Abstract: A conductive aqueous solution production device 1 has an ion exchange device 2 mounted on the way of the main pipe 11 supplying ultrapure water W as raw water, a supply pipe 12 which joins the main pipe 11 on the downstream side of the ion exchange device 2, and a conductivity-imparting substance supply device 3. For example, if the conductivity-imparting substance is ammonia, since the ions are cations, that is, ammonium ions (NH4+), it is preferable that an ion exchanger which fills the ion exchange device 2 be a cation exchange resin. If the conductivity-imparting substance is carbon dioxide, the ions are anions, that is, bicarbonate ions (HCO3?) or carbonate ions (CO32?), and therefore it is preferable that the ion exchange device 2 be filled with an anion exchange resin. Such a conductive aqueous solution production device is capable of producing a conductive aqueous solution with a stable concentration, and achieves excellent follow-up performance with respect to a change in concentration.
