Characterization of Ultra Fine Bubbles Using Various Measurement Techniques

Abstract

The paper presents the results of electrical property measurements for submicron-scale bubbles (Ultra Fine Bubble, UFB) as a property that includes correlation with water. The relationship between the concentration of UFBs and average size and the electrical conductivity of water is shown, confirming that the presence of UFBs generated by oxygen gas decreases the electrical conductivity of water. In addition, the internal pressure was directly detected using the perturbation angle correlation method, and a lower internal pressure (about 3.4 atmospheres) than theoretical was measured. We proposed the use of ultrasonic waves as a simple detection method for bubbles, including the distinction between UFBs and impurities, and are still measuring the bubbles.
