"What is the difference between fine bubbles and microbubbles?" We explain the differences! We also summarize the characteristics of microbubbles. *Materials available upon request.
"Fine bubbles" is a general term for microbubbles and ultrafine bubbles (nano-sized bubbles), referring to bubbles with a diameter of less than 0.1 mm.
Microbubbles appear more like "white turbidity" than "bubbles" to the naked eye, and their concentration is determined by the amount of gas dissolved in the water.
Ultrafine bubbles are not visible to the naked eye, but can be confirmed by shining a laser beam on them. They drift in the water without rising to the surface.
【Characteristics of Microbubbles】
- The peak diameter of microbubbles is several tens of micrometers (varies depending on the generation method and conditions)
- Visible to the naked eye (difficult to see below 5 micrometers)
- Negatively charged
- Lifespan in fresh water is several minutes to several tens of minutes
- Enhances gas dissolution
- Rise and mostly burst at the water surface, escaping into the atmosphere
