“…The stabilisation effect of evaporation is mentioned in the review by Suja et al [58] and supported by Lorenceau et al [39] notably with the remark that bubbles formed in an ethanol/water binary solution are completely unstable if the ambient atmosphere is saturated in ethanol while they live generally tens of seconds when evaporation is allowed to proceed.…”

Surface bubbles are present in many industrial processes and in nature, as well as in CO2 beverage. They have motivated many theoretical, numerical and experimental works. This paper presents the current knowledge on the physics of surface bubbles lifetime and shows the diversity of mechanisms at play that depend on the properties of the bath, the interfaces and the ambient air. In particular, we explore the role of drainage and evaporation on film thinning. We highlight the existence of two different scenarios depending on whether the film cap ruptures at large or small thickness compared to the thickness at which van der Waals interaction come in to play.

“…In the case of Mezcal and water-ethanol mixture, Rage et al [ 62 ] show a dependence of the lifetime with alcohol concentration, with a maximum around 50% that they correlate to a maximum of viscosity. Lorenceau and Rouyer [ 59 ] have tested this scaling for water-ethanol mixture and found a relatively good agreement for the impact of ethanol concentration varying from 0 to 12% in mass on the bubble lifetime ( Figure 7 c). This work has shown that the average lifetime of bubbles at the surface of an ethanol-water bath increases considerably with the concentration of ethanol.…”

“…Recently, experimental studies with better statistics, concerning more than thousand bubbles [ 21 , 45 , 52 , 59 , 64 ] have shown that the lifetime of bubbles at the surface of water (hot, deionized, river…) or mixture of water and alcohol is well described by Weibull distributions with

Toward Enhanced Aerosol Particle Adsorption in Never‐Bursting Bubble via Acoustic Levitation and Controlled Liquid Compensation

Bubbles in air are ephemeral because of gravity‐induced drainage and liquid evaporation, which severely limits their applications, especially as intriguing bio/chemical reactors. In this work, a new approach using acoustic levitation combined with controlled liquid compensation to stabilize bubbles is proposed. Due to the suppression of drainage by sound field and prevention of capillary waves by liquid compensation, the bubbles can remain stable and intact permanently. It has been found that the acoustically levitated bubble shows a significantly enhanced particle adsorption ability because of the oscillation of the bubble and the presence of internal acoustic streaming. The results shed light on the development of novel air‐purification techniques without consuming any solid filters.
