Abstract

Ultrasound was irradiated to ultrapure water. Ultrafine bubbles with a diameter of 90 - 100 nm were generated. Number concentration of ultrafine bubbles increased with time and approached asymptotically to an equilibrium value. Ultrafine bubble concentration increased with increasing ultrasonic power and decreasing frequency. For comparison, highly concentrated ultrafine bubble water was prepared by pressurized dissolution method, and ultrasound was also irradiated to the ultrafine bubble water. Reduction of ultrafine bubbles was observed and ultrafine bubble concentration decreased to the equilibrium value. Ultrafine bubble concentration decreased with increasing ultrasonic power and frequency. Generation and reduction of ultrafine bubbles by ultrasound was modeled to analyze experimental data. The results calculated by our model were in good agreement with the experimental data.
