【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、水の浄化等に利用される気泡発生装置に関するものであって、特に、超微細な気泡を発生させることができる超微細気泡発生装置に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
微細気泡は水中に含まれている有機物を気泡の表面に吸着させて水面上に浮上させることができるため、水質浄化や水棲生物の育成等に効果があるとされており、例えば、特開平4−325042号公報に開示されている養魚用水浄化装置には、ポーラス状の軽石等から成る散気モジュール等を使用して気泡を発生させることにより、養魚用水の浄化を行うことが記載されている。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかし、上記散気モジュールから発生する気泡によって水中の汚濁物質を吸着して浮上分散する浄化装置の場合は、或る程度のレベルまでは浄化可能であるが、極めて微細(超微細)な汚濁粒子を吸着捕集することが難しくて、汚濁物質を完全に取り除くことができなかった。
【0004】
微細な汚濁粒子(汚濁物質)を吸着捕集するには、それに匹敵する微細な気泡を多数発生させて処理水に対して大きな接触面積を持たせる必要があるが、上記公報に記載されている軽石のようなポーラス材では気泡の大きさに限度があり、また、微細な穴の場合は汚濁物質が直ぐに詰って気泡を発生できなくなる問題があった。
【0005】
また、強力なエアーを送って上記汚濁物質の詰りを解消しようとすると、ポンプの能力を高め、且つ、配管関係の耐圧強度を高めなくてはならないため、設備的に大掛かりになってコスト高になる問題があった。
【0006】
従って本発明の技術的課題は、比較的簡単な構造の装置を用いて、超微細な気泡を継続して発生させることができる超微細気泡発生装置を提供することである。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記の技術的課題を解決するために本発明で講じた手段は以下の如くである。
【0008】

【0010】
) 水を沸騰させるための加熱沸騰手段が、導電性材料で造った流路を電気的に加熱する加熱装置であること。(請求項
【0011】
上記()で述べた請求項に係る手段によれば、投げ込み式の気泡発生装置として用いて効果を発揮できるものであって、処理対象水の中に気泡発生装置を投げ込んで、吸い込んだ処理対象水を加熱沸騰手段で加熱沸騰させて流路から処理対象水の中に還元させれば、沸騰した水は気化膨張して水蒸気となり、この水蒸気が処理対象水の中に噴射され、これが超微細な気泡となって処理対象水の中を次第に浮上するものであって、上記処理対象水の循環と加熱沸騰を継続して行うことにより、超微細な気泡を連続して発生させることを可能にする。
【0012】
上記()で述べた請求項に係る手段によれば、流路を例えば金属パイプのような導電性パイプで造り、そのパイプに電流を流して加熱したり、高周波で加熱したり、或は、発熱素子を用いて加熱することにより、水を加熱沸騰して処理対象水側に送り出せば、超微細な気泡を発生させることを可能にする。
るため、処理対象水に対する酸素の供給をより促進させることを可能にする。

It was difficult to adsorb and collect the pollutant, and the contaminants could not be completely removed.
[0004]
In order to adsorb and collect fine pollutant particles (pollutant substances), it is necessary to generate a large number of fine bubbles comparable to that to have a large contact area with the treated water. Porous materials such as pumice have a limit on the size of bubbles, and in the case of fine holes, there is a problem that bubbles cannot be generated due to the clogging of contaminants.
