Bao Y, Huang JY. Effect of microbubbles on immersion freezing of grape tomato. Food Chem 2024; 454:139813.

Abstract
Microbubbles (MBs) were incorporated into calcium chloride solution as a novel freezing medium for immersion freezing of grape tomato. The effects of MB size (39, 43, 48 μm mean diameter), entrapped gas (air, N2, CO2) and freezing temperature (-10, -15, -20 °C) on the freezing behavior and quality attributes of tomato were investigated. MBs increased the nucleation temperature from -7.4 to -3.5 °C and reduced the onset time of nucleation from 5.8 to 2.9 min at freezing temperature of -20 °C, which facilitated the formation of small ice crystals within tomato. MB-assisted freezing reduced the drip loss by 13.7-17.0% and improved the firmness of tomato, particularly when MB size and freezing temperature decreased. Freezing tomato with air-MBs did not compromise its nutritional quality, using N2- and CO2-MBs even increased its lycopene content, by 31% and 23%, respectively. The results proved the preservation effect of MBs on fruit during immersion freezing. This study can benefit the fruit and vegetable industry by providing an efficient freezing technology for producing frozen products with high sensory and nutritional quality.

Sharma H, Nirmalkar N, Zhang W. Nanobubbles produced by nanopores to probe gas-liquid mass transfer characteristics. J Colloid Interface Sci 2024; 665:274-285.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS This study tested the hypothesis of how the nanopore size of membranes and how the surface charge of nanobubbles responds to its pinch-off from the nanopore. This study also tested the hypothesis that nanobubbles that remain in solution after production may increase the dissolved oxygen content in water. EXPERIMENTS The effect of membrane pore size, hydrodynamic conditions (gas and liquid flow rates), and physicochemical parameters (pH and temperature) on volumetric mass transfer coefficient (kLa) for oxygen nanobubbles formed by the nanopore diffusion technique was investigated. This study experimentally determined the kLa by carefully removing the dissolved oxygen by nitrogen purging from nanobubble suspension to examine the sole contribution of nanobubble dissolution in water to the reaeration. RESULTS Scaling estimates indicate that the nanobubble pinch-off radius and nanopore radius have a power-law correlation and that nanobubble size declines with the nanopore size. This is in line with our experimental results. The surface charge of nanobubbles delays its pinch-off at the gas-liquid interface. Nanobubbles offered 3-4 times higher kLa than microbubbles. Standard oxygen transfer efficiency in water was found to be 78%, significantly higher than that in microbubbles. However, dissolving stable nanobubbles in water does not considerably increase dissolved oxygen levels.

Abstract
Determining the role of micro-nanobubbles (MNBs) in controlling the risk posed by pathogens to soil and groundwater during reclaimed water irrigation requires clarification of the mechanism of how MNBs block pathogenic bacteria. In this study, real-time bioluminescence imaging was used to investigate the effects of MNBs on the transport and spatiotemporal distribution of bioluminescent Escherichia coli 652T7 strain in porous media. The presence of MNBs significantly increased the retention of bacteria in the porous media, decreasing the maximum relative effluent concentration (C/C0) by 78 % from 0.97 (without MNBs) to 0.21 (with MNBs). The results suggested that MNBs provided additional sites at the air-water interface (AWI) for bacterial attachment and acted as physical obstacles to reduce bacterial passage. These effects varied with environmental conditions such as solution ionic strength and pore water velocity. The results indicated that MNBs enhanced electrostatic attachment of bacteria at the AWI and their mechanical straining in pores. This study suggests that adding MNBs in pathogen-containing water is an effective measure for increasing filtration efficiency and reducing the risk of pathogenic contamination during agricultural irrigation.

Abstract
Eating fruits and vegetables loaded with natural antioxidants can boost human health considerably and help fight off diseases linked to oxidative stress. Hydrogen has unique antioxidant effects. However, its low-solubility and fast-diffusion has limited its applications in agriculture. Integration of hydrogen with nanobubble technology could address such problems. However, the physiological adaptation and response mechanism of crops to hydrogen nanobubbles is still poorly understood. Antioxidant concentrations of lycopene, ascorbic acid, flavonoids, and resveratrol in hydrogen nanobubble water drip-irrigated tomato fruits increased by 16.3-264.8% and 2.2-19.8%, respectively, compared to underground water and oxygen nanobubble water. Transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses were combined to investigate the regulatory mechanisms that differed from the controls. Comprehensive multi-omics analysis revealed differences in the abundances of genes responsible for hormonal control, hydrogenase genes, and necessary synthetic metabolites of antioxidants, which helped to clarify the observed improvements in antioxidants. This is the first case of hydrogen nanobubble water irrigation increasing numerous natural antioxidant parts in fruits. Considering the characteristics of hydrogen and the application of the nanobubble technology in agriculture, the findings of the present study could facilitate the understanding of the potential effects of hydrogen on biological processes and the mechanisms of action on plant growth and development.

Abstract
ABSTRACTDesigned to meet the specific needs of the printing industry exhaust gas emissions, this paper proposes a method for the degradation of gaseous acetic acid ester organics that is environmentally friendly, safe, and simple to use: micro-nano cavitation technology. In the process of using micro-nano cavitation technology to degrade acetic acid ester organics, the products in the degradation process were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass (GC-MS) spectrometry, and the degradation pathways of acetic acid ester organics were identified. Under high temperatures and high pressure caused by cavitation collapse, the C-C bond and C-O bond on the main chain of organic matter are cleaved to form low molecular products. Low-molecular intermediate products are continuously produced as the reaction advances, and these intermediate products are further oxidized and decomposed into carbon dioxide and water. Besides, the factors that influence the degradation rate of acetic acid ester organics were investigated. Based on the experimental data, acetic acid esters can degrade with the greatest efficiency when their initial concentration is 200 ± 50 mg/m3 and their treatment time is 20∼30 min. Moreover, the experiment was optimized using the response surface method. The results suggested that for an initial concentration of 155.544 mg/m3 and a reaction time of 21.961 min, the best degradation rate was 0.251 min-1. Micro-nano cavitation technology is a novel and promising technology for the degradation of volatile organic compounds, with a wide range of practical applications.

