However, surfactant-based foam stability deteriorates at higher temperature. Currently, nanoparticles have been widely tested in foamability and foam stability. Hence, this paper is aimed to investigate the stability of nanoparticles-foam at different temperatures using 5,000 ppm anionic alpha olefin sulfonate surfactant in 3.0 wt sodium chloride, and 1.0 wt of sodium hydroxide to control the system pH. Silicon dioxide and aluminium oxide nanoparticles were used to examine the effect of nanoparticles in stabilizing foam. Foam stability was measured based on foam half-life in static condition. The performance of the nanoparticles were analysed at 25°C, 40°C, 60°C and 90°C. It was found that aluminium oxide nanoparticles enhanced foam better compared to silicon dioxide nanoparticles. These results were supported with the microscopic observation of foam structure and lamellae inside the glass tube. These findings contributed to the understanding of the effects of nanoparticles in enhancing foam stability. © IEOM Society International. date: 2018 publisher: IEOM Society official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85051509007&partnerID=40&md5=38025f1962b6c3330f5801e6f6593945 full_text_status: none publication: Proceedings of the International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Operations Management volume: 2018-M pagerange: 365-372 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9781532359446 issn: 21698767 citation: Chea, T.B. and Akhir, N.A.M. and Idris, A.K.
