being studied, 1 μL of MIBC and/or, ESCAID,and 10 μl
of 0.1% PAM a were added. In the middle of the cuvette,
an air bubble is formed with a syringe. The bubble volume
was kept constant at 6 µl during all the experiments. The
particles were agitated for 30 s to facilitate bubble-particle
attachment. Thereafter, the stirring was switched off and
images were taken once particles in the suspension have
sedimented. An image of the loaded bubble was captured
using a high-performance and resolution camera (OCA
dataphysics Instruments).
