A method of separating a liquid atomizes a mixed liquid containing a
plurality of components into an atomized fine particle by an ultrasonic
vibration to obtain a mixed fluid of the atomized fine particle and air,
separates the air from the mixed fluid and collects an atomized
component, and separates the atomized component into liquids having
different component contents. The method of separating a liquid atomizes
the liquid while supplying a carrier gas heated with the thermal energy
of the outside air to the surface of the liquid to be atomized or
supplies the outside air to the surface of the liquid to be atomized,
thereby atomizing the liquid while supplying the thermal energy of the
outside air to the surface of the liquid.
