Provided is a liquid
processing apparatus and a liquid
processing method for reducing a waste amount of a high
specific gravity liquid. The liquid
processing apparatus (10) includes: a supply pump (15); a bubble tank (23) including an inflow port (23a), an overflow port (23b), and a return port (23c); a microbubble generator (17) disposed outside the bubble tank (23); a
recovery tank (29) having a
recovery port (31a) to recover the processing liquid (5) overflown from a first liquid level (14) to the tank (9); a separation tank (41) including a
settling tank (44) connected to the overflow port (23b), and a floating tank (43) connected to the
settling tank (44) at a lower portion, and an ejector (46) having a inlet port (46a) connected to the supply pump (15), a suction port (46b) connected the suction body (45), and a
discharge port (46c) connected to the return port (23c).