Saudi Dent J 2024; 36:863-867. [PMID: 38883906 PMCID: PMC11178962 DOI: 10.1016/j.sdentj.2024.03.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/08/2023] [Revised: 03/11/2024] [Accepted: 03/17/2024] [Indexed: 06/18/2024] Open
Abstract
Background and Objectives Microbubbles (MBs) are gas or vapor-filled cavities inside liquids with sizes ranging from 2 to 3 µm. Recently, MBs have shown great promise in nanomedicine owing to their high encapsulation efficiency, targeted drug release, improved biocompatibility, and longer blood circulation. Furthermore, they are more suitable for focusing on particular body regions and are safer and non-invasive. MBs generators are used to create bubbles in fluid dynamics, chemistry, medicine, agriculture, and the environment. Drug delivery using MBs increases penetration without causing systemic toxicity. In this study, we examined whether the use of microbubbles as a local drug-delivery mechanism increases tubular penetration of endodontic medications and irrigant. Materials and Methods An Enterococcus faecalis culture was added to 38 dentin cylinders of single-rooted teeth. Samples were divided into the experimental and control groups that received a triple antibiotic paste with and without MB infusion (n = 19 in each group), respectively. After 14 days, the number of live bacteria in the samples was determined using confocal laser scanning microscopy. Results After 14 days of contact with the medication, the percentages of live and dead bacteria were assessed. Results show that Group 2 (Triple antibiotic infused micro bubble) showed significantly (P < 0.05) higher antibacterial efficacy than Group 1 (TAP). Conclusion In this study, the antibacterial efficacy was significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group. Therefore, within the limitations of the study it can be said that MB infusion is a viable technique to improve root canal disinfection. Hence, it can be considered as a novel technique for local drug delivery systems in endodontic management.

Abstract
The persistent issue of ceramic membrane fouling poses significant challenges to its widespread implementation. To address this concern, ozone nanobubbles (ozone-NBs) have garnered attention due to their remarkable mass transfer efficiency. In this investigation, we present a novel ozone-NB generator system to effectively clean a fouled ceramic membrane that is typically employed in the dye industry. The surface characteristics of the ceramic membrane underwent significant alterations, manifesting incremental changes in surface roughness and foulant accumulation reduction, as evidenced in atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray fluorescence, and energy-dispersive spectroscopy. Remarkably, the sequential 4 h cleaning process demonstrates an effective outcome leading to an almost 2-fold enhancement in the membrane flux. The initial fouled state of 608 L/h/m2 increased to 1050 L/h/m2 in the 4 h state with a recovery of 50%. We propose such membrane performance improvement governed by the ozone-NBs with a size distribution of 213.2 nm and a zeta potential value of -20.26 ± 0.13 mV, respectively. This effort showcases a substantial innovative and sustainable technology approach toward proficient foulant removal in water treatment applications.

Abstract
Comprehending and controlling the behavior of bubbles on solid surfaces is of significant importance in various fields including catalysis and drag reduction, both industrially and scientifically. Herein, Inspired by the superaerophilic properties of the lotus leaf surface, a series of asymmetrically patterned aerophilic surfaces were prepared by utilizing a facile mask-spraying method for directional transport of underwater bubbles. The ability of bubbles to undergo self-driven transportation in an asymmetric pattern is attributed to the natural tendency of bubbles to move toward regions with lower surface energy. In this work, the microstructure of the aerophilic surface is demonstrated as a critical element that influences the self-driven transport of bubbles toward regions of lower surface energy. The microstructure characteristic affects the energy barrier of forming a continuous gas film on the final regions. We classify three distinct bubble behaviors on the aerophilic surface, which align with three different underwater gas film evolution states: Model I, Model II, and Model III. Furthermore, utilizing the energy difference between the energy barrier that forms a continuous gas film and the gas-gas merging, gas-liquid microreaction in a specific destination on the multiple paths can be easily realized by preinjecting a bubble in the final region. This work provides a new view of the microevolutionary process for the diffusion, transport, and merging behavior of bubbles upon contact with an aerophilic pattern surface.

Abstract
Nanobubble (NB) represents a promising practice for mitigating fouling in biogas slurry distribution systems. However, its anti-fouling effectiveness and optimal use dosage are unknown. This study investigated the NB anti-fouling capacity at six concentrations (0 %-100 %, denoting the ratio of maximum NB-infused water; particle concentrations in 0 % and 100 % ratios were 1.08 × 107 and 1.19 × 109 particles mL-1, respectively). Results showed that NB effectively mitigated multiple fouling at 50 %-100 % ratios, whereas low NB concentration exacerbated fouling. NB functioned both as an activator and a bactericide for microorganisms, significantly promoting biofouling at 5 %-25 %, and inhibiting biofouling at 50 %-100 %. Owing to an enhanced biofilm biomineralization ability, low NB concentration aggravated precipitate fouling, whereas high NB doses effectively mitigated precipitates. Additionally, higher NB concentrations demonstrated superior control efficiency against particulate fouling. This study contributes insights into NB effectiveness in controlling various fouling types within wastewater distribution systems.

Hydrogen Fertilization with Hydrogen Nanobubble Water Improves Yield and Quality of Cherry Tomatoes Compared to the Conventional Fertilizers. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 13:443.

Abstract
Although hydrogen gas (H2)-treated soil improves crop biomass, this approach appears difficult for field application due to the flammability of H2 gas. In this report, we investigated whether and how H2 applied in hydrogen nanobubble water (HNW) improves the yield and quality of cherry tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum var. cerasiforme) with and without fertilizers. Two-year-long field trials showed that compared to corresponding controls, HNW without and with fertilizers improved the cherry tomato yield per plant by 39.7% and 26.5% in 2021 (Shanghai), respectively, and by 39.4% and 28.2% in 2023 (Nanjing), respectively. Compared to surface water (SW), HNW increased the soil available nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and potassium (K) consumption regardless of fertilizer application, which may be attributed to the increased NPK transport-related genes in roots (LeAMT2, LePT2, LePT5, and SlHKT1,1). Furthermore, HNW-irrigated cherry tomatoes displayed a higher sugar-acid ratio (8.6%) and lycopene content (22.3%) than SW-irrigated plants without fertilizers. Importantly, the beneficial effects of HNW without fertilizers on the yield per plant (9.1%), sugar-acid ratio (31.1%), and volatiles (20.0%) and lycopene contents (54.3%) were stronger than those achieved using fertilizers alone. In short, this study clearly indicated that HNW-supplied H2 not only exhibited a fertilization effect on enhancing the tomato yield, but also improved the fruit's quality with a lower carbon footprint.

