In this paper, the variation in bubble behavior and the characteristics of surface liquid film formation and shedding at the oil\u2013water interface are investigated using bubble visualization high-speed photography and numerical simulation. The results show that the bubble rise trajectories can be divided into three different sets when the bubbles rise in a system composed of two mutually incompatible liquids, and the bubble shapes are more stable in white oil compared to water. During the passage of the bubble across the oil\u2013water interface, the water phase is entrained to form a liquid film covering the bubble. We found that the change in the bubble liquid film and the collapse process of the water column are closely related to the bubble size. The trends of Eotvos (Eo) numbers for bubbles of different diameters in the oil\u2013water coexistence system are approximately the same, with the Eo numbers of larger bubbles being much larger than those corresponding to smaller bubbles, from the beginning to the end. After crossing the oil\u2013water interface, the Eo number of larger-diameter bubbles keeps fluctuating over a long distance before finally stabilizing. The Eo number of small-diameter bubbles remains essentially stable after crossing the oil\u2013water interface.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym16121564","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,22]],"date-time":"2024-11-22T04:21:36Z","timestamp":1732249296000},"page":"1564","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Bubble Behavior and Surface Liquid Film Characteristics of Air Bubbles Crossing the Oil\u2013Water Interface"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Yixin","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Chemical Engineering and Technology, Tianjin University, Tianjin 300072, China"}]},{"given":"Bin","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Chemical Engineering and Technology, Tianjin University, Tianjin 300072, China"}]},{"given":"Xiaoming","family":"Xiao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Chemical Engineering and Technology, Tianjin University, Tianjin 300072, China"}]},{"given":"Na","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Chemical Engineering and Technology, Tianjin University, Tianjin 300072, China"}]},{"given":"Yongli","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Chemical Engineering and Technology, Tianjin University, Tianjin 300072, China"}]},{"given":"Luhong","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Chemical Engineering and Technology, Tianjin University, Tianjin 300072, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,11,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1068","DOI":"10.1016\/j.apenergy.2017.01.027","article-title":"Mass transfer and energy consumption for CO2 absorption by ammonia solution in bubble column","volume":"190","author":"Chu","year":"2017","journal-title":"Appl.
