Thickness of foam thin films in forced drainage experiments: metal leaching application
Metal leaching requiring an oxidizing gas is more efficient in foam than in solution. However, the control of the liquid in foam and especially in the thin film between bubbles through which the gas has to permeate is critical. During a metal leaching process using foam, this metastable soft structure that is foam swells and de-swells with an impact on its stability. Two different scales are affected: the foam liquid channels (sub-micron scale) and the inter-bubble thin film (10-100 nm). We have recently demonstrated that SANS technique is perfectly suitable to probe simultaneously these two scales within foam and to observe different kinetics of its structure evolution that brings a lot for the understanding for the process and finally its optimisation. The objective of this proposal is to probe by SANS technique a foam structure under controlled forced drainage conditions and this for the first time.
