Water is an essential resource, while the fresh water supply is limited. The growing population increases the demand for fresh water and also results in an increased amount of waste being discharged into the environment, causing more pollution to the clean water source. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) statistics, in 2012, 7.48 million people could not obtain improved drinking water, and 25 million people could not enjoy improved water-based sanitation facilities. It is estimated that the number of deaths per year from diarrhea due to drinking water contamination is 502,000. Therefore, it is highly desirable to develop effective and economical water treatment techniques.
Over the past decade, micro-and nanobubbles have been increasingly studied and applied ([4 ]; [5 ]; [6 ]; [7 ]; [8] and [9 ]). Generally, bubbles having a diameter size of less than 1mm are called microbubbles. Currently, there is no generally accepted classification in terms of size for each type of bubble. Takahashi defines microbubbles as bubbles that are less than 50 microns in diameter and tend to reduce in size and subsequently collapse under water. ([10]).
Khuntia ([11]) and p.arumudam ([12]) describe four basic techniques for generating microbubbles, namely, a spiral fluid flow pattern, a venturi tube type, an ejector type, and a pressure-reducing type. [1] An integrated nanobubble generating device is disclosed, which includes a three-way electronic valve, a pressure tank integrated with components forming part of the system, and a power section that can be selectively adapted to expand the range of use of the system. [2] A generating device is disclosed that includes a housing, a pair of feed ports, a pair of microporous sleeve membranes disposed longitudinally with respect to the housing to generate a fluid flow containing bubbles of less than 10 microns. It is proposed to use a pressure tank and a filter to control the size of the bubbles. However, the use of pressure tanks to generate nanobubbles may result in increased cost or bulky system designs in some applications. [3] A method of generating nanobubbles in a liquid using a bamboo filter without the use of any external mechanical force is disclosed. However, bamboo is a natural material without oxidation resistance. When nanobubbles are created using a strongly oxidizing gas such as ozone, the ozone gas will oxidize and damage the bamboo filter that generates the bubbles.

Detailed Description
In the following description, a system and method of generating oxidizing bubbles are set forth as preferred examples. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications, including additions and/or substitutions, may be made without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention. Specific details may be omitted so as not to obscure the invention; the present disclosure, however, is written to enable one skilled in the art to practice the teachings herein without undue experimentation.
According to various embodiments of the present invention, there is provided a system for generating oxidizing bubbles in a fluid, comprising: a fluid inlet tube; a first venturi tube; an assembly having micropores or microgaps of less than about 50 microns for delivering a medium having oxidizing properties into a fluid, wherein the assembly may be a membrane or container attached to the end of one or more tubes through which the medium is injected into the assembly; a chamber surrounding the assembly with a gap of less than or equal to about 0.5mm between a wall of the chamber and the assembly, wherein the chamber forms a vortex to increase contact time between a medium having oxidizing properties and the fluid and to create oxidizing bubbles in the fluid; a fluid outlet pipe for discharging the oxidizing bubbles in the fluid. Optionally, a second venturi is included for varying the bubble diameter of the generated oxidizing bubbles.
Refer to fig. 1. According to one embodiment, the fluid is introduced into the venturi 2 through a fluid inlet tube 1. The fluid introduced from venturi 2 is mixed with the oxidizer delivered from assembly 3 having micro-pores and/or micro-gaps, wherein the assembly may be a membrane or container attached to the end of one or more tubes in which the reagents are injected into assembly 3. The oxidizing bubbles in the fluid formed in the chamber 4 are introduced into a fluid outlet pipe 5 for discharging the oxidizing bubbles in the fluid, the chamber 4 being configured to create a swirling flow of the fluid therein to create a reduced pressure in the flow center core. The swirling flow of the fluid is generated by the fluid inlet pipe 1 creating an accelerated inlet fluid flow as the fluid passes through the throat of the venturi 2 en route to the chamber 4. The fluid inlet tube 1, the venturi tube 2, the assembly 3 with micro-holes and/or micro-gaps, the chamber 4 and the fluid outlet tube 5 are preferably made of a material having oxidation resistance.
In this embodiment, the fluid inlet pipe 1 connected to the venturi pipe 2 forms an accelerated inlet fluid flow when the fluid reaches the chamber 4 through the throat of the venturi pipe 2 on the way, so as to mix the fluid with the medium with oxidizing properties delivered from the assembly 3 with micro-pores and/or micro-gaps. The medium with oxidizing properties is injected into the module 3 through one or more pipes 3a connected to the module 3. The spiral fluid flow formed within the chamber 4 creates a reduced pressure central core such that the oxidizing bubbles on the pore or slit surfaces of the component 3 experience a strong separating force. Thus, oxidizing bubbles having a maximum diameter of less than about 500nm may be produced. The preferred pore size or slit diameter of the pores or microgap of the assembly 3 delivering the medium with oxidizing properties into the chamber 4 is less than about 50 microns, more preferably less than about 10 microns. The preferred clearance between the walls of the chamber 4 and the component 3 is less than or equal to about 0.1mm to 0.5 mm. Its purpose is to assist in creating a swirling flow of fluid.
Preferred media having oxidizing properties comprise at least one oxidizing compound including, but not limited to, air, oxygen, and ozone. Preferably, the fluid may be selected from the group consisting of water, distilled water, deionized water, ultrapure water, aqueous solutions, seawater, wastewater, and oils. And may deliver the fluid flow to the fluid inlet tube 1 by any magnetic or submersible pump. The maximum diameter of the oxidation bubbles produced by the preferred embodiment of the present invention is less than about 500nm, and possibly less than 450nm produced by the more preferred example.
Refer to fig. 2. According to another embodiment, a system for generating oxidizing gas bubbles in a fluid is provided, wherein the bubble diameter of the generated oxidizing gas bubbles is varied by means of the second venturi tube 6. Fluid is directed into the venturi 2 through a fluid inlet tube 1. The fluid introduced from the venturi 2 is mixed with the oxidizer delivered from the assembly 3 having micro-holes and/or micro-gaps. The medium with oxidizing properties is injected into the module 3 through one or more pipes 3a connected to the module 3. The oxidizing bubbles in the fluid formed in the chamber 4 are led into the fluid outlet pipe 5 after passing through the second venturi tube 6. The second venturi tube 6 is preferably made of a material having oxidation resistance. The second venturi tube 6 is used to change the bubble diameter of the generated oxidation bubbles.
