The Japanese Society for Multiphase Flow
Second International Workshop on the Application of Fine and Ultrafine Bubbles
October 24-25, 2019, Halifax, Canadaby Yoshikatsu Ueda
Second International Workshop on theApplication of Fine and Ultrafine Bubbles was held
the Innovacorp Centre, 1344 Summer Street, Halifax,NS.
This workshop provided attendees with an
exposure to the different fields in which fine andultrafine bubbles have been advantageously used.
These include: advanced water/wastewater treatment,
mineral processing, chemical and biochemical
multiphase reactors, open-pen and land-based
aquaculture, large-scale algae-culture, hydroponic
agriculture, fabrication of porous metals, productionof foamy materials, deoxygenation of boiler feedwater, and reducing the drag on ship hulls and in
pipelines. Due to the rapid pace of development inthis field, it is necessary to provide a forum in whichsome of the world’s leading experts can share theirexperience with the user community. Conversely,

these experts will gain better understanding of theobstacles that need to be overcome in order toenhance the benefits gained by using this innovativetechnology in the various fields.
The workshop was organized by Prof. Terasaka,K. (Keio University), Prof. Schlüter, M. (Hamburg
University of Technology), Dr. Al Taweel, A.M., Dr.
Donaldson A., and Dr. Haelssig, J. (Dalhousie
University). And each sessions was chaired by Dr.
Aya, N. (National Institute of Advanced Industrial
Science & Technology), Dr. Sun Z. (Mara RenewableCorp.), Dr. Tanigaki, M. (Kyoto University) andmyself.
In this workshop, there were a total of 30
participants and of 16 accepted research papers
included 5 students posters. Participants from Japan,
Canada, China, France and Germany. Latest finebubble applications and standardization on fine andTo Join ICeM:

ICeM NEWSLETTER No.53 (2020) / The Japanese Society for Multiphase Flowultrafine bubbles are introduced Japanese researchers.
Especially interesting topic is a direct measurement
for the internal pressure of ultrafine bubble by Kyoto
Univ. group. European company demonstrated
real-time concentration measurement of fine bubble.
International collaboration research topic was alsopresented as student presentation (“Ultrafine Bubble
Stability During Aquaculture Nutrient Distribution,Mr. Harada, S.)
Dalhousie University staffs arranged laboratory
tour after the workshop. Participants had fruitful
discussion during tours and enjoyed original beer
made by Dalhousie University Lab. For keeping intouch with this these great connections between
countries, next third workshop will be held atGermany.
