Abstract

The study of bubble sizing in the controlled tests and a stirred, spranged tank of the minerals processing industries was performed. The acoustic signals of bubbles continuously produced from a nozzle at a higher airflow rates were also studied. The results showed that in some cases it was possible to acoustically estimate the spatial distribution of void fraction. It was also found that nonlinear effects during the bubble rise alter the frequency.
