Froth flotation is a process that selectively separates materials based upon whether they are water repelling (hydrophobic) or have an affinity for water (hydrophilic). Importantly, the word flotation is also used in the literature to describe the process in density separation in which lighter microplastics float to the surface of a salt solution.

Dissolved Air Flotation works on the principle of letting air, dissolved in water under pressure, form micro bubbles (10-50 micron) at the bottom of a tank. The microbubbles rise up to the surface, and as they form and grow, the bubbles take oil, greases, and small solids with them. The physics of this process are described below.

Dissolved air flotation (DAF) is a commonly used treatment process in many facilities for treating oil/water emulsions. In a DAF process, air bubbles are injected to reduce the net density of the oil droplets where the adhesion of air bubbles on these droplets provides sufficient buoyancy for oil/water separation [9]. Fine air bubbles (in the ...
