- Additional information
- Pneumatic foam has unique properties, important for many applications including: oil recovery, aeriation in waste-water treatment plants and fire extinguishers. This comprehensive experimental study of gas-liquid mass transfer in pneumatic foam uses the first mechanistic method to determine the hydrodynamic condition in industrial unit-operations. For the first time, the volumetric mass transfer coefficients have been measured. These were found to be several orders of magnitude greater than those typically observed in conventional bubble column technologies. This is not only key information for designing innovative industrial systems based on pneumatic foam, but also enhances academic understanding.
