PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for preparing an artificial carbonated spring, capable of continuously generating carbonic acid gas in bath water and keeping high carbonic acid gas concentration for a long time (such as &ge1 h).SOLUTION: The method for preparing the artificial carbonated spring comprises perfectly dissolving an alkaline carbonate in bath water and adding an acid component (organic acid or inorganic acid) in the bath water as a liquid (aqueous solution). Thereby, reaction continues for a long time and the carbonic acid gas concentration in the bath water is kept at a high concentration.COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI【課題】浴湯中で継続的に炭酸ガスを発生させることができ、高濃度の炭酸ガス濃度を長時間(例えば1h以上)にわたり維持できる人工炭酸泉の調製方法を提供すること。【解決手段】アルカリ炭酸塩を浴湯に完全溶解させた状態で、酸成分(有機酸又は無機酸)を液状態(水溶液)として浴湯に添加する。長時間にわたり反応が継続して、浴湯中の炭酸ガス濃度を高濃度に維持される。【選択図】図1
