A Microfluidic Method for Investigating Ion-Specific Bubble Coalescence in Salt Solutions

This paper reports the direct and precise measurement of bubble coalescence in salt solutions using microfluidics. We directly visualized the bubble coalescence process in a microchannel using high-speed imaging and evaluated the shortest coalescence time to determine the transition concentration of...

Zusammenfassung:This paper reports the direct and precise measurement of bubble coalescence in salt solutions using microfluidics. We directly visualized the bubble coalescence process in a microchannel using high-speed imaging and evaluated the shortest coalescence time to determine the transition concentration of sodium halide solutions. We found the transition concentration is ion-specific, and the capacity of sodium halide salts to inhibit bubble coalescence follows the order of NaF > NaCl > NaBr > NaI. The microfluidic method overcomes the inherent uncertainties in conventional large-scale devices and methods
