 U.S. Patent: 6022727 - Method for forming reversible colloidal gas or liquid aphrons and compositions produced - ...
CGA dispersions are easy and energy-efficient to produce, provide extremely high mass-transfer rates (Bredwell et al., Eighteenth Symposium on Biotechnology for Fuels and Chemicals, Gatlinburg, Tenn., May 5-9, (1996)), and can enhance the rate of bioremediation processes fed with synthesis gas (hydrogen and carbon monoxide), for instance.
Biotechnol., 51/52, 501-509 (1995)) was used to measure the rate of formation and stability of CGA dispersions at pH values of 3, where the polymer behaves as a surfactant or emulsifier, and 7, where its surfactant properties are lost.
In the second, a known volume of the dispersion was placed in a closed, transparent chamber, and the particle-size distribution was measured as a function of time using the PDA.
