Bubbles coalescence: Hydrofobic particles effect

This paper presents an experimental methodology to capture and record an image sequence to observe and quantitatively characterize bubble coalescence phenomenon. The effect of the solids attached onto the bubble surface and its interaction with other bubbles both empty and loaded are examined. In ad...

Summary:This paper presents an experimental methodology to capture and record an image sequence to observe and quantitatively characterize bubble coalescence phenomenon. The effect of the solids attached onto the bubble surface and its interaction with other bubbles both empty and loaded are examined. In addition, a coalescence mechanism in the froth zone of flotation columns and some experimental results obtained at the laboratory scale are discussed.
