摘要

Recent advances in microfluidic technologies have enabled production of micro-scale compound bubbles that consist of gaseous cores surrounded by thin liquid shells, achieving control and uniformity not possible using conventional techniques. These compound bubbles have demonstrated enormous utility as functional materials for drug delivery, as ultra-lightweight structural materials, as engineered acoustic materials, and also as separating agents for extraction of metal ions from waste fluid streams. Despite these successful demonstrations, compound bubbles have largely remained at the laboratory-scale due to the slow production rates endemic to microfluidics (10 mL h(-1)). Although parallelization approaches have enabled large-scale production of simple emulsions and bubbles, its application to the production of higher order dispersions such as compound bubbles has been limited because the optimal processing window for the production of uniform compound bubbles is relatively narrow and the required channel geometry is quite complex. In this report, we demonstrate the parallelization of multi-stage flow focusing droplet generators that produce compound ternary bubbles. We parallelize 400 multi-stage FFG devices, generating up to 3 L (approximate to 10(11) bubbles) of monodispersed (CV 5%) compound bubbles in less than 1 hour. We show that it is critical to use multi-height channels and operate each individual generator in a flow regime that is minimally sensitive to variations in the flow rate to reliably produce uniform compound bubbles. To demonstrate the utility of our parallelized device, we take advantage of the buoyancy and the high mass transfer rate that comes from the thin shells of gas-in-oil-in-water compound bubbles to rapidly extract Nd ions from a model waste stream.
