摘要:
A flotation cell for removal of solid particles contained in a liquid has, upstream of its inlet, a mixing chamber providing a passage through which the liquid passes to the cell inlet and in which the liquid is charged with air or other gas to form bubbles therein. This chamber is provided with at least one pair of opposed, converging walls extending across the passage to form opposite faces of a liquid flow path to a restricted gap between these walls at their greatest convergence, and so arranged that substantially all the liquid flowing through the chamber is forced to pass through such a flow path. Gas injection means provides a flow of gas under super-atmospheric pressure into the liquid flowing between these walls in the vicinity of the restricted gap between them to form bubbles in the liquid distributed across the path of flow.

A froth flotation apparatus for elimination of solid particle impurities contained within a liquid includes a vessel defining a flotation cell which includes an upstanding foam discharge conduit, an inlet conduit communicating with the vessel such that fluid flowing through the inlet conduit and into the vessel moves in a vortical fashion within the vessel, a skimmer, and a sparger. The skimmer consists of a generally cylindrical roller which is rotatably mounted between the discharge conduit and a side wall of the vessel and is buoyant so that it floats on the surface of the fluid within the vessel such that it is rotated by the vortical movement of the fluid within the vessel to prevent buildup of foam and maintain the motion of the fluid within the vessel. The sparger includes a substantially cylindrical porous element mounted on a tubular shaft which is rotatably mounted within the inlet conduit and driven by a motor. Compressed air is forced through the porous element to aerate the fluid entering the vessel. Two or more flotation cells may be arranged in a tower to provide series operation in which the liquid effluent of one cell flows downwardly by gravity into a subsequent cell, thereby eliminating the need for additional mechanical pumps.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an oil-water separator requiring no complicated multistage process or special equipment, having good handleability and operation management property, and allowing high-level oil-water separation of heated oil-containing water to reduce heat loss; an oil-water separating system using the oil-water separator; an oil-water separating method; and a water reusing method. SOLUTION: In an in-situ recovery method for producing bitumen from oil sand, bitumen is taken out from a heated bitumen mixture fluid collected from the underground, and oil contained in the heated oil-containing water separated from the mixture fluid is removed by the oil-water separator. The oil-water separator includes: a vessel 15e into which the oil-containing water 20B is introduced; an immersion filtration film 61 built in the vessel 15e to perform filtration while being immersed in the heated oil-containing water; and a bubble generation means 16 supplying bubbles 53 toward the filtration film 61.

摘要:
A flotation machine consists of a flotation chamber and a rotating gas diffuser. The flotation chamber has a lower mixing chamber and an upper quiescent zone for maximizing float accumulation. The rotating diffuser produces ultra fine bubbles as small as 50 microns in diameter. The size of the bubble diameter can be controlled and produced in any size from less than 50 microns to greater than 10 mm to enable flotation of various materials and/or various sized fractions of materials. The ultra fine bubbles are produced by the diffuser in the same size range as bubbles produced by dissolved air flotation, but without the necessity of pressurizing gas in a first tank followed by depressurizing in a second tank. Since the diffuser is located within the flotation chamber and can vary bubble size, it also provides the advantage of sparged air flotation. This rotating diffuser configuration is a low drag thin disc and, when combined with a specially designed flotation chamber, embodies a flotation machine which produces higher product yields over a wider range of feed size fractions utilizing significantly less energy.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for treating soil contaminated by at least one radioactive nuclide, such as cesiumCs.SOLUTION: A process includes at least one step for separating a radioactive nuclide by dispersed air flotation foam. The process includes the following steps. (a) Air foam is injected into a suspension liquid containing soil and at least one collector, and foam is formed by the suspension liquid. (b) At least a portion of the foam is separated from a remaining part of the suspension liquid. The collector is selected among, for example, fatty acid, fatty acid salt and cationic surfactant.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a deinking device capable of dispersing air bubbles in a waste paper starting liquid in a sufficiently diffused state. SOLUTION: The deinking device includes a bubble generator 47 generating air bubbles 48 from a lower part of a treatment tank 46. The bubble generator 47 comprises a porous object disposed in the lower part of the treatment tank 46 and an air feeder 61 for feeding air to the porous object. The porous object has a bubble spouting surface 68 through which air supplied by the air feeder 61 is spouted into the treatment tank 46, and the bubble spouting surface 68 is formed approximately entirely over the bottom surface within the treatment tank 46.
