble generator includes: an air dissolving tank, having an air dissolving cavity defined therein, and an inlet and an outlet configured to allow water to flow in and out, the inlet being located above the outlet; a baffle, provided in the air dissolving tank, at least partially located between the inlet and the outlet in a horizontal direction, and provided with a gap and/or a through hole; and a cavitator, provided outside the air dissolving tank and connected with the outlet, or provided at the outlet.

A carbonator dissolver nozzle for introducing CO2-gas into a beverage with a carbonator. The nozzle is adapted to protrude downward from the carbonator and into a beverage bottle that may be fastened to the carbonator. The nozzle comprises an upstream end that is adapted to be attached to the carbonator, a downstream end that is adapted to be immersed in the beverage within the bottle, and a conduit leading though the nozzle from the upstream end to the downstream end. At least the portion of the nozzle that is immersed in the beverage during use is entirely made of metal, or said portion consists of parts entirely made of metal with non-metal sealing material between said parts, wherein said portion has an outer surface of metal. A method of manufacture of a carbonator dissolver nozzle is also described.

There is provided an inline saturator system and method for gas exchange with an aqueous-phase liquid. The system comprises a pressure vessel, configured to receive a first liquid and a first gas from external sources and to discharge a second liquid and a second gas from the pressure vessel, and a gas infusion device situated within the pressure vessel. The gas infusion device is configured to receive the first liquid and first gas, to facilitate gas exchange therebetween, producing the second liquid and the second gas, and to discharge the second liquid and second gas into the pressure vessel. The system further includes a recirculation system configured to direct a portion of liquid within the pressure vessel back into the saturator device, where injection of the redirected liquid into the gas infusion device forces the first liquid into the gas infusion device for the gas exchange.

A water treatment tank includes: a tank body including a bottom surface extending in a horizontal direction; an overflow wall partitioning the inside of the tank body into an upstream tank into which treatment water having absorbed sulfur from an exhaust gas is introduced and a downstream tank into which the treatment water overflowing from the upstream tank is introduced to flow therein; and an inclined part that is provided between the bottom surface of the tank body and the overflow wall in the downstream tank and is inclined downward as it goes from the overflow wall toward a downstream side inside the downstream tank to be connected to the bottom surface of the tank body.

This invention provides a continuous liquid phase type wet exhaust gas treatment method for removing sulfur oxides from exhaust gas and collecting it as gypsum, which method is simple and humidifying liquid is uniformly sprayed into exhaust gas with it. The method is characterized in that humidifying liquid is injected downwardly in a region where exhaust gas flows vertically downwardly.
