Interactions between gas bubbles and solid particles are crucial in industrial processes, and the study aimed to investigate the influence of surface hydrophobicity and zeta potential on the formation of three-phase contact between a single air bubble and planar glass surfaces. The results show that increasing surface hydrophobicity enhances the bubble adhesion effectiveness by increasing both the propagation velocity of the three-phase contact perimeter and its size.
Interactions between gas bubbles and solid particles are crucial in numerous industrial processes, including froth flotation, in which particle-bubble attachment plays a vital role. The process efficiency depends on differences in the surface wettability (i.e., hydrophobicity, expressed by the contact angle) of separated particles. This study aimed to investigate the influence of surface hydrophobicity and zeta potential on the formation of a three-phase contact (TPC) between a single air bubble and planar glass surfaces. Different degrees of hydrophobicity were achieved by esterification with a range of alcohols and time. The interaction between the bubble and surface was monitored using a high-speed camera with a time resolution of 1 ms, allowing for measurements of the time of thin liquid film drainage, time and diameter of TPC formation, TPC line expansion velocity, and dynamic contact angles. The observations suggest that TPC formation occurs when the solid surface has a sufficient degree of hydrophobicity (critical contact angle) and is dependent on the differences in zeta potential values between the air bubble and the solid surface in water. When both surfaces are negatively charged, the limiting value of the water contact angle is ca. 35 degrees, whereas for oppositely charged surfaces, the value slightly decreases to ca. 31 degrees. The results show that increasing surface hydrophobicity enhances the bubble adhesion effectiveness by increasing both the propagation velocity of the TPC perimeter and its size (measured by the diameter of the formed TPC). The article also discusses the mechanism of bubble-solid adhesion in relation to the hydrophobicity and zeta potential of the solid surface based on the obtained results.
