Abstract
Microbubbles have been widely used in the chemical industry in recent years due to their unique physical and chemical properties. This article provides an overview of the characteristics and main generation methods of microbubbles, including physical, chemical, mechanical, and microfluidic techniques. It also explores the applications of microbubbles in the chemical industry, such as gas–liquid reaction intensification, gas separation, mineral flotation, and preparation of high-performance polyolefin materials. By analyzing the current research status of microbubble technology, the future development direction of its application in the chemical industry is discussed.
期刊介绍:
The Chinese Journal of Chemical Engineering (Monthly, started in 1982) is the official journal of the Chemical Industry and Engineering Society of China and published by the Chemical Industry Press Co. Ltd. The aim of the journal is to develop the international exchange of scientific and technical information in the field of chemical engineering. It publishes original research papers that cover the major advancements and achievements in chemical engineering in China as well as some articles from overseas contributors.
The topics of journal include chemical engineering, chemical technology, biochemical engineering, energy and environmental engineering and other relevant fields. Papers are published on the basis of their relevance to theoretical research, practical application or potential uses in the industry as Research Papers, Communications, Reviews and Perspectives. Prominent domestic and overseas chemical experts and scholars have been invited to form an International Advisory Board and the Editorial Committee. It enjoys recognition among Chinese academia and industry as a reliable source of information of what is going on in chemical engineering research, both domestic and abroad.
