  • Patent number: 5024952
    Abstract: Solutes are obtained from liquid menstrua by bubbling gas through the liquid menstrua wherein solute passes to the interface between the bubble and the liquid menstrum and/or into the gas within the bubble. The bubble breaks the surface of the liquid menstruum and defines an entrainment zone which is subjected to electromagnetic radiation to maintain solute in the vapor space. The recovered solute may, for instance, be subjected to analytical analysis.
