Atomic Force Microscopy images of surface nanobubbles on the carbonate mineral dolomite (NERC grant NE/M011429/1)
Non-contact Atomic Force Microscopy images (NC-AFM) of surface nanobubbles on the carbonate mineral dolomite. Since surface nanobubbles were first imaged in 2000, they have been of growing interest to research due to their long lived properties, with reported lifetimes as long as several hours. Images of nanobubbles were produced under water, collector and depressant conditions using the air water supersaturation method. These are the first images of surface nanobubbles on dolomite. Surface nanobubbles could play a part in the processing of dolomite via froth flotation. These images lay a foundation for future analysis of the effect of nanobubbles in flotation.

Non contact- atomic force microscopy (NC-AFM) was conducted on a Park Systems (South Korea) atomic force microscope XE100 located in Helmholtz Institute of Resource Technology Freiberg, Germany. The NC- AFM was combined with Raman Spectroscopy and an optical microscope to enable mineral identification and mapping. Images were produced in either 36 µm x 36 µm or 8 µm x 8µm sizes. Nanobubbles were generated using previously described air water supersaturation method. Both Contact cantilever (Park systems nanotechnology solutions partner) PPP-CONTSCR 10M and ContAl-G Cantilever were used with a spring constant of 0.2N/m.4 The liquid cell used was of the same composition previous described by Rudolph and Peuker (2014).
