Flotation

The electrolytic flotation has mainly been used for small plants with capacity between 20 and 30 m 3 h −1. In dissolved air flotation, the bubbles are produced by controlling the pressure of water saturated with air. Three main processes of dissolved air flotation include vacuum flotation, microflotation, and pressurized flotation.
