Abstract
Adsorptive bubble separation processes make use of the selective adsorption of impurities at the gas/liquid or gas/solid interfaces of rising bubbles. The adsorbed impurities, which can be in soluble or insoluble form, are carried to the top of the bubble separation reactor, where they can be removed from the aqueous system (1,131,141,144). TO’Day, the adsorptive bubble separation processes are used for a variety of solute/liquid and solid/liquid separation applications (2–4,12–79) and many analytical and control methods have been developed for control and monitoring of the processes (5–11,14,53, 63,102—1–3,131,134). The process applications include water purification (12–18, 28–36,55,56,78–83, 89,92,101,106,107,111,112,118–124, 130,138,142–147), storm water runoff treatment (19,61,104,105,149), toxic substance removal (20,21,31–34,57, 63,107), algae separation (22,23,48,87), odor substance stripping (24,107), bacteria separation (25,26,55,56), groundwater purification (27,109–111,133,150), industrial waste treatment (49–54,57,58,60–78,81,82,93,96–101, 113–117,119,127,129,132,137,144), municipal primary and secondary clarification (40–47,85,86,91–95, 108,126,135,136, 139,140,146), tertiary clarification (88,89,115), sludge thickening (3,13,37–39,59,90, 125, 141), deinking operation, mineral compounds separation (31,57,84,154), and so forth. While there are various adsorptive bubble separation processes technically available, dissolved air flotation is the most commonly used flotation process in industry and municipalities tO’Day. In particular, dissolved air flotation is gradually replacing conventional sedimentation processes for clarification. Recently, new sequencing batch reactors (SBR) involving the use of dissolved air flotation (DAF) instead of sedimentation have been developed (133,151–153). The new SBR-DAF can be either a biological process or a physicochemical process.