A novel eco-friendly strategy for removing phenanthrene from groundwater: Synergism of nanobubbles and rhamnolipid. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2024; 907:168099. [PMID: 37884130 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.168099] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/24/2023] [Revised: 10/21/2023] [Accepted: 10/22/2023] [Indexed: 10/28/2023]
Abstract
Nanobubbles (NBs), given their unique properties, could theoretically be paired with rhamnolipids (RL) to tackle polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon contamination in groundwater. This approach may overcome the limitations of traditional surfactants, such as high toxicity and low efficiency. In this study, the remediation efficiency of RL, with or without NBs, was assessed through soil column experiments (soil contaminated with phenanthrene). Through the analysis of the two-site non-equilibrium diffusion model, there was a synergistic effect between NBs and RL. The introduction of NBs led to a reduction of up to 24.3 % in the total removal time of phenanthrene. The direct reason for this was that with NBs, the retardation factor of RL was reduced by 1.9 % to 15.4 %, which accelerated the solute replacement of RL. The reasons for this synergy were multifaceted. Detailed analysis reveals that NBs improve RL's colloidal stability, increase its absolute zeta potential, and reduce its soil adsorption capacity by 13.3 %-19.9 %. Furthermore, NBs and their interaction with RL substantially diminish the surface tension, contact angle, and dynamic viscosity of the leaching solution. These changes in surface thermodynamic and rheological properties significantly enhance the migration efficiency of the eluent. The research outcomes facilitate a thorough comprehension of NBs' attributes and their relevant applications, and propose an eco-friendly method to improve the efficiency of surfactant remediation.

Abstract
The wet desulphurisation and denitrification technique based on micro-nano bubbles, which is available by either D-method or I-method, is a promising novel process. By employing piped water, Na2SO3 aqueous solution and HA-Na aqueous solution as the absorption liquids, a comparative study was conducted in this article on D-method and I-method to analyze their performance, advantages and disadvantages. It was accompanied by an investigation of how initial pH and initial temperature values of the absorption liquids affected the removal efficiency. The results suggested a positive correlation between NO/SO2 removal efficiencies and pH values but a little improvement in the removal efficiency under alkaline conditions. Furthermore, heating the absorption liquids inhibited the removal of NO and SO2. When manipulated in the same experimental environment, D-method and I-method did not present a significant difference in the SO2 removal efficiency, while the former was remarkably more effective than the latter in removing NO. To put together, D-method had higher removal efficiency, but required a large-scale micro-nano bubble generator to process a large quantity of flue gas as the micro-nano bubble generator was subject to a limited inlet flow rate. Consequently, an increase in investment and operating costs was incurred, while this issue could be avoided by I-method.

Abstract
The electrogeneration of hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) via the oxygen reduction reaction is a crucial process for advanced water treatment technologies. While significant effort is being devoted to developing highly reactive materials, gas provision systems used in these processes are receiving less attention. Here, using oxygen nanobubbles to improve the gas efficiency of the electrogeneration of H2 O2 is proposed. Aeration with nanobubbles is compared to aeration with macrobubbles under an identical experimental set-up, with nanobubbles showing a much higher gas-liquid volumetric mass transfer coefficient (KL a) of 2.6 × 10-2 min-1 compared to 2.7 × 10-4 min-1 for macrobubbles. Consequently, nanobubbles exhibit a much higher gas efficiency using 60% of O2 delivered to the system compared to 0.19% for macrobubbles. Further, it is observed that the electrogeneration of H2 O2 using carbon felt electrodes is enhanced using nanobubbles. Under the same dissolved oxygen levels, nanobubbles boost the reaction yield to 84%, while macrobubbles yield only 53.8%. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first study to investigate the use of nanobubbles in electrochemical reactions and demonstrate their ability to enhance gas efficiency and electrocatalytic response. These findings have important implications for developing more efficient chemical and electrochemical processes operating under gas-starving systems.

Abstract
The characteristics and stability of ozone nanobubbles (NBs) were investigated for the first time under different preparation conditions and freshwater conditions (i.e., pH, natural organic matter [NOM], carbonate, calcium, and temperature) for an extended period. Two oxygen gas flow rates (4 and 1 L/min) used in ozone NB generation affected the characteristics and stability of ozone NBs. The ozone NBs generated at a high initial dissolved ozone (12.5 mg/L) concentration showed a much higher brightness during measurements than the ozone NBs generated at a low initial dissolved ozone concentration (1 mg/L). The former also exhibited a higher negative surface charge and higher stability in comparison to the latter. The stability and half-lives of ozone NBs followed the order of 3 mM Ca2+ < pH 3 < NOM with high specific ultraviolet absorbance at 254 nm (SUVA254 = 4.1 L/mg·m) < pH 7 < pH 9, while the effects of carbonate and temperature were insignificant. Ozone NBs were relatively stable in waters for a long period (e.g., ≥ 60 days) except for high hardness or low pH conditions. Higher levels of hydroxyl radicals were produced from ozone NB solutions as compared to conventional ozonation.

Abstract
Nanobubbles (NBs) in water have been proven to improve plant growth and seed germination, potentially reducing both water and fertilizer consumption. To unravel the promotion mechanism of NBs on plant growth, this study investigated the characteristics of NBs in tap water and their impacts on tomato's early growth, soil chemical properties, enzymatic activity and electrochemical properties of plant roots. Oxygen NBs (ONBs) were found to increase the seed germination by 10 % and plant growth by 30 %-50 % (e.g., stem and diameter), whereas nitrogen NBs (NNBs) only had a significant promotion (7 %-34 %) on plant height. Additionally, compared to control group, irrigation with ONBs increased the peroxidase activities by 500 %-1000 % in tomato leaves, which may increase the expression of genes for peroxidase and promote cell proliferation and plant growth. Moreover, electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) revealed that the ONBs could reduce the interfacial impedance due to the increased active surface area and electrical conductivity of root.

Abstract
Acoustic waves with a finite beam width are widely used in acoustic manipulation and cavitation applications. In view of this, radial oscillation and translational motion of a gas bubble in a Gaussian standing wave field are studied in this work. Dynamic differential equations for the bubble are derived with the axial and transverse motions coupled with each other. A comprehensive numerical study is also carried out in the parameter space of the driving frequency, pressure amplitude, initial coordinate, off-axial distance and beam waist. The results demonstrate that the nonlinear radial oscillation can be intensified by a higher pressure amplitude and a smaller off-axial distance. Whether the driving frequency is much lower than the resonance frequency determines not only the final equilibrium position but also the direction of translational motion for the gas bubble. With the widening of the Gaussian standing wave, the radial oscillation will be weakened and the translational motion will be slowed down due to reduction of the pressure gradient regardless of the driving frequency. The results obtained in this study is of interest for an understanding of the bubble dynamics in non-plane acoustic wave fields.

Adv Colloid Interface Sci 2023; 322:103047.

