Effects of Surfactant on Bubble Size Distribution and Gas Hold-up in a Bubble Column

Interactional effects of bubble size, particle size, and collector dosage on bubble loading in column flotation

The success of flotation operation depends upon the thriving interactions of chemical and physical variables. In this work, the effects of particle size, bubble size, and collector dosage on the bubble loading in a continuous flotation column were investigated. In other words, this work was mainly concerned with the evaluation of the true flotation response to the changes in the operating varia...

Gas hold-up and bubble diameters in a gassed oscillatory ba'ed column

In this paper attempts are made to address how bubble behaviour in a batch oscillatory ba'ed column (OBC) contributes to the overall measured enhancement in mass transfer. A CCD camera is used to measure the bubble size distribution and the gas hold-up in the OBC. The experimental results of Sauter mean diameter and gas hold-up are correlated as a function of the power dissipation and super5cia...

Investigation of Gas Hold-up and Bubble Behavior in a Split-Cylinder Airlift Reactor: Pseudo-Plastic Non-Newtonian Fluids

Study of the Particle Size Effect on Bubble Rise Velocities in a Three-Phase Bubble Column

Experiments were performed in a three-phase bubble column to study variations of bubble rise velocities. The dynamic gas disengagement (DGD) technique and the fast response pressure transducers were utilized to investigate the bubble rise in the column. The superficial gas velocity of large bubbles and small bubbles, the rise velocities of larger and small bubble fractions were studied consider...

Single Bubble Sonoluminescence and Bubble Surface Stability in Surfactant Solutions

The radial dynamics of a single sonoluminescing bubble has been investigated in surfactant solutions. Experimental results show that an increase in the surfactant concentration leads to a decline in the oscillation amplitude and hence light emission intensity. Numerical simulations support this result, showing that under the driving pressures required to achieve single bubble sonoluminescence (...
