Fabrication of foam concrete by use of novel foam generator — vortex jet apparatus: study of foam concrete properties

Industrial processes and technologies, 2023
A new method of foam concrete production by use of vortex jet apparatus (VJA) is studied. The foam produced by VJA exhibits high stability and narrow size distribution of the bubbles’ diameter and the latter correlates well with diameters of foam concrete pores.
