FoamingVerhalten
FoamingVerhalten describes the propensity of a liquid to generate and stabilize foam when subjected to gas dispersion or mechanical agitation. It is a concern in many industrial and laboratory processes because foam can affect mass transfer, mixing, filtration, and product quality. Foaming behavior results from the interaction of interfacial physics, liquid properties, and process conditions, and it is influenced by the presence of surface-active species (surfactants), impurities, temperature, and pressure.
Key factors include surfactants which accumulate at the gas–liquid interface and lower surface tension, while also
Foaming is typically characterized by foaming tendency (how readily foam forms) and foam stability (how long
FoamingVerhalten is relevant in food and beverage production, brewing, fermentation, cosmetic manufacturing, paper and polymer processing,