Abstract
The depletion of high-grade and coarse-grain ores has led to an increasing demand for the development of efficient separation technologies for low-grade and fine-grain ores. However, conventional froth flotation techniques are not adequate to efficiently recover fine and ultrafine particles (typically <10-15 μm) due to the low collision probability between these particles and the relatively large bubbles used in the process. The introduction of microbubbles has shown promise in enhancing particle recovery, making it a subject of significant interest. Thus, this review focuses on microbubble generation methods that have the potential to be scaled up for industrial applications, with a specific emphasis on their suitability for froth flotation. The methods are categorized based on their scalability: high-hydrodynamic cavitation, porous media/medium-dissolved air, electrolysis/low-microfluidics, and acoustic methods. The bubble generation mechanisms, characteristics, advantages and limitations of each method and its applications in froth flotation are discussed to provide suggestions for improvement. There is still no appropriate technology that can optimize bubble size distribution, production rate and cost together for industrial froth flotation application. Therefore, novel approaches of combining multiple methods are also explored to achieve the potential synergic effects. By addressing the limitations of current microbubble generation methods and proposing potential enhancements, this review aims to contribute to the development of efficient and cost-effective microbubble generation technologies for fine and ultrafine particles in the froth flotation industry.

Abstract
The efficient and selective removal of refractory antibiotics from high-strength antibiotic production wastewater is crucial but remains a substantial challenge. In this study, a novel ozone micronano-bubble (MNB)-enhanced treatment system was constructed for antibiotic production wastewater treatment. Compared with conventional ozone, ozone MNBs exhibit excellent treatment efficiency for oxytetracycline (OTC) degradation and toxicity decrease. Notably, this study identifies the overlooked singlet oxygen (1O2) for the first time as a crucial active species in the ozone MNB system through probe and electron paramagnetic resonance methods. Subsequently, the oxidation mechanisms of OTC by ozone MNBs are systematically investigated. Owing to the high reactivity of OTC toward 1O2, ozone MNBs enhance the selective and anti-interference performance of OTC degradation in raw OTC production wastewater with complex matrixes. This study provides insights into the mechanism of ozone MNB-enhanced pollutant degradation and a new perspective for the efficient treatment of high-concentration industrial wastewater using ozone MNBs. In addition, this study presents a promising technology with scientific guidance for the treatment of antibiotic production wastewater.

Abstract
Concern for environmental protection has increased throughout the years from a global perspective. To date, the predominance of adsorption as treatment technique in environmental chemistry remains unchallenged. Moreover, the scientific attention for investigating nanobubbles due to their unique properties has turned the search for their application in environmental processes with special emphasis on water treatment. This study is aimed at investigating the effect of rotation on batch adsorption process using commercial activated carbon as adsorbent material, compared with the widely used method of agitation. As liquid medium, deionized water and deionized water enhanced with nanobubbles (of air) were used. The wastewater was simulated by dissolving a common dye as model pollutant, methylene blue, at concentration of 300 mg/L in the tested liquid. The results indicated that the utilization of nanobubbles resulted in an improvement on adsorption rate, compared to the corresponding values of deionized water solutions. These results may lead to promising applications in the future, since just 1 h of operation increases the water purification and thus provides a simply applied, cost-effective, and rapid alternative.

Abstract
Both in-situ and ex-situ electrolytic H2 supply have been used for biomethane production from CO2. However, the pros and cons of them have not been systematically compared. The present study makes this comparison using a 20 L continuous stirred-tank reactor equipped with external and internal electrolyzers. Compared to the ex-situ H2 supply, the in-situ electrolytic H2 bubbles were one order of magnitude smaller, which resulted in improved H2 mass transfer and biomass growth. Consequently, the methane production rate and the coulombic efficiency of the in-situ H2 supply (0.51 L·L-1·d-1, 96%) were higher than those of the ex-situ H2 supply (0.30 L·L-1·d-1, 56%). However, due to high internal resistance, the energy consumption for the in-situ electrolysis was 2.54 times higher than the ex-situ electrolysis. Therefore, the in-situ electrolytic H2 supply appears to be more promising, but reducing energy consumption is the key to the success of this technology.

Abstract
After the atmospheric hydrochloric acid leaching method is used to treat laterite ore and initially purify it, the extract that results often contains a significant amount of Fe2+ impurities. A novel metallurgical process has been proposed that utilizes microbubble aeration to oxidize Fe2+ ions in laterite hydrochloric acid lixivium, facilitating subsequent separation and capitalizing on the benefits of microbubble technology, including its expansive specific surface area, negatively charged surface attributes, prolonged stagnation duration, and its capacity to produce active oxygen. The study examined the impacts of aeration aperture, stirring speed, oxygen flow rate, pH value, and reaction temperature. Under optimized experimental conditions, which included an aeration aperture of 0.45 µm, stirring at 500 rpm, a bubbling flow rate of 0.4 L/min, pH level maintained at 3.5, and a temperature range of 75-85 °C, the oxidation efficiency of Fe2+ surpassed 99%. An analysis of the mass transfer process revealed that microbubble aeration markedly enhances the oxygen mass transfer coefficient, measured at 0.051 s-1. The study also confirmed the self-catalytic properties of Fe2+ oxidation and conducted kinetic studies to determine an apparent activation energy of 399 kJ/mol. At pH values below 3.5, the reaction is solely governed by chemical reactions; however, at higher pH values (>3.5), both chemical reactions and oxygen dissolution jointly control the reaction.

Abstract
Principles of laser-induced nanobubble formation in water are studied and presented. Nanobubbles were generated by laser light at intensities below threshold for laser-induced breakdown and subsequently expanded by a rarefaction wave to facilitate their observation and analysis. Different methods were used to study nanobubble formation and characteristics. Firstly, probability of nanobubble formation as a function of water sample purity was examined. Secondly, relation between laser fluence at different wavelengths and the number of generated nanobubbles was investigated. Thirdly, measurements of nanobubble lifetime were conducted indicating a contradiction to the Epstein-Plesset equation-based prediction of free bubble dissociation. Accumulated evidence suggests that the presence of physical impurities is a prerequisite for nanobubble formation. Consequently, a lack of impurities results in the absence of nanobubbles in contrast to assumptions by existing studies. The findings presented in this paper provide new insights into the fundamental properties of laser-induced nanobubbles in water.

