Abstrakt: The bubble-based aeration of water is very energy-intensive, and there is often rapid loss of oxygen from the dispersed (bubble) phase in water, owing to larger bubble sizes in the micro-, meso- and macro-range and their associated instability. This "nano-oxygenation" of water, in contrast, by air nanobubbles offers longer-lived levels of dissolved oxygen (both in traditional- and "nano"-dissolved senses). The present research details how the use of both submersible and continuous-flow air-nanobubble generators based on an electrostriction-generation principle can boost levels of total (i.e., traditionally- and nano-) dissolved air on a sustained and long-time basis.
