Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Ultrafine bubbles (Nanobubbles: UFB), which are fine bubbles with a bubble diameter of 1 μm or less, have been studied in a wide variety real application fields and have been put for practical use. The toilet cleaning with NB water is already in practical use, and the reduction of cleaning time, relief of adhesion of urine stones and other benefits are reported. However, its mechanism is not make clear yet. In this study, the quantitative analysis of UFB effect for inhibition and cleaning of scale, urea stone, was determined and its mechanism was considered. UFB would increase the adhesion amount of scale, but it can be easily removed. It is suggests that the scale inhibition could not observed with UFB, but UFB may be able to take scale structure brittle. For the removal of solid accumulation on a membrane, it was indicated that cleaning of fouling using UFB and heat is effective.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究により、尿石が脆くなることで剥離性が向上することがわかり、配管や膜ファウリングなどの各種洗浄における蓄積性の汚れ(付着物)の抑制や剥離労力の削減が可能であることを実証した。そのメカニズムも検討したため、社会的意義として、通水方法や洗浄方法、またその条件の改善や最適化に資する知見を得た。学術的には、UFBによる個体生成時の脆化についての知見を蓄積でき、気液固の3相の界面反応の複雑さを解き明かす一片の知見を得た。
