The action mechanism of foaming agent

Foaming agent is a kind of compound foaming agent which is made by a variety of surfactants and auxiliary agents 

according to a unique process. It is mainly used for foam fracturing of formation, oil recovery, gas recovery and

 drainage of Wells with the same production of oil and gas and water, which has a very signifi canteffect on reducing

 the pressure of liquid column in the well, improving the working state of the well and

 increasing the recovery rate. The product can also be used in workover sand washing operations to prevent or 

reduce sand washing losses and improve the efficiency of measures. Now, let's see, what is the mechanism of 

action of the foaming agent

The role of foaming agent

(1) Prevent bubbles from merging, so that the bubbles dispersed in the pulp have a small diameter and a certain life.

2, increase the mechanical strength of the bubble.

3, reduce the movement speed of the bubble, increase the residence time of the bubble in the pulp.

4, the type and amount of stable bubbles affect the size, viscosity and brittleness of bubbles, affecting the flotation speed.

5, and collector co-adsorbed on the surface of the ore particles, and play a synergistic role.

6. Co-existing with collector in micelles, affecting the critical micelle concentration of collector.

7, can be used to emulsify the collector or accelerate the dissolution of the collector.

8, can increase the selectivity of the flotation process.
