Adsorptive Bubble Separation and Dispersed Air Flotation

  • Chapter
Advanced Physicochemical Treatment Processes

Part of the book series: Handbook of Environmental Engineering ((HEE,volume 1002))

Abstract

Adsorptive bubble separation process is a very effective technology for solid-liquid separation that has been in use outside the environmental engineering field for more than 60 years. Originally applied in the field of mining engineering, the process now provides the means for separation and/or concentration of 95% of the world’s base metals and other mineral compounds(1,2). Recently,the adsorptive bubble separation process has become increasingly important in such diverse applications as (a)the separation of algae,seeds,or bacteria from biological reactors,(b)removal of ink from re-pulped.
