Assignee: THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
Field: Environmental technology (Chemistry)
Classification: CPC C  A | IPC A  C

Claim 6:
7. A method of producing nanobubbles, said method comprising:
subjecting a solution to an alternating magnetic field (AMF) system comprising:
a pipe (110) with an enclosed core (120) mounted within the pipe, the core (120) extends along a length of the pipe (110) while allowing the solution to flow through the pipe (110) and around the core (120) without entering the core (120), wherein a plurality of magnets (130) is housed in the core (120) oriented north end-to-north end and south end-to-south end, the magnets (130) expose the solution to an alternating magnetic field;
wherein the core (120) is shaped such that the liquid flows straight through the pipe (110), wherein a ratio of an outer diameter of the enclosed core (120) and an inner diameter of the pipe (110) is 1:3 to 35:64;
wherein the AMF system destabilizes gas molecules having been dissolved in the solution to precipitate nanobubbles comprising the gas molecules.
