Green defoamers, namely bio based and biodegradable defoamers, will become an important development direction in the field of water treatment in the future. This kind of defoamer can not only effectively eliminate foam during use, but also degrade rapidly after treatment, without causing secondary pollution to the environment. The development of green defoamers requires interdisciplinary collaboration, including experts in chemistry, biology, environmental science, and other fields working together to achieve the greening, harmlessness, and high efficiency of defoamers.

With the rapid development of technologies such as the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence, the development of intelligent defoaming systems will become possible. This system can automatically adjust the amount and timing of defoamer addition according to the water quality, treatment process and foam production to maximize the defoaming effect. At the same time, intelligent systems can provide real-time feedback on defoaming effects through data analysis, helping operators adjust processing strategies in a timely manner and improve overall processing efficiency.

In the production and use of defoamers, attention should be paid to circular economy and resource recovery. By recycling and reusing discarded defoamers, not only can environmental pollution be reduced, but production costs can also be lowered. In addition, companies can explore combining defoamers with other water treatment technologies to achieve maximum resource utilization.

In the face of global water scarcity and environmental pollution, international cooperation is particularly important in promoting the development of water treatment technology. Countries should jointly formulate technical standards and environmental requirements for defoamers, and promote the standardized and standardized development of the defoamer industry. At the same time, international cooperation can promote the exchange and sharing of defoamer technology, and promote the common progress of global water treatment technology.

Although defoamers for water treatment have broad development prospects, they still face many challenges. For example, the development of green defoamers needs to break through technological bottlenecks, the development of intelligent defoaming systems needs to solve cost and technical problems, and circular economy and resource recovery need to establish a sound recycling and treatment system. Therefore, enterprises and research institutions should increase their R&D investment, strengthen technological innovation and talent cultivation to address these challenges.

Looking ahead to the future, with the continuous advancement of technology and the improvement of environmental awareness, defoamers for water treatment will develop towards a greener, more efficient, intelligent, and sustainable direction. This will not only help promote the advancement of water treatment technology, but also make important contributions to ensuring global water resource security and ecological environment health.
