ンの比率が大きくなった溶液が分離できる。In the present invention, when a solution containing metal ions having different masses is irradiated with ultrasonic waves to generate atomized particles, the light metal ions are more likely to be accelerated by the acceleration of ultrasonic waves. Since it is easy to receive force, it is easily atomized together with the solution, and since many light metal ions are contained in the atomized particles, the atomized particles are guided to the collection chamber, and the atomized particles are forcibly forced by a rotating blade or the like. When liquefied, a solution containing a large proportion of light metal ions can be separated.

属イオンであると言える。Here, the light metal ion means one having a value of a 2 / M larger than that of other metal ions to be compared, where ionic radius is a and mass M is, for example, iron (Fe) and yttrium ( Y) and Fe (M = 56, a = 0.
67Å), Y (M = 89, a = 1.06Å), and a
The value of 2 / M is larger for yttrium (Y), which means that it is a light metal ion.

Further, the residual solution contains a large amount of heavy metal ions, and by atomizing the residual solution, the ratio of heavy metal ions in the residual solution is further increased, and light metal ions and heavy metal ions are separated. Can be collected.
