Coalescence investigations in a amall-scale continuously operated setup for bubble column design (Journal or book series)

Description

A novel micro‐channel technique for analyzing the coalescence of bubbles and obtaining relevant information for the creation of a coalescence database is presented. The micro‐channel improves the coalescence investigations by a continuously operated setup, reduces the accumulation of impurities and increases the amount of recorded data. To introduce the new setup, studies with alcoholic, electrolytic aqueous systems and liquid silicone oil as a second liquid are presented, showing the influence of different concentrations. Artificial intelligence has been successfully developed to automate data generation. This approach improves the understanding of bubble coalescence by introducing a reproducible setup. Furthermore, it facilitates the transition to a predictive column design through data‐based decisions and modelling.
