Abstract

Fine bubble technology has been applied in many fields, including semiconductor processing, waste water treatment, and agricultural development. Fine bubble technology has the advantages of being environmentally benign, and ease of production and use when compared with other processes that involve chemicals or biological agents. However, the mechanisms of fine bubble applications in many aspects still require exploration. The characterization of fine bubbles is one of the essential issues for better understanding the technology. This article reviews modern particle characterization technologies, especially those that can be used to characterize fine bubbles, and briefly reports on some applications of fine bubbles.
