Abstract

Surface-active agents are widely used in industrial processes and products for daily use. Surfactants are essential in consumer products, although they are environmentally harmful. Consequently, new technologies are being sought to address the surfactant waste problem effectively. Foam fractionation is a multifunctional method of removing or purifying surface-active and inactive agents. This environmentally friendly technology enables foam separation of many compounds based on adsorption at the gas-liquid interface. The technology has been employed in wastewater treatment, remediation, metallurgy, biotechnology, pharmacy, and the cosmetics and food industries. This review highlights process handling and equipment design in terms of the enrichment and recovery of many proteins, surfactants, metal ions, and pollutants. Furthermore, the mode of action, basic laws, and mechanisms of the technology are explained, and relevant examples of the application of foam fractionation will be provided.

泡沫分馏是分离和回收表面活性剂和表面失活剂的一种有效方法。

表面活性剂广泛应用于工业生产过程和日用产品中。表面活性剂在消费品中是必不可少的，尽管它们对环境有害。因此，人们正在寻求新的技术来有效地解决表面活性剂的浪费问题。泡沫分馏是一种去除或净化表面活性剂和非活性剂的多功能方法。这种环保技术使许多化合物的泡沫分离基于吸附在气液界面。该技术已应用于废水处理、修复、冶金、生物技术、制药、化妆品和食品等行业。本文综述了在多种蛋白质、表面活性剂、金属离子和污染物富集和回收方面的工艺处理和设备设计。阐述了泡沫分馏技术的作用方式、基本规律和机理，并给出了泡沫分馏技术的相关应用实例。
