Patent ID: 8906241

Claim:
A method comprises: introducing ozone through a diffuser disposed in water, the diffuser having microporous media; forming an outflow from the diffuser of an aqueous solution consisting essentially of the water and suspended, homogenized bubbles in the water, the bubbles shearing off of exterior walls of the diffuser by flow of water around the walls, with the diffuser having microporous media with a submicron radius entrapping within the bubbles gaseous ozone molecules, with the bubbles having an initial ozone gas concentration in the bubbles in a range of 1% to 20% ozone having bubble interfaces between water and gas in the bubbles with the ozone molecules at the interface within the bubbles aligned to orientate oxygen atoms at ends of the ozone molecules outwards towards the interface to provide a net negative charge outwards towards the interface of the bubbles and a net positive charge from central atoms of the ozone molecules at the interface within the bubbles inwards towards the interior of the bubbles; and introducing the aqueous solution of the water and suspended, homogenized bubbles into a treatment target.
