| Abstract: | Background A polarized light scattering technique was used to monitor the performance of a continuously operated foam fractionation process.
The S
11 and S
12 parameters, elements of the light scattering matrix, combined together (S
11
+S
12) have been correlated with the bubble size and liquid content for the case of a freely draining foam. The performance of
a foam fractionation column is known to have a strong dependence on the bubble size distribution and liquid hold up in foam.
In this study the enrichment is used as a metric, representative of foam properties and column performance, and correlated
to the S
11
+S
12 parameter. |
