CO2 Microbubble Tablet Composition for Continuous Chlorine Removal
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional carbon dioxide gas bathing agents and micro-bubble generators are ineffective in maintaining chlorine removal and blood flow promotion due to rapid dissolution and interference from chlorine in tap water, leading to reduced warming and health benefits during showers.
Innovation Solution
A specially granulated carbon dioxide gas tablet with high hardness and specific composition, including sodium bicarbonate, citric acid, and chlorine-neutralizing compounds, is used in a micro-bubble generator to continuously produce fine bubbles and remove chlorine throughout dissolution, ensuring effective blood flow promotion and warming effects.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Quantity of substance
If carbonic acid gas is dissolved in water using conventional methods, then carbonic acid gas can be supplied, but it is impossible to supply fine carbonic acid gas bubbles that remain suspended in the water
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the physical parameters of the system by controlling temperature (cooling to 0-10°C) and pressure (maintaining 1-5 atm) to create supersaturated conditions. This parameter change allows carbonic acid gas to form fine bubbles that remain suspended in water, resolving the contradiction between gas quantity and suspension stability.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a new dimension of control by using a multi-stage process with intermediate cooling and pressure maintenance zones. This dimensional approach to process control enables the formation and suspension of fine bubbles throughout the water column, rather than simple dissolution at a single point.
2Quantity of substance
If carbonic acid gas is dissolved in water, then carbonic acid gas can be supplied, but the dissolved carbonic acid gas separates from the water upon contact with air
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary cooling and pressurization of water before introducing carbonic acid gas, creating a supersaturated state that pre-prevents gas separation. This preliminary action ensures that when the carbonated water is later exposed to air, the gas remains dissolved due to the established pressure-temperature conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses intermediate storage tanks and pressure maintenance systems as a cushioning mechanism between the carbonation process and final product delivery. This cushioning prevents sudden pressure changes that would cause gas separation, maintaining reliable gas retention throughout the system.
3Quantity of substance
If a carbonating device is used to dissolve carbonic acid gas in water, then carbonic acid gas can be supplied, but the device is large in size
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the carbonation process into multiple smaller stages: initial carbonation, intermediate cooling/pressurization, and final dispensing. Each stage uses smaller, more compact equipment rather than one large carbonating device, reducing overall system volume while maintaining effective carbonic acid gas dissolution.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces intermediate storage tanks and heat exchangers as mediators between the carbonation source and final product. These intermediary components allow the system to use smaller, distributed equipment rather than requiring a single large carbonating device, achieving the same carbonation effect with reduced device size.

AI summary
[Problem] A preparation of forming bubbles of carbon dioxide gas which is put into a micro-bubble generator is realized, unlike a conventional tablet, as a tablet which can retain an ability to neutralize and remove completely chlorine contained in tap water from start of dissolution of the tablet inside the micro-bubble generator to the completion of dissolution thereof, thereby providing a method for producing micro-bubbles of carbon dioxide gas by using the tablet and a device thereof. [Solution] There is provided a method for producing carbon dioxide gas/micro-bubbles mixed water in which a carbonated bathing agent is a tablet which is 7 mm or more both in tablet diameter and tablet thickness, 15 kg or more in tablet hardness, 10 wt% or less in tablet friability and from 5.5 to 9.0 in pH immediately after dissolution of the tablet in hot water and the carbonated bathing agent contains at least one of the following body rendering agents and contains at least one of the following chlorine neutralizing compounds.
