Abstract

Some hydromechanical aspects of the generation of a dispersed gas phase by the electrochemical method and with tubular microfiltration membranes under the action of liquid phase inertia and the hindered motion of gas particles in the gravity field are considered as they apply to microflotation. Experimentally verified equations for calculating the average diameter of spherical gas bubbles and the velocity of their hindered motion are proposed.
