suppression efficiency stabilizes or drops as the number of
contacts increases.
For Figure 6, after the first contact between electro-
lyte-Licorice and the organic phase, the average mist con-
centration decreases significantly from 7.038 mg/m3 to
3.337 mg/m3, like Figure 5. This suggests that the first con-
tact was essential in the mist suppression. Unlike Figure 5,
the average mist concentration increases after the initial
contact (3.337 mg/m3 at one contact to 4.217 mg/m3 at
five contacts). This shows that successive interactions may
be ineffective in reducing mist concentrations, possibly
even increasing them slightly. After the fifth contact, the
average mist concentration stabilizes around 4.074 mg/m3
after ten contacts, showing that additional contacts have
minimal impact on mist suppression. The following figures
also show the suppression efficiency of electrolyte-FC1100
and organic and electrolyte-Licorice and organic after each
contact. The suppression efficiency begins at 36.173%,
