Applications of Nanobubbles [S1 E3]
05/15/24 • 22 min
In this episode we explore the multifaceted applications of nanobubbles across a range of
environmental and industrial sectors - from enhancing aquaculture health by addressing infections
like sea lice to improving water quality through the extended half-life of ozone in nanobubble form,
the utility of nanobubbles is proving to be exceptionally wide-ranging.
We see how in the oil and gas industry, nanobubbles facilitate more efficient oil and gas extraction
by lowering the surface tension, thereby enhancing well stimulation and hydrocarbon release.
We discuss the many environmental applications, including the treatment of wastewater, where
reactive oxygen species generated by nanobubbles effectively oxidise harmful compounds, aiding in
compliance with environmental regulations.
In the realm of fuel efficiency and emissions reduction, incorporating nanobubbles into fuels can
lead to more complete combustion within engines, reducing harmful emissions.
This high-level overview captures just a glimpse of the expansive applications of nanobubbles,
underscoring their potential to innovate and enhance various industrial processes and
environmental management techniques.
The upcoming episode in the Nanobubbles 101 series will dive into the generation of nanobubbles,
addressing the challenges, innovations and the scalability of nanobubble technology.

The Science of Nanobubbles [S1 E2]
In this episode, we explore the complexities surrounding nanobubbles, focusing on their generation,
characterisation, and stability. We explain how electric field methods of generating nanobubbles yield a notably higher zeta
potential and higher nanobubble populations per unit volume, leading to longer-lived bubbles compared to those produced through mechanical methods. We look at how rigorous experimentation, including laser light scattering, has provided a deeper understanding of nanobubble population dynamics over time. We touch upon the critical factors of temperature and pressure sensitivity of nanobubbles, highlighting their implications for industrial applications.
This conversation sets the stage for our next episode, where we will dive deeper into the environmental and industrial applications of nanobubbles, building on the foundational scientific
concepts discussed today.
Thank you for joining us, and we look forward to continuing this fascinating exploration of nanobubble technology in our upcoming discussions.
