Providing in-depth coverage of the science of defoaming, this book describes the mode of action of antifoams, presenting the relevant theory and the supporting experimental evidence. Chapters discuss the intrinsic properties of foam, experimental methods for measuring those properties, and techniques used in establishing the mode of action of antifoams. Separate chapters deal with the effect of antifoam concentration and the process of deactivation of antifoams. The book also addresses defoaming by mechanical means and scientific issues associated with the application of defoaming in radically different contexts.
