NEW TECHNIQUE TO MEASURE NANOBUBBLE LIFETIME

January 2016

A project conducted by scientists from Revalesio and the University of Utah tested a new electrochemical method for the measurement of nanobubble lifetimes. The findings suggest that hydrogen and nitrogen nanobubbles dissolve at rates that are ∼1000 times slower than theoretically predicted. The data indicate that the finite rate of gas transfer across the gas/liquid interface limits the dissolution of nanobubbles.
