    摘要: An apparatus for accelerated dissolution of carbonates with buffered pH. The apparatus includes a mixer, a dissolution reactor and a pH correction reactor. The mixer includes: a chamber; a water supply; a carbonic gas supply; and a carbonate supply. Water, carbonic gas and carbonate are provided to the chamber in predetermined continuous flow rates to obtain a design flow rate of lean mixture at the outlet. The dissolution reactor includes a duct connected to the chamber receiving the lean mixture and allowing at least partial dissolution of the carbonate which transforms the lean mixture into an ionic mixture according to the reaction CaCO3+CO2+H2O□ Ca(HCO3)2. The pH correction reactor comprises a duct and a hydroxide supply. The mixture is then released into the sea. Embodiments also relate to a method for the accelerated dissolution of carbonates with buffered pH for the permanent sequestration of CO2 in the sea in the form of bicarbonates.

    摘要: There is provided a gas solution supply apparatus capable of preventing bubbles from being generated in use at a point-of-use even if gas solution to be provided to a point-of-use has a high concentration. The gas solution supply apparatus 1 includes: a gas dissolving unit 4 that dissolves a source gas in a source liquid to produce a first gas solution; a first gas-liquid separator 10 that stores the first gas solution produced and produces a second gas solution through gas-liquid separation of the first gas solution; a pressure reducer 17 that depressurizes the second gas solution produced in the first gas-liquid separator 10; and a second gas-liquid separator 12 that stores the depressurized second gas solution and produces a third gas solution through gas-liquid separation of the second gas solution. The third gas solution is supplied to a point-of-use.
