Surface characteristics and molecular interactions of thin films between bubbles by molecular simulations by Tiefeng Peng, Tiefeng Peng, Yangyang Huai, Yangyang Huai

“…Another example, ultra-stable froth accumulates on the thickener from flotation brings a series of difficulties to pumping, settling and dewatering operations, and would lead to pollution to the industrial circulating water treatment, thus it must be prevented.MethodsIn this work, the factors affecting the stability of froth, and relationship of bubble coalescence and film rupture was investigated, and molecular simulations (MD) were performed to study the aqueous molecular formation and surface characteristics of thin films between bubbles that contribute to the froth stability.ResultsThe detailed interfacial structure, molecular formation along Z-axis, angle distribution within the first and second layer, and also critical thickness were studied and discussed. …”
