Abstract: A process for separation of a slurry by radially injecting a stream of a nanogas solution at a shear-focus volume within a pipe; passing an aqueous slurry through the pipe along a direction of flow and through the shear-focus volume; and shearing and/or admixing the slurry with the nanogas solution within the shear-focus volume.

Abstract: Herein are provided tools and processes for extracting oil from subterranean formation. The processes can include lightening the oil in the formation prior to extraction by the addition of a nanogas solution. The tools include injectors for the formation of the nanogas solution within the subterranean formation.

Abstract: Herein is provided processes for affecting the separation of oil from emulsions by the addition of nanogas solutions. For example, the nanogas solutions can be used to affect the viscosity and/or density of oil droplets in oil-in-water emulsions, break the oil-in-water emulsion; and form an oil phase floating on a water phase. In another example, the nanogas solutions can be used in conjunction with a floatation tank to separate oil from, for example, produced water. In other examples selection of the gasses in the nanogas solution can be used to affect reactions and/or separation.

Abstract: A process includes converting dioxygen in oxygen nanobubbles to ozone by exposure of the dioxygen to UV light in a UV reactor.

Abstract: Herein is provided a process which includes hydraulically fracturing a subterranean formation with a fracking fluid that includes a nanobubble solution. Alternatively, herein is provide a process that includes hydraulically fracturing a subterranean formation that includes nanobubbles with a fracking fluid that may or may not include a nanobubbles.

Abstract: A machine and process for providing a gas liquid mixture are described. The process can include providing a pressurized fluid stream; and subjecting the fluid stream to a series of alternating flow regions that include a plurality of laminar flow regions and turbulent flow regions. The machine can include a flow path from a pressure vessel to an ejection point, where the flow path includes a plurality of alternating flow characteristic regions.
