The coalescence of bubbles and drops is a very important phenomenon in multiphase flow systems, which controls the bubble size distribution and the interfacial area available for heat and mass transfer in multiphase reactors. In the present communication, we will resume the results of our observations of the coalescence of bubbles in surfactant solutions, at controlled approaching velocity
between bubbles. Experiments were performed using high speed visualization of the life span of pairs of bubbles. Detailed study of the dependency of the coalescent efficiency, the contact time till coalesce and the transition concentration, on the dynamics of adsorption of the surfactant molecule
present in the solution and the state of contamination of the bubbles at the moment of contact. Experiments were done with five nonionic surfactants covering wide range of adsorption dynamics characteristics.
