Towards energy efficient nanobubble generation with fluidic oscillation
TLDR
In this article, the authors present a review of the current methods of nanobubble generation and understand of the inter-biometric structure of the nanobble interfacial structure.Abstract:
Nanobubbles are a mystery as to their stability and longevity. So far their uses are limited to high value applications, such as medical imaging and controlled drug delivery and release. The current methods of nanobubble generation and understanding of nanobubble interfacial structure are reviewed. The analysis of the potential benefits of nanobubbles leads to the conclusion that if energy efficient nanobubbles that were flexible in injection and production were available, there would be widespread usage. The hypothesis that a recent methodology for energy efficient microbubble generation could be extended to nanobubble generation is presented and reviewed. The current applications and promising potential applications for energy efficient microbubbles are discussed, ranging from bioreactors to dispersal of ozone, through flotation separations and enhanced chemical reactions by reactive separation.read more
