Nomenclature Recommendations for Adsorptive Bubble Separation Methods

Abstract

Recently several spearation techniques employing adsorption on bubbles have been introduced. As these methods must be added to the already well-established techniques using this general mechanism for separation, certain confusions have arisen in the literature in regard to the naming of these operations. In this note we should like to recommend nomenclature for these techniques. These recommendations have also been submitted to the I. U. P. A. C. subcommittee on nomenclature in the field of surface activity.