Abstract
Antibiotics have several negative effects on aquatic ecosystems and are difficult to degrade using traditional water/wastewater treatment methods. As a result, new treatment techniques must be employed to eliminate these contaminants from aquatic environments. Research on the relationship between the decomposing process of antibiotics and different factors by new technologies is scarce. This research focuses on the capability of ozone micro-nano bubbles (OzMNBs) to eliminate the antibiotics ciprofloxacin (CIPR) and levofloxacin (LEVO) in aqueous solutions. We studied the CIPR and LEVO decomposition to different variables through the central composite design method. The main variables included pH, ozonation time, and initial antibiotic concentration. The correlation coefficients of the quadratic model obtained by using the software, Design Expert version 13.0.1. Analysis of variances proved the significance of models and main factors. Verification tests also confirmed that the final optimum conditions of the antibiotics decomposition were: pH 9, ozonation for 40 min and, initial antibiotic concentration of 5 mg/L. In optimum conditions, removal rate of about 97% and 100% was obtained for CIPR and LEVO, respectively. The order of influence of various factors on CIPR and LEVO decomposition were obtained and the interactions between the main factors were also investigated. At the last stage of the research, the efficiency of OzMNBs in the removal of total organic carbon and mineralization of the solutions containing CIPR and LEVO under optimum conditions was examined.

Abstract
Developing anti-biofouling and anti-biofilm techniques is of great importance for protecting water-contact surfaces. In this study, we developed a novel double-layer system consisting of a bottom immobilized TiO2 nanoflower arrays (TNFs) unit and an upper superhydrophobic (SHB) coating along with the assistance of nanobubbles (NBs), which can significantly elevate the interfacial oxygen level by establishing the long-range hydrophobic force between NBs and SHB and effectively maximize the photocatalytic reaction brought by the bottom TNFs. The developed NBs-SHB/TNFs system demonstrated the highest bulk chemical oxygen demand (COD) reduction efficiency at approximately 80% and achieved significant E. coli and Chlorella sp. inhibition efficiencies of 5.38 and 1.99 logs. Meanwhile, the system showed a sevenfold higher resistance to biofilm formation when testing in a wastewater matrix using a wildly collected biofilm seeding solution. These findings provide insights for implementing nanobubble-integrated techniques for submerged surface protection.

Effect of Micro-Nanobubbles on Arsenic Removal by Trichoderma atroviride for Bioscorodite Generation. J Fungi (Basel) 2023; 9:857. [PMID: 37623628 PMCID: PMC10455231 DOI: 10.3390/jof9080857] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2023] [Revised: 08/10/2023] [Accepted: 08/11/2023] [Indexed: 08/26/2023] Open
Abstract
The global environmental issue of arsenic (As) contamination in drinking water is a significant problem that requires attention. Therefore, the aim of this research was to address the application of a sustainable methodology for arsenic removal through mycoremediation aerated with micro-nanobubbles (MNBs), leading to bioscorodite (FeAsO4·2H2O) generation. To achieve this, the fungus Trichoderma atroviride was cultivated in a medium amended with 1 g/L of As(III) and 8.5 g/L of Fe(II) salts at 28 °C for 5 days in a tubular reactor equipped with an air MNBs diffuser (TR-MNBs). A control was performed using shaking flasks (SF) at 120 rpm. A reaction was conducted at 92 °C for 32 h for bioscorodite synthesis, followed by further characterization of crystals through Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses. At the end of the fungal growth in the TR-MNBs, the pH decreased to 2.7-3.0, and the oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) reached a value of 306 mV at 5 days. Arsenic decreased by 70%, attributed to possible adsorption through rapid complexation of oxidized As(V) with the exchangeable ferrihydrite ((Fe(III))4-5(OH,O)12), sites, and the fungal biomass. This mineral might be produced under oxidizing and acidic conditions, with a high iron concentration (As:Fe molar ratio = 0.14). The crystals produced in the reaction using the TR-MNBs culture broth and characterized by SEM, XRD, and FTIR revealed the morphology, pattern, and As-O-Fe vibration bands typical of bioscorodite and römerite (Fe(II)(Fe(III))2(SO4)4·14H2O). Arsenic reduction in SF was 30%, with slight characteristics of bioscorodite. Consequently, further research should include integrating the TR-MNBs system into a pilot plant for arsenic removal from contaminated water.

Abstract
The production and use of ozone micro-nano bubble water (O3-MNBW) is an innovative technology that prolongs the reactivity of aqueous-phase ozone and maintains the freshness and quality of fruits and vegetables by removing pesticides, mycotoxins, and other contaminants. The quality of parsley treated with different concentrations of O3-MNBW was investigated during storage at 20 ℃ for 5 d, and found that a ten-minute exposure of parsley to 2.5 mg·L-1 O3-MNBW effectively preserved the sensory quality of parsley, and resulted in lower weight loss, respiration rate, ethylene production, MDA levels, and a higher level of firmness, vitamin C, and chlorophyll content, relative to untreated parsley. The O3-MNBW treatment also increased the level of total phenolics and flavonoids, enhanced peroxidase and ascorbate peroxidase activity, and inhibited polyphenol oxidase activity in stored parsley. Five volatile signatures identified using an electronic nose (W1W, sulfur-compounds; W2S, ethanol; W2W, aromatic- and organic- sulfur compounds; W5S, oxynitride; W1S, methane) exhibited a significant decrease in response to the O3-MNBW treatment. A total of 24 major volatiles were identified. A metabolomic analysis identified 365 differentially abundant metabolites (DMs). Among them, 30 and 19 DMs were associated with characteristic volatile flavor substance metabolism in O3-MNBW and control groups, respectively. The O3-MNBW treatment increased the abundance of most DMs related to flavor metabolism and reduced the level of naringin and apigenin. Our results provide insight into the mechanisms that are regulated in response to the exposure of parsley to O3-MNBW, and confirmed the potential use of O3-MNBW as a preservation technology.

Abstract
Dye wastewater is a kind of refractory organic wastewater. Fenton coupled with micro-nano bubbles (MNBs+FT) was used for the degradation of Congo red (CR), aiming at simplifying the organic pollutants degradation process and reducing the cost of the process. The optimum condition of Fenton alone, the outlet pressure of the cavitation process and different combinations on the degradation of CR dye wastewater were discussed in this study. The results showed that the degradation of CR (100 mg/L) could reach 94.4% by using the MNBs+FT at the pH of 7, which was 72% higher than that using Fenton oxidation alone and 79% higher than that using MNBs alone. Based on the same degradation efficiency, the traditional Fenton process alone required 8 times the dose of oxidants of these combination systems, and the synergy coefficient of MNBs+FT was up to 2.44. ESR analysis indicated that ·OH was the predominant active species during the degradation of CR and MNBs+FT improved the utilization efficiency of H2O2 and produced more ·OH. Besides, the MNBs+FT could extend the pH range of the high-efficiency oxidation reaction, and it could also keep a high degradation rate under neutral conditions, which eliminated the process of adjusting the pH and reduced the anti-corrosion requirements of the equipment. According to the economic analysis results, the total cost of treatment for the MNBs/FT was about 13% of the cost of only the Fenton process. This study provides a reference for the application of MNBs+FT systems in full-scale dye wastewater treatment.

