Tea film formation in artificial tap water Open
On tea infusions, the formation of a transparent, shiny film which cracks upon disturbance can often be observed. The strength of this film depends on water hardness and tea variety.

Black tea interfacial rheology and calcium carbonate Open
An interfacial phenomenon can be observed in the kitchen in a cup of black tea. When tea is left to cool after steeping, a thin film at the air–water interface can form. In certain conditions, this film is observable by naked eye and, when…

Fluidized calcium carbonate crystallization in alkaline liquids Open
The effects of pH, pellet loading, and available surface area on CaCO₃ pellet growth were measured in highly alkaline liquids. These experiments included three scales. (i) Data from the bench scale reactor were used to predict CaCO₃ pellet…
