Micro-nano bubbles (MNBs) are tiny bubbles with diameters on the order of micrometers and nanometers, showing great potential in environmental remediation. However, the application is only in the beginning stages and remains to be intensively studied. In order to explore the possible use of MNBs in groundwater contaminant removal, this study focuses on the transport of MNBs in porous media and dissolution processes. The bubble diameter distribution was obtained under different conditions by a laser particle analyzer. The permeability of MNB water through sand was compared with that of air-free water. Moreover, the mass transfer features of dissolved oxygen in water with MNBs were studied. The results show that the bubble diameter distribution is influenced by the surfactant concentration in the water. The existence of MNBs in pore water has no impact on the hydraulic conductivity of sand. Furthermore, the dissolved oxygen (DO) in water is greatly increased by the MNBs, which will predictably improve the aerobic bioremediation of groundwater. The results are meaningful and instructive in the further study of MNB research and applications in groundwater bioremediation.

Ozone (O) is an effective agent for post-harvest fruit preservation against diverse microorganisms. In this study, a cost-effective ozone micro-nano bubbles ice (O-MNBI) was prepared, characterized, and subsequently used to precool litchi. The optimal protocols for O-MNBI production were as follows: water (2 °C, pH = 7) was pumped into a micro-nano O bubble generator for 10 min aeration treatment.

A multifunctional microfluidic chip integrated with perfusion cell culture and in situ SERS detection of cell secretion was designed and developed for the detection of IL-6 secretion from LPS-stimulation of A549 cells in this paper. Researching works were focused on A549 cell activity and secretion in the constructed LPS-stimulated A549 cells model. On the designed microchip, a bubble trap chamber was designed to remove the bubbles in the culture medium which could also be simultaneously preheated by a split hot plate.

This study focused on the application of micro-nano bubbles (MNBs) water generated using air or oxygen (O), as an alternative to chlorine-based wash for fruits. For the in vitro and in vivo investigation, 10 spore or conidia/mL Colletotrichum gloeosporioides suspension was used, and treated with solutions of air- or O-MNB for 30- or 60-min, sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), and untreated (as control). In the second experiment, freshly harvested guava fruits were washed with tap water (control), NaOCl (standard practice), air-, or O-MNB (for 15- or 30-min).
