  • Method for producing an aqueous foam
    Patent number: 10759921
    Abstract: A method for producing an aqueous foam comprising (a) preparing a solution comprising at least one surfactant and at least one protic polar solvent, (b) bringing the solution into contact with a pressurised gas to obtain a two-phase mixture, and (c) injecting the two-phase mixture to obtain the aqueous foam after expansion or dispersion of the gas. The solution further comprises at least one gelling compound chosen from a non-nitrogenous polysaccharide and gelatin. An aqueous foam obtained by such method and uses of the same, in particular in the fields of decontamination, the purification of effluents, or the defusing or containment of explosive devices or suspected explosive devices.

  • METHOD FOR PRODUCING AN AQUEOUS FOAM, AQUEOUS FOAM OBTAINED BY SUCH A METHOD AND USES THEREOF
    Publication number: 20180355139
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing an aqueous foam comprising the following steps: (a) preparing a solution comprising at least one surfactant and at least one protic polar solvent, (b) bringing the solution into contact with a pressurised gas, whereby a two-phase mixture is obtained, and (c) injecting the two-phase mixture, whereby, after expansion or dispersion of the gas, the aqueous foam is obtained. According to the invention, the solution further comprises at least one gelling compound chosen from a non-nitrogenous polysaccharide and gelatin. The invention also relates to the aqueous foam obtained by such a method and to the uses of same, in particular in the fields of decontamination, the purification of effluents, or the defusing or containment of explosive devices or suspected explosive devices.
