Gas bubbles having such a small diameter shrink in water due to ions existing at the interface between gas and liquid, which in turn increases the ion concentration at the interface and raises the inner pressure and temperature of the bubbles, causing various phenomena to occur.
We think that taking advantage of these phenomena will provide many different possibilities.

In recent years, it was revealed that the micro-nano bubbles have a lot of useful properties. These include the following capabilities:

Sterilization capability:The agglomeration and collapse process of the micro-nano bubbles converts oxygen in the air into active oxygen, creating bactericidal molecules including OH and O3.

Cleaning capability: Ions existing at the gas-liquid interface of the micro-nano bubbles decompose and adsorb oil and fat contamination, which allows removal of the contamination without the need for cleaning agents.

Bio-activation capability: It has been proven that the micro-nano bubbles penetrate deep into biological cells and enhance the immunity of the cells. This has allowed elimination of the need for antibiotics or reduction of the amount of antibiotic usage.

Growth promotion capability: It has been verified that using the micro-nano bubbles allows fish, crustacea and plants to be grown 20 to 30 percent larger than those grown in an ordinary manner.

Cell protection capability: It has been found that oysters grown with the micro-nano bubbles remain alive even if they are frozen to minus 20°C. This is likely because the micro-nano bubbles protect oysters’ cells against damage due to freezing.

Heat transfer capability: The micro-nano bubbles can be used to raise or lower the temperature of a liquid rapidly and effectively.

Vaporization promotion capability: It has been proven that the micro-nano bubbles contained in a liquid promote vaporization of the liquid. Applications based on this effect include highly efficient water-cooled cooling towers and evaporation based desalination systems.

Environmental purification capability: The micro-nano bubbles help restore the biological balance in lakes, rivers or seas and remove odors and toxic substances produced by anaerobic bacteria. This effect stays for a long time even in a large water body such as oceans and seas.
