Containing contributions from leading academic and industrialresearchers, this book provides a much needed update of foamscience research.
The first section of the book presents an accessible summary ofthe theory and fundamentals of foams. This includes chapters onmorphology, drainage, Ostwald ripening, coalescence, rheology,and pneumatic foams.
The second section demonstrates how this theory is used in awide range of industrial applications, including foamfractionation, froth flotation and foam mitigation. It includeschapters on suprafroths, flotation of oil sands, foams in enhancingpetroleum recovery, Gas-liquid Mass Transfer in foam, foams inglass manufacturing, fire-fighting foam technology and consumerproduct foams.
Key features:
* Foam fractionation is an exciting and emerging technology,starting to gain significant attention
* Discusses a vital topic for many industries, especially mineralprocessing, petroleum engineering, bioengineering, consumerproducts and food sector
* Links foam science theory to industrial applications, making itaccessible to an engineering science audience
* Summarizes the latest developments in this rapidly progressingarea of research
* Contains contributions from leading international researchersfrom academia and industry