Abstract
Bulk nanobubbles fascinate scientists because of their stability over long periods of time and their ability to carry gases, leading to numerous potential applications. Considering the hypoxic tumor microenvironment and the advantages of bulk nanobubbles, lipid-encapsulated oxygen nanobubbles are prepared from free bulk oxygen nanobubbles in this study. The obtained carrier is then modified with a protein fused with the single-chain antibody of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (anti-HER2 scFv) and tandem-repeat cytochrome c (anti-HER2 scFv-nCytc) to enhance tumor targeting and induce tumor apoptosis. Copper phthalocyanine is used as the photosensitizer to demonstrate how the oxygen in the nanobubbles affects the efficiency of photodynamic therapy (PDT). The combination of anti-HER2 scFv-nCytc and PDT synergistically improves the therapeutic effect and alleviates hypoxia in tumors in vivo while causing little inflammatory response. Based on the findings, bulk nanobubble water shows promise in the targeted delivery of oxygen and can be combined with antibody therapy to enhance the efficiency of PDT.

Abstract
Axial DC magnetic field-assisted multi-capillary underwater air bubble discharge plasma jet has been used to study the productions of reactive oxygen species. Analyses of optical emission data revealed that the rotational (Tr) and vibrational temperatures (Tv) of plasma species slightly increased with magnetic field strength. The electron temperature (Te) and density (ne) increased almost linearly with magnetic field strength. Te increased from 0.53 to 0.59 eV, whereas ne increased from 1.03 × 1015 cm-3 to 1.33 × 1015 cm-3 for B = 0 to B = 374 mT, respectively. Analytical results from the plasma treated water provided that the electrical conductivity (EC), oxidative reduction potential (ORP), and the concentrations of O3 and H2 O2 enhanced from 155 to 229 µS cm-1, 141 to 17 mV, 1.34 to 1.92 mg L-1, and 5.61 to 10.92 mg L-1 due to the influence of axial DC magnetic field, while [Formula: see text] reduced from 5.10 to 3.93 for 30 min treatment of water with B = 0 and B = 374 mT, respectively. The model wastewater prepared with Remazol brilliant blue textile dye and the plasma treated wastewater studied by optical absorption spectrometer, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, and gas chromatography mass spectrometer. The results show that the decolorization efficiency increased ~ 20% after 5 min treatment for the maximum B = 374 mT with respect to zero-magnetic field and, power consumption, and electrical energy cost reduced ~ 6.3% and ~ 4.5%, respectively, due to the maximum assisted axial DC magnetic field strength of 374 mT.

Abstract
The demand for efficient wastewater treatment is becoming increasingly urgent due to the rising threat of pharmaceutical residues in water. As a sustainable advanced oxidation process, cold plasma technology is a promising approach for water treatment. However, the adoption of the technology encounters several challenges, including the low treatment efficiency and the potentially unknown environmental impact. Here, microbubble generation was integrated with cold plasma system to enhance treatment of wastewater contaminated with diclofenac (DCF). The degradation efficiency depended on the discharge voltage, gas flow, initial concentration, and pH value. The best degradation efficiency was 90.9% after 45 min plasma-bubble treatment under the optimum process parameters. The hybrid plasma-bubble system exhibited strongly synergistic performance heralded by up to seven-times higher DCF removal rates than the two systems operated separately. The plasma-bubble treatment remains effective even after addition of SO42-, Cl-, CO32-, HCO3-, and humic acid (HA) as interfering background substances. The contributions of •O2-, O3, •OH, and H2O2 reactive species to the DCF degradation process were specified. The synergistic mechanisms for DCF degradation were deduced through the analysis of the degradation intermediates. Further, the plasma-bubble treated water was proven safe and effective to stimulate seed germination and plant growth for sustainable agriculture applications. Overall, these findings provide new insights and a feasible approach with a highly synergistic removal effect for the plasma-enhanced microbubble wastewater treatment, without generating secondary contaminants.

Abstract
We have investigated the origin, stability, and nanobubble dynamics under an oscillating pressure field followed by the salting-out effects. The higher solubility ratio (salting-out parameter) of the dissolved gases and pure solvent nucleates nanobubbles during the salting-out effect, and the oscillating pressure field enhances the nanobubble density further as solubility varies linearly with gas pressure by Henry's law. A novel method for refractive index estimation is developed to differentiate nanobubbles and nanoparticles based on the scattering intensity of light. The electromagnetic wave equations have been numerically solved and compared with the Mie scattering theory. The scattering cross-section of the nanobubbles was estimated to be smaller than the nanoparticles. The DLVO potentials of the nanobubbles predict the stable colloidal system. The zeta potential of nanobubbles varied by generating nanobubbles in different salt solutions, and it is characterized by particle tracking, dynamic light scattering, and cryo-TEM. The size of nanobubbles in salt solutions was reported to be higher than that in pure water. The novel mechanical stability model is proposed by considering both ionic cloud and electrostatic pressure at the charged interface. The ionic cloud pressure is derived by electric flux balance, and it is found to be twice the electrostatic pressure. The mechanical stability model for a single nanobubble predicts the existence of stable nanobubbles in the stability map.

Abstract
In the electro-Fenton process, there still suffers concern of low H2O2 generation caused by inadequate mass transfer of oxygen and low selectivity of oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). To solve it, in this study, various particle sizes (850 μm, 150 μm, and 75 μm) of granular activated carbon filled in a microporous titanium-foam substate was used to develop a gas diffusion electrode (AC@Ti-F GDE). This facile-prepared cathode has seen a 176.15% improvement in H2O2 formation compared to the conventional one. Aside from a much higher oxygen mass transfer by creating gas-liquid-solid three-phase interfaces coupled with much high dissolved oxygen, the filled AC played a significant role in H2O2 accumulation. Among these particle sizes of AC, the one in 850 μm has observed the highest H2O2 accumulation, reaching 1487 μM in 2 h electrolysis. Because there is a balance between chemical nature for H2O2 formation and micropore-dominant porous structure for H2O2 decomposition, resulting in an electron transfer of 2.12 and H2O2 selectivity of 96.79% during ORR. In a word, the facial AC@Ti-F GDE configuration is promising for H2O2 accumulation.

