To improve ethanol enrichment performance using ultrasonic atomization, ultrafine bubbles (UFB) were added to an ethanol aqueous solution. The ethanol concentration in the solution and the flow rate of carrier gas were changed, and the effect of UFB on the ethanol concentration in the collected mist was investigated. For all conditions, the ethanol concentration in the collected mist with UFB was higher than that without UFB. Especially, the enrichment effect by UFB was remarkable when the ethanol concentration in the solution and the flow rate of carrier gas were low.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
