Enrichment of suspended particles in top jet drops from bursting bubbles

Resolution of d- and l-glucoses by chiral N-octyl-β-d-glycoside–Cu(II) complex adsorbed at the gas/liquid interface of small bubbles

“…7b and 8b was constructed by plotting log 0 G (= HG ) against log (C 2 b ) based on Eq. (12); the slopes of the obtained linear relations corresponds to 1/n and the intercepts to the product of k HG and the equilibrium constant to the (1/n ) th (K C ). In Fig.…”

“…Optical resolution by micellar electrokinetic chromatography with sodium N-dodecanoyl-l-glutamate (SDGlu) and with digitonin-sodium taurodexycholate (STDC) mixed micelles was investigated by Otsuka et al [11]. However, so far there have been no reports in regard to the enantiomeric separation of glucoses by the jet drop method (JDM) [12]. Here, the JDM involves analysis of the top jet drop by tearing out the innermost thinner layer from the surface of bubble with high reproducibility not to be expected with any mechanical apparatus.…”

Water-to-air transfer of nano/micro-sized particulates: enrichment effect in bubble bursting jet drops

“…28,29 It has been widely recognized that both soluble and insoluble components can be substantially enriched in jet drops with a much higher concentration compared to that in the bulk water, up to a thousand fold. 16,[30][31][32][33] The enrichment of nano/micro-sized particles is of particular interest considering the transport of microbes by bursting bubbles in contaminated water, 24,28 which may be one potential mechanism that increases the risk of airborne pathogen transmission. 34,35 This enrichment is believed to be caused by the scavenging of suspended particles by the bubble during rising, and subsequently, the collection of the captured particles along with the liquid shell around the bubble cavity surface into the jet drops upon bursting.…”

“…34,35 This enrichment is believed to be caused by the scavenging of suspended particles by the bubble during rising, and subsequently, the collection of the captured particles along with the liquid shell around the bubble cavity surface into the jet drops upon bursting. 30,32,36 A majority of the prior studies investigated bacteria enrichment by collecting the jet drops and then culturing the bacteria for measurement, with different bubble rising distances, bubble sizes, bacteria types and concentrations, as well as culture ages. 28,[37][38][39][40][41][42][43] However, due to the limitations of such an indirect measurement and the complexity of the biological systems, the enrichment factor of the bacteria reported by prior studies varied dramatically from 1 to 1000 even under the similar experimental conditions, and the detailed hydrodynamic mechanism is still elusive.…”

“…In contrast, we have been interested primarily in properties or functions of surfactants in dilute concentration range below CMC, such as collecting some useful contents in top jet drops from bursting bubbles (11)(12)(13) and the Langmuir adsorption of surfactants (e.g. bile salts) on cholesterol crystalline surfaces (14,15) as well as the Gibbs adsorption (16,17).…”
