Abstract:
1. An ultrasonic solution separator for separating a target material from a solution containing the target material, the ultrasonic solution separator comprising: An ultrasonic atomization chamber for receiving the solution containing the target material; An ultrasonic oscillator for producing mist from the solution in the ultrasonic atomization chamber with ultrasonic oscillation; A power supply for ultrasonic connected to the ultrasonic oscillator, the power supply being operable to supply high-frequency power to the ultrasonic oscillator so that the ultrasonic oscillator oscillates at an ultrasonic frequency; A carrier gas contained in the ultrasonic solution separator; A collection portion for transporting the mist produced by the ultrasonic oscillator with the carrier gas and aggregating and collecting the mist included in the carrier gas; and A vapor heater for heating the carrier gas, the vapor heater being located at the inlet side of the ultrasonic atomization chamber so that heated carrier gas is circulated into the ultrasonic atomization chamber, Wherein the mist produced in the ultrasonic atomization chamber is aggregated and collected by means of the collection portion, Wherein the temperature of carrier gas in the ultrasonic atomization chamber is at least 5° C. higher than the carrier gas in the collection portion.
