“…There are several points of contact and consistency with the previous work of Neethling et al [17], who set out to analyse and model an overflowing fractionation set-up (based on the foam drainage equation), using numerical solutions for validation. We also comment on the work of the Stevenson group [2,5,15], which has significant points in common with our analysis.…”

“…The process is of widespread practical importance in chemical engineering and biotechnology [1]. It has, therefore, been the subject of many analyses of a largely empirical nature [2]. Attempts to place them on a firmer basis have been frustrated by the difficulty of capturing a reliable theoretical description of the overflow, in which drainage, bubble rupture and rheological properties may all be implicated.…”

A model system for theory and experiment that is relevant to foam fractionation consists of a column of foam moving through an inverted U-tube between two pools of surfactant solution. The foam drainage equation and its variants are used for a theoretical analysis of this process. In the limit in which the lengths of the two legs is large (L → ∞), exact analytic formulae may be derived for the key properties of the system. Numerical computations and experiments support these results.

In this paper, a single-/dual-stream foam separation device was constructed to simplify the conventional foam fractionation process (CFFP), by minimizing interactions between bubbles. This was expected to help reveal mechanisms in a ‘neat’ way. Results have shown negligible productivity of single-stream foam fractionation (SSFF) for the protein enrichment ratio (E) under conditions tested, whereas dual-stream foam fractionation (DSFF) was established as a reasonable basic unit of CFFP. The influence of DSFF operating conditions, such as the inlet protein concentration and gas velocity, were examined. Calculations of protein concentration and liquid volume were performed via foam thickness measurement, which is very difficult with CFFP. It was evident that the middle drainage channel played a key role in enrichment phenomena. The current DSFF system provides a control case for evaluating principles of foam fractionation. Furthermore, a simple mass-balance model has been proposed to represent the column-wide behavior of DSFF.
