Apparatus and methods for dissolving a gas into a liquid comprises a saturation tank, a high pressure liquid pump in fluid communication with the tank, and a pressurized gas source in communication with a regulated gas head space of the saturation tank. The saturation tank comprises a pressure vessel for containing the liquid and has a regulated gas head space above the liquid, contains at least one liquid spray nozzle that permits passage of liquid into the pressure vessel, and an outlet for the liquid containing dissolved gas. Upon passing the gas-containing liquid into a second fluid, the gas is released in the form of microbubbles. The microbubbles aid in flocculation of suspended particles and promote dissolution of the gas in the second fluid. Preferred gases for use with the apparatus are oxygen, air, and ozone. Anticipated uses include treatment of rivers, streams, and ponds in natural or industrial settings, as well as smaller scale applications.

Process, apparatus, compositions and application modes are provided that relate to nanofiber spinning without the use of superacids in the spinning solution. The methods employ either acids or bases for a flocculation solution. The advances disclosed therein enable the use of nanofibers, including carbon nanotubes, for a variety of applications including, but not limited to, electromechanical actuators, supercapacitors, electronic textiles, and in devices for electrical energy harvesting.

Disclosed is a non-aqueous inkjet ink containing certain titanium dioxide slurries, an associated inkjet ink set for inkjet printing, and a method of inkjet printing with the inkjet ink or ink set. The solvent and mixtures of solvents used for the dispersed titanium dioxide have a hydrogen bonding solubility parameter of greater than about 9. The inks have improved anti-settling properties with less pigment agglomeration and flocculation over time such that they can be utilized to prepare a stable inkjet ink. Also described is the use of this ink to print on colored or transparent surfaces.

A washing machine with a circulated water treatment function and a control method therefor. The washing machine comprises a water holding barrel (2), a washing structure arranged inside the water holding barrel (2) and a circulated water treatment device arranged under the water holding barrel (2), wherein the circulated water treatment device comprises a flocculation treatment unit and a filtering unit, the flocculation treatment unit comprises a flocculation container (10) connected to the water holding barrel (2) and a flocculation agent dosing device (11) for dosing a flocculation agent into the flocculation container (10), and water is discharged from the water holding barrel (2) to the flocculation container (10) for flocculation treatment; and the filtering unit comprises a filtering container (12) and a filter net (13) arranged inside the filtering container (12), the filtering container (12) is in communication with the flocculation container (10) and the water holding barrel (2), respectively, for filtering the water having been flocculation-treated in the flocculation container (10) and discharging same again into the water holding barrel (2) for reuse. The washing machine circularly treats water by flocculation and filtration till the end of washing, in which the water is discharged into the circulated water treatment device for purification in the flocculation treatment unit and the filtering unit and finally discharged outside. The washing machine has the advantages of saving water resources, reducing water pollution and protecting the environment.
