Foam Fractionation: Principles & Process DesignListenelement 1
"Foam Fractionation: Principles & Process Design", written by Paul Stevenson & Xueliang Li, is the definitive monograph on how foam fractionation works and its plant implementation. The book begins with exploring the fundamental concepts of a surface-active species adsorbing to a gas-liquid interface, before considering hydrodynamic principles of foam columns. Lemlich's configurations are explored before these are improved via process-intensification. Finally, a case study on the foam fractionation recovery of Nisin is considered.

Foam Engineering: Fundamentals & ApplicationsListenelement 2
On realising that there was a significant disconcect between the scientific understanding of the behaviour of foam and process implementation, Paul Stevenson commissioned contributions from both sides of the divide so as to invoke congruence. "Foam Engineering: Fundamentals & Applications" is a book, edited by Paul Stevenson, that has made steps to address the disconnect. Paul is the author, or joint-author, of application chapters on Froth Flotation, Foam Fractionation and Gas-Liquid Contacting (including Anaerobic Digestion), in addition to the 'fundamental' chapter on Pneumatic Foam.

"Foam Separations" in Comprehensive BiotechnologyListenelement 3
"Comprehensive Biotechnology", edited by Murray Moo-Young, provides a lingua-franca for those working at the nexus of biochemistry and process engineering. Paul Stevenson has contributed the section on 'Foam Separations' for both the 2nd and 3rd editions of this encyclopaedia. The section focusses upon the ability for foams to recover proteins, amino acids and other surfactants from broths, as well as considering opportunites for bio-fermentation and bio-anaerobic digestion.
