Motion of gas bubbles in aqueous phase (either clean water or solutions of surface-active substances) is a phenomenon of great practical importance. Gas/liquid contacting is one of the most common operations in the chemical and petrochemical industry and mineral processing In particular in mineral industry, for all kind of flotation processes it is the main act responsible for the success of the entire technology As a result, properties of the liquid/gas interfaces are considered as a one of the most important parameters, determining the outcome of industrial applications and engineering processes. These properties can be modified by surfactants which adsorption (molecules accumulation) at the interfaces leads to the decrease in the interfacial tension and modification of the hydrodynamic boundary conditions. Description of a single bubble motion in wide range of flow magnitude (Reynolds numbers) is not trivial and many attempts have been undertaken to quantify a bubble behavior in liquids. This paper presents a short overview of the current “state of arts” on physics of the bubble motion in liquids and the elaborated models, describing motion of the bubble formed in liquid phase. The comparison of the theoretical models predictions with the available experimental data is presented. It is shown, moreover, that the bubble velocity can be used as a very sensitive tool for detection of organic contaminations in environmental water samples.

The paper presents systematic studies on influence of state of dynamic adsorption layer (DAL) induced at the rising bubble interface on time-scale of the bubble attachment to quartz and mica surfaces immersed in pure n-cetyl-trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and mixed octanol/CTAB solutions of different concentrations. It was found that in the case of pure CTAB solutions, the influence of DAL on time of bubble attachment and the three-phase contact (TPC) formation (tTPC) strongly depends on solution concentration. Generally, two solution concentration regimes were distinguished – low and high - for which different degree of solid surfaces hydrophobization was observed. It was determined that for low concentration regime the solid surface is only slightly hydrophobized while for high regime, hydrophobicity of the solid surface is much higher. Consequently, wetting film rupture for low concentration regime is governed by electrostatic interactions while for high concentration regime significance of these interactions is much smaller. As a result, the DAL influenced the film rupture in these two regimes in a quite different manner. For mixed n-octanol/CTAB solutions it was found that CTAB molecules presence is necessary condition for wetting film destabilization. Moreover, thanks to the developed approach, allowing control of initial adsorption coverage over the bubble surface (independently on concentration), it was proved that constant adsorption degree of CTAB molecules at the bubble surface in the mixture, leads to identical times of the TPC formation.

Influence of sodium chloride (NaCl) addition on bubble velocity in solutions of sodium n-octylsulfate (SOS), n-decylsulfate (SDS) and n-dodecylsulfate (SDDS) was studied. The NaCl concentration was varied from 0.0001 to 0.05 M. Profiles of the bubble local velocity, that is, variations of the bubble local velocity with distance from the point of the bubble formation (capillary), were determined. At low sodium n-alkylsulfates concentrations the bubbles, after the acceleration stage, reached a maximum velocity followed by a deceleration stage tending to attain their terminal velocity. The maximum disappeared at high SOS, SDS and SDDS concentrations. Electrolyte alone did not affect the bubble velocity. However, addition of even small amounts of NaCl into solutions of sodium n-alkylsulfates affected the bubble motion. The effect was especially significant at low concentrations of the surfactants studied, where the bubble terminal velocity was lowered from ca. 30-34 cm/s (no electrolyte) down to ca. 15 cm/s in 0.01M NaCl presence. The electrolyte affected the bubble motion via its influence on state of the Dynamic Adsorption Layer formed over surface of the bubbles rising in sodium n-alkylsulfates solutions.
