Influence of water-film-forming-unit on the enhanced removal of carbon dioxide from mixed gas using water absorption apparatus

Spontaneously expanding and shrinking soap bubbles

“…An example of this phenomenon can be observed by measuring the pH water column kept inside a closed cylinder filled with CO 2 [1]. During the experiment the water level was shown to rise to a height of 20 cm within 48 h. Indeed, it has been suggested that films of water might be used as the active ingredient in the process of carbon capture and storage [2,3]. Soap films and bubbles can be found in many everyday products [4] but are also an important factor to consider for example in industry [5,6] The concept of soap bubbles are fascinating to many, and the books written by Isenberg [7] and Boys [8] can be mentioned as excellent and popular books on the subject.…”

Soap bubbles are also popular in outreach activities [9,10] and science education [11,12,13] where they have been utilized to teach even subjects such as catalysis [14] and mechanical properties of metals [15].…”