Abstract
Nanocarriers (NCs) are dynamic nanovehicles used to transport bioactive derivatives like therapeutical formulations, drugs and/or dyes. The current review assists in understanding the mechanism of action of several recent developed NCs with antimicrobial purposes. Here, nine NCs varieties are portrayed with focus on nineteen approaches that are fulfil described based on outcomes obtained from in vitro antimicrobial assays. All approaches have previously been verified and we underline the biochemical challenges of all NCs, expecting that the present data may encourage the application of NCs in endodontic antimicrobial basic research. Methodological limitations and the evident base gaps made not possible to draw a definite conclusion about the best NCs for achieving efficient antimicrobial outcomes in endodontic studies. Due to the lack of pre-clinical trials and the scarce number of clinical trials in this emergent area, there is still much room for improvement on several fronts.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
We have demonstrated the production of laser bulk nanobubbles (BNB) with ambient radii typically below 500 nm. The gaseous nature of the nanometric objects was confirmed by a focused acoustic pulse that expands the gas cavities to a size that can be visualized with optical microscopy. The BNBs were produced on demand by a collimated high-energy laser pulse in a "clean" way, meaning that no solid particles or drops were introduced in the sample by the generation method. This is a clear advantage relative to the other standard BNB production techniques. Accordingly, the role of nanometric particles in laser bubble production is discussed. The characteristics of the nanobubbles were evaluated with two alternative methods. The first one measures the response of the BNBs to acoustic pulses of increasing amplitude to estimate their rest radius through the calculation of the dynamics Blake threshold. The second one is based on the bubble dissolution dynamics and the correlation of the bubble's lifetime with its initial size. The high reproducibility of the present system in combination with automated data acquisition and analysis constitutes a sound tool for studying the effects of the liquid and gas properties on the stability of the BNBs solution.

Abstract
Nanobubbles (NBs) have a widespread application in antimicrobial activity, wastewater treatment, and ecological restoration due to numerous peculiar characteristics, such as small diameter, long-term stability, and ability to produce hydroxyl radicals. Despite significant applications, only limited comprehensive investigations are available on the role of surfactants and pH in NBs characteristics. Therefore, this study examines the effects of different surfactants (i.e., anionic, cationic, and nonionic) and pH medium on bulk NB formation, diameter, concentration, bubble size distribution (BSD), ζ-potential, and stability. The effect of surfactant at concentrations above and below the critical micelle concentration was investigated. NBs were generated in deionized (DI) water using a piezoelectric transducer. The stability of NBs was assessed by tracking the variation in diameter and concentration over time. In a neutral medium, the diameter of NBs is smaller than in other surfactant or pH mediums. The diameter, concentration, BSD, and stability of NBs are strongly influenced by the ζ-potential rather than the solution medium. BSD curve shifts to a smaller bubble diameter when the magnitude of ζ-potential is high in any solution. In pure water, surfactant, and pH mediums, NBs have existed for a long time. NBs have a shorter life span in environments with a pH ≤ 3. Surfactant adsorption on the surface of NBs increases with increasing surfactant concentration up to a certain limit, beyond which it declines substantially. The Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO) theory was used to interpret the NBs stability, resulting in a total potential energy barrier that is positive and greater than 45.55 kBT for 6 ≤ pH ≤ 11, whereas for pH < 6, the potential energy barrier essentially vanishes. Moreover, an effort has also been made to explicate the plausible prospect of ion distribution and its alignment surrounding NBs in cationic and anionic surfactants. This study will extend the in-depth investigation of NBs for industrial applications involving NBs.

Abstract
Micro-nanobubbles can spontaneously generate hydroxyl free radicals (OH). Urea is a cheap reductant and can react with NOx species, and their products are nontoxic and harmless N2, CO2 and H2O. In this study, a Wet Direct Recycling Micro-nanobubble Flue Gas Multi-pollutants Removal System (WDRMRS) was developed for the simultaneous removal of NO, SO2 and Hg0. In this system, a micro-nanobubble generator (MNBG) was used to produce a micro-nanobubble gas-liquid dispersion system (MNBGLS) through recycling the urea solution from the reactor and the simulated flue gas composed of N2, NO, SO2 and Hg0. The MNBGLS, which has a large gas-liquid dispersion interface, was recycled continuously from the MNBG to the reactor, thus achieving cyclic absorption of various pollutants. All of the investigated parameters, including the initial pH and temperature of the absorbent as well as the concentrations of urea, NO and SO2 had significant effects on the NO removal efficiency but did not significantly affect the SO2 removal efficiency, whereas only the initial solution pH and NO concentration affected the Hg0 removal efficiency. The analysis results of the reaction mechanism showed that ·OH played a critical role in the removal of various pollutants. After the treatment by this system, the main removal products were Hg0 sediment, SO42- and NH4+ which could be easily recycled. The use of this system (MNBGLS) for the simultaneous removal of NO, SO2 and Hg0 is a new technology application and research. Recycling process based on MNBGLS succeeded in simultaneously removing NO, SO2 and Hg0. The system (MNBGLS) can provide a reference for commercial applications. The removal products are relatively simple and beneficial to recycling, which can reduce the cost of waste gas treatment.

Abstract
Cavitation-based technologies have emerged as a sustainable and effective way to treat natural waters and wastewater, considering their increasing scarcity due to pollution and climate change. For this reason, this work aimed to conduct a scientometric analysis on the topic of cavitation for water and wastewater treatment during the last 20 years, from 2001 to August 2022. We focused on hydrodynamic and ultrasonic cavitation as the prevalent methods of inducing cavitation. Furthermore, an in-depth study on the main trends regarding the number of publications and citations, keywords co-occurrence and evolution, and countries' publication trends was carried out to investigate the future direction of this research topic. The data was gathered from the Web of Science database and analyzed by the Visualization Of Similarities software. This work focused on: i) publication and citation trends, ii) scientific categories, iii) countries' contribution to the topic of cavitation, iv) prominent journals, v) keyword co-occurrence and cluster analysis, and vi) keyword evolution analysis. Results showed a significant increase in publications during the past 5 years. The scientific categories with the highest number of publications were "environmental sciences" and "environmental engineering," with a combined share of 19.4 % of publications. Keywords evolution analysis showed that limited focus was given to topics related to "energy" and "energy efficiency" in the field of cavitation, but with the rising importance of each process's sustainability, the attention given to these concepts will increase in the future. Future directions for the topic of cavitation-related water and wastewater treatments will shift towards more environmentally friendly applications of hydrodynamic and ultrasonic cavitation as well as towards more green and sustainable approaches to address the increasing water pollution problems and shortage. Moreover, it will include other uses besides water treatment such as manufacturing nanomaterials food production and medicine.

