1. A process comprising:
providing a pipe having a direction of flow from an upstream location to downstream location;
carrying a slurry within the pipe in the direction of flow;
the pipe carrying a plurality of spray nozzles each having an outlet orifice in fluid communication with the slurry in the pipe;
each outlet orifice having a center line at an angle selected from about 15° to about 85° or from about −15° to about −85° to the direction of flow;
injecting a nanogas solution into the pipe via the spray nozzles; and
shearing and/or admixing the slurry with the nanogas solution thereby forming an admixture.
