With the advancement of technology and the increasing demand for environmental protection, defoamer technology is constantly innovating and developing. In the future, defoamers will develop towards higher efficiency, environmental friendliness, and intelligence.

technological innovation：

1. Application of Nanotechnology : The introduction of nanotechnology provides new ideas for the development of defoamers. Nanometer defoamer has higher surface activity, can more efficiently destroy the structure of foam, while reducing the dosage and cost. In addition, nanoparticles can enhance the stability and durability of defoamers.

2.Biobased defoamers : With the deepening of sustainable development concepts, biobased defoamers have gradually become a research hotspot. This type of defoamer is made from natural renewable resources such as vegetable oil, starch, etc., through biological fermentation or chemical modification. They not only have good defoaming performance, but also have advantages such as good biodegradability, non-toxic and harmless, which meet environmental protection requirements.

3. Intelligent defoamer : Intelligent defoamers can automatically adjust their defoaming effect according to changes in environmental conditions (such as pH value, temperature, ionic strength, etc.). This type of defoamer typically contains responsive functional groups that can sense and respond to external stimuli, thereby maintaining optimal defoaming performance under different operating conditions.

Development Trends：

1.Greening : With the increasingly strict environmental regulations, greening will be the main trend for the future development of defoamers. This includes developing low toxicity, low residue, and easily degradable defoamers to reduce potential harm to the environment and human health.

2.Multifunctional : Future defoamers will not only have excellent defoaming performance, but may also have other functions such as sterilization, scale prevention, corrosion prevention, etc. This multifunctional defoamer will better meet the complex and ever-changing water treatment needs.

3.Customization : Customized defoamers will become the mainstream in the market according to the specific needs of different industries and processes. By accurately matching the performance of defoamers with practical application scenarios, water treatment efficiency and economic benefits can be significantly improved.

4.Intelligentization : With the continuous development of technologies such as the Internet of Things and big data, intelligence will also become an important direction for the development of defoamer technology. Through real-time monitoring and data analysis, the dosage and usage time of defoamers can be optimized, further improving the automation level and operational efficiency of water treatment systems.

In short, the technological innovation and development trend of defoamers for water treatment will revolve around greening, multifunctionality, customization, and intelligence. These trends will drive the defoamer industry forward and contribute more to the sustainable development of the water treatment industry.
