Molecular simulation study on effect of mine water hardness on foam stability by Qinggang LU, Kai WANG, Honghu HUANG, Yi LIANG, Jiangshi ZHANG, Yanan WANG, Yulu JIA, Yunfei LIANG

“…Mine water contains a large amount of hard water ions, and as the main water used in foam dust suppressants, its water hardness is crucial to the dust removal efficiency and economic costs of foam dust suppressants. In order to study the variation law and microscopic mechanism of foam stability influenced by mine water hardness, molecular simulation was employed to investigate the effects of mine waters containing different concentrations of Ca2+, Mg2+, and Na+ on the stability of foam liquid films. …”