Abstract
Microbial contamination of food products is a significant challenge that impacts food safety and quality. This review focuses on bio-based technologies for enhancing the decontamination of raw foods during postharvest processing, preventing cross-contamination, and rapidly detecting microbial risks. The bio-based antimicrobial compositions include bio-based antimicrobial delivery systems and coatings. The antimicrobial delivery systems are developed using cell-based carriers, microbubbles, and lipid-based colloidal particles. The antimicrobial coatings are engineered by incorporating biopolymers with conventional antimicrobials or cell-based antimicrobial carriers. The bio-based sensing approaches focus on replacing antibodies with more stable and cost-effective bio-receptors, including antimicrobial peptides, bacteriophages, DNAzymes, and engineered liposomes. Together, these approaches can reduce microbial contamination risks and enhance the in-situ detection of microbes.

Abstract
The key role of ice in cooking has been neglected. Here, we found negatively charged bulk nanobubbles (BNBs: average size ~60 nm and zeta potential <-20 mV) can be generated in ice-melted water through freeze/thaw-induced cavitation when we studied a local delicacy, 'ice-stewed mutton'. Freeze/thaw-induced BNBs are so robust that they can, in turn, isolate food from water; in this way, they protect and enhance the delicacy by protecting protein structures and preventing flavorful components from being lost. In comparison to cooking with ordinary water, cooking with ice can switch 'stewing' to 'BBQ', which has been proved experimentally via diverse characterization from the nano to micro scale. This study not only provides a novel mechanism for ice-based cooking but also might shed light on the design of potential applications of BNBs in chemical engineering and biomedicine.

[PMID: 36402060 DOI: 10.1016/j.watres.2022.119360] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/02/2022] [Revised: 10/19/2022] [Accepted: 11/12/2022] [Indexed: 06/16/2023]
Abstract
Bubble aeration has been widely applied in water/wastewater treatment, however its low gas utilization rate results in high energy consumption. Application of micro-nanobubbles (MNB) has emerged as a process with the potential to significantly increase gas utilisation due to their high relative surface area and high gas-liquid mass transfer efficiency. In this study, we demonstrate through calibrated models that MNB of an optimum bubble size can shrink and burst at or below the water surface enabling (1) all encapsulated gas to thoroughly dissolve in water, and (2) the bursting of nanobubbles to potentially generate free radicals. Through the understanding of MNB dimensional characteristics and bubble behaviour in water, a dynamic model that integrated force balance (i.e. buoyancy force, gravity, drag force, Basset force and virtual mass force), and mass transfer was developed to describe the rising velocity and radius variation of MNB along its upward trajectory. Unlike for conventional millimetre-sized bubbles, intensive gas dissolution of MNBs led to radius reduction for small bubbles, while a large initial radius triggers bubble swelling. The initial water depth was also crucial, where greater depth could drive the potential for bubble shrinkage so that they were more liable to contract. For example, the optimum bubble size of air (42-194 μm) and oxygen (127-470 μm) MNB that could achieve complete gas transfer (100% gas utilisation) for a range of specific water depths (0.5-10 m) were calculated. The modelling results for microbubbles (10-530 μm) were well validated by the experimental data (R2>0.85). However, the validation of the modelling results for nanobubble (<1 μm) aeration requires further study due to a lack of available empirical data. In this study, the proposed model and analysis provided new insights into understanding bubble dynamics in water and offered fundamental guidance for practitioners looking to upgrade bubble aeration system.

Abstract
In this study, the possibility of using mixing water containing O2 and O3 micro-nano bubbles (M-NBs) in concrete technology was investigated. In particular, the effect of micro-nano bubbles on the durability and frost resistance of concrete was analyzed. Concretes with two types of micro-nano bubbles were studied. The physical properties of both the modified concretes and the reference concrete were determined, i.e., specific and apparent density, porosity, weight absorption and coefficient of water absorption. Mechanical parameters based on compressive and flexural strength were tested after 14 and 28 days of curing. Concrete durability was determined on the basis of frost resistance and resistance to salt crystallization. The pore distribution in the cement matrix was determined based on porosimetry studies. The use of water with micro-nano bubbles of O2 and O3, among others, contributed to a reduction in the water absorption coefficient from 42.7% to 52.3%, in comparison to the reference concrete. The strength characterizing the concrete with O3 increased by 61% after 28 days, and the frost resistance after 150 F-T cycles increased by 2.4 times. Resistance to salt crystallization improved by 11% when water with O3 was used.

Abstract
Microbubble (MB) technology constitutes a suite of promising low-cost technologies with potential applications in various sectors. Microbubbles (MBs) are tiny gas bubbles with diameters in the micrometre range of 10-100 μm. Along with their small size, they share special characteristics like slow buoyancy, large gas-liquid interfacial area and high mass-transfer efficiency. Initially, the review examines the key dissimilarities among the different types of microbubble generators (MBG) towards economic large-scale production of MBs. The applications of MBs to explore their effectiveness at different stages of wastewater treatment extending from aeration, separation/ flotation, ozonation, disinfection and other processes are investigated. A summary of the recent advances of MBs in real and synthetic wastewater treatment, existing research gaps, and limitations in upscaling of the technology, conclusion and future recommendations is detailed. A critical analysis of the energetics and treatment cost of combined approaches of MB technology with other advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) is carried out highlighting the potential applicability of hybrid technology in large-scale wastewater treatment.

Abstract
This study investigated the morphological and bulk handling properties of milk protein concentrate (MPC) powders manufactured from incorporating micro- and nano-bubbles (MNB) before spray drying. Control MPC powders (C-MPC; no MNB treatment) and MNB-treated MPC powders (MNB-MPC; MPC dispersions passed through the MNB system and subsequently spray dried) were characterized in terms of particle size, shape factors, stability, variable flow rate, shear cell tests, compressibility, and wall friction. The MPC powders produced after the MNB injection process had better flowability and lower basic flow energy. Shear tests showed that C-MPC powders were more cohesive than MNB-MPC powders. The MNB-MPC powders had lower flow rate index values, lower wall friction angles, more rounded shape, and significant differences in powder compressibility compared with C-MPC powders. Overall, the results demonstrated that MNB incorporation during spray drying can produce ingredients with comparable morphological characteristics while improving the bulk powder properties.
