Dispersion of gaseous treating agents in liquids

Claim 1

THE METHOD OF DISPERSING IN LIQUID GASEOUS TREATING AGENTS CAPABLE OF BEING DISSOLVED THEREIN WHICH COMPRISES ENTRAINING THE GASEOUS TREATING AGENT IN A RELATIVELY SMALL VOLUME OF THE LIQUID TO BE TREATED, FORMING A FLOWING STREAM OF THE LIQUID AND ENTRAINED GASEOUS TREATING AGENT, COMPRESSING THE FLOWING THE STREAM OF LIQUID AND ENTRAINED GASEOUS TREATING AGENT, THE AMOUNT OF THE GASEOUS TREATING AGENT INTRODUCED INTO SAID RELATIVELY SMALL VOLUME OF LIQUID BEING SO CORRELATED WITH THE PRESSURE TO WHICH THE FLOWING STREAM OF LIQUID AND GASEOUS TREATING AGENT IS SUBJECTED THAT SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE DISSOLUTION OF THE GASEOUS TREATING AGENT IN THE LIQUID IS OBTAINED, AND INTRODUCING THE RESULTING SOLUTION, WITHOUT SUCH REDUCTION OF THE PRESSURE THEREON AS WOULD RESULT IN A RELEASE OF AN APPRECIABLE AMOUNT OF THE GASEOUS TREATING AGENT FROM THE SOLUTION, DIRECTLY INTO THE BALANCE OF THE LIQUID TO BE TREATED AT A LOWER PRESSURE, THE DIFFERENCE IN PRESSURE UNDER WHICH THE FLOWING STREAM OF LIQUID BEING TREATED AND THE SOLUTION, RESPECTIVELY, ARE MAINTAINED BEING SUCH THAT THE GAS OF SAID SOLUTION IS RELEASED INTO THE FLOWING STREAM OF THE LIQUID BEING TREATED IN A HIGHLY DISPERSED FORM.

Claim 2

THE METHOD OF DISPERSING IN LIQUID GASEOUS TREATING AGENTS CAPABLE OF BEING DISSOLVED THEREIN WHICH COMPRISES ENTRAINING THE GASEOUS TREATING AGENT IN A RELATIVELY SMALL VOLUME OF THE LIQUID TO BE TREATED, FORMING A FLOWING STREAM OF THE LIQUID AND ENTRAINED GASEOUS TREATING AGENT, COMPRESSING THE FLOWING THE STREAM OF LIQUID AND ENTRAINED GASEOUS TREATING AGENT, THE AMOUNT OF THE GASEOUS TREATING AGENT INTRODUCED INTO SAID RELATIVELY SMALL VOLUME OF LIQUID BEING SO CORRELATED WITH THE PRESSURE TO WHICH THE FLOWING STREAM OF LIQUID AND GASEOUS TREATING AGENT IS SUBJECTED THAT SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE DISSOLUTION OF THE GASEOUS TREATING AGENT IN THE LIQUID IS OBTAINED, AND INTRODUCING THE RESULTING SOLUTION, WITHOUT SUCH REDUCTION OF THE PRESSURE THEREON AS WOULD RESULT IN A RELEASE OF AN APPRECIABLE AMOUNT OF THE GASEOUS TREATING AGENT FROM THE SOLUTION, DIRECTLY INTO THE BALANCE OF THE LIQUID TO BE TREATED AT A LOWER PRESSURE, THE DIFFERENCE IN PRESSURE UNDER WHICH THE FLOWING STREAM OF LIQUID BEING TREATED AND THE SOLUTION, RESPECTIVELY, ARE MAINTAINED BEING SUCH THAT THE GAS OF SAID SOLUTION IS RELEASED INTO THE FLOWING STREAM OF THE LIQUID BEING TREATED IN A HIGHLY DISPERSED FORM.
