Summary

This review examines how bubble size — from microbubbles to nanobubbles — affects flotation efficiency in mineral processing and industrial applications, finding that smaller bubbles improve particle-bubble attachment and separation performance.

Study Type Environmental

Attachment of particles and droplets to bubbles—the latter being of various fine sizes and created by different techniques (as described in detail)—forms the basis of flotation, a process which indeed was originated from mineral processing. Nevertheless, chemistry often plays a significant role in this area, in order for separation to be effective, as stressed. This (brief) review particularly discusses wastewater treatment applications and the effect of bubble size (from nano- to micro-) on the flotation process.
