Abstract
The rupture of aqueous wetting films on solid surfaces is an important step in a lot of coagulation processes in colloidal systems. Particularly, the interaction of an air bubble with a solid particle in the industrial flotation process [1,2], which is widely used in mineral processing, in paper recycling and waste water treatment, the forming, thinning and rupture of thin intervening water films play a crucial role. Whether the film rupture takes place in the short contact time of the particle and the bubble (millisecond scale) or not is of decisive consequence for flotation success and yield.
