Transient bubble formation experiments are investigated on polysilicon micro-resisters having dimensions of 95 μm in length, 10 μm or 5 μm in width, and 0.5 μm in thickness. Micro resisters act as both resistive heating sources and temperature transducers simultaneously to measure the transient temperature responses beneath the thermal bubbles. The micro bubble nucleation processes can be classified into three groups depending on the levels of the input current. When the input current level is low, no bubble is nucleated. In the middle range of the input current, a single spherical bubble is nucleated with a waiting period up to 2 sec while the wall temperature can drop up to 8°C depending on the magnitude of the input current. After the formation of a thermal bubble, the resister temperature rises and reaches a steady state eventually. The bubble growth rate is found proportional to the square root of time that is similar to the heat diffusion controlled model as proposed in the macro scale boiling experiments. In the group of high input current, a single bubble is nucleated immediately after the current is applied. A first-order model is proposed to characterize the transient bubble nucleation behavior in the micro-scale and compared with experimental measurements.

In this paper processing mineralogy analysis was carried on the secondary crude ore of which the characteristic of the separating was analyzed. Tests were carried on the crude ore, which is of the secondary grinding of the rich ore manufacture system of Jinchuan mineral processing plant, by using Cyclonic-static Micro-bubble Column Flotation. The result of the tests had proved that Cyclonic-Static Micro-bubble Columns Flotation is expert at recoverying the fine ores, and middling-regrinding is a feasible kind of method to improving the recovery.

The generation method of dissolved gas micro bubble is introduced in the paper. The micro bubble producing process can be divided into two stages-nucleation and expansion through analysis. The formation process and the free energy change of the micro bubble is analyzed according to the homogeneous nucleation theory, free energy change formula of the two process is derived, and relation between bubble radius and formation bubble number under certain conditions is also discussed. It is concluded that the smaller the radius of formed bubbles, the more free energy change and initial energy are needed according to the analysis of the relation above.

The present research applies the microelectronmechanical system (MEMS) technology to design and fabricate a novel micro-bubble generator by using a piezoelectric actuator. The main structure of the proposed generator adopts an annular piezoelectric ceramic which is coupled with a nickel nozzle plate. In the experiment, a flow visualization setup employs a high magnification microscope and a high speed charge coupled device (CCD) camera to photograph the time evolution of meniscus shape of gaseous bubbles dispensed from the micro-bubble generator. The bubble formation process including the effects of inlet gas pressure as well as driving voltage and resonance frequency on generated bubble size is also discussed in the study.
