Electrochemical Performance of Ultrafine Bubble Water

Abstract

The electrochemical performance of ultrafine bubble (UFB) water , is reported herein. Recently, UFB has found applications in various fields, However, the detailed mechanism underlying the performance of UFB is not known, although the relevance of ions (proton and hydroxide ion) in solution has been discussed. Therefore, we investigated UFB through electrochemical measurements. First, we conducted a preliminary experiment in an ultrafine bubble generator (BUVITAS HYK-32-D, KYOWA KISETSU) and a measuring device for the concentration of microparticles (NANOSIGHT LM-10, Quantum Design, Inc.) . We also measured the electrical conductivity (S230, Mettler Toledo) and pH (LAQUA F-73, Horiba co. Ltd.) and found that the amount of flowing gas and the gas species did not influence the UFB concentration.
