Froth flotation is a process for selectively separating hydrophobic materials from hydrophilic. This is used in mineral processing, paper recycling and wastewater treatment industries. Historically this was first used in the mining industry, where it was one of the great enabling technologies of the 20th century.
Flotation constitutes a gravity separation process, which originated from the minerals processing field. However, it has, nowadays, found several other applications, as for example in the wastewater treatment field. Concerning the necessary bubble generation method, typically dispersedair or dissolvedair flotation was mainly used. Various types of biological materials were tested and floated ...

Electrolytic flotation, a rather unconventional flotation technique used in effluent treatment, was investigated on pyrite; the process was enhanced by xanthate and also a cationic collector. This was then compared with classical floatability experiments. Zeta‐potential measurements, under similar pulp conditions, were carried out to explain the process mechanism. The mineral flotation ...
Abstract This work presents a process for phenol removal comprising a reaction step in which phenol is polymerized in the presence of an enzyme followed by a separation step involving dissolved air flotation (DAF). A crude preparation from horseradish roots was used as a low purity source of the enzyme horseradish peroxidase (HRP). The technical feasibility of the process was studied at ...

· Flotation is a density separation process which is influenced by physicochemical interaction between a particle and a bubble. In biotechnology, it finds application in the solidliquid separation of biomass. The process mechanism depends on the formation of stable microorganismbubblecomplexes by collision and adsorption.
Flotation is a process in LiquidSolid Separation technology whereby solids in suspension are recovered by their attachment to gas (usually air) bubbles, usually with objective of removing the solids from the liquid. The particles most effectively removed are in the size range from 10 to 200 μm. The particlebubble aggregates that are formed have a density less than the suspension itself ...
The use of flotation for the treatment of wastewaters in general, but especially for the removal of oil, grease, general organic matter, and suspended solids, is well established as a low energy process. Polyelectrolytes (PEs) can enhance performance without adding to the solids load that occurs with inorganic additives such as alum. The bridging of pollutants and the attachment of the ...

Bioprocesses for the production of renewable energies and materials lack efficient separation processes for the utilized microorganisms such as algae and yeasts. Dissolved air flotation (DAF) and microflotation are promising approaches to overcome this problem. The efficiency of these processes depends on the ability of microorganisms to aggregate with microbubbles in the flotation tank.
01/10/1999· A conventional flotation process is carried out by sparging air into a solution that contains the compound to be removed (the colligend). The compound adsorbs to the gas bubbles and is removed by flotation. Surfactants are often added to the solution of the colligend to improve its removal. Surfactants act as collectors when contacted with the colligend, in some cases causing its precipitation ...
