The unique design idea of the dissolved-air flotation column is the combined use of dissolved-air flotation and column flotation. The dissolved air release occurred within the column separation system. As a potential application the column was investigated for its performance in separating emulsified oil droplets in oily wastewater. A high separation efficiency was obtained in a series of tests. The aeration performance of the bubble generator used in the dissolved-air flotation column was also studied in particular.展开更多

The traditional water treatment process can hardly achieve satisfactory removal of algae cells. This review examines the impact of pre-oxidation on the removal of cyanobacteria by solid-liquid separation processes. It was reported that the introduction of chemical oxidants such as chlorine, potassium permanganate, and ozone in algae-laden water pretreatment could improve algae removal by the subsequent solid-liquid separation processes. However, over dosed oxidants can result in more serious water quality risks due to significant algae cell lysis and undesirable intracellular organic matter release. It was suggested that moderate pre-oxidation may enhance the removal of cyanobacteria without damaging algae cells. In this article, effects of moderate pretreatment on the solid-liquid separation processes(sedimentation, dissolved air flotation, and membrane filtration) are reviewed.展开更多

Performance effect, influencing factor, control condition have been reviewed and parameters of correlation have been analyzed in this experiment. The experiment and actual performance results indicate that this process is an effective way to remove the COD, suspended solid and colority with the value of 100 mg/L, 50 mg/L and 70 multiple respectively. The effluent meets the requirement of the standards of national sewage discharge. This process features a simple schematic, small location, continuous, reliable performance, strong shock and loading resistance and easy operation. Experimental data can provide scientific evidence and technical support for engineering practice of this process.展开更多

DAF has been successfully used in the treatment of oily water, which is one of the main environmental problems in different industrial facilities. Along with important operational parameters, such as microbubble size and flow rate, the control strategy for the automation of a DAF chamber may be an important tool for increasing efficiency. Controlling the level was the strategy chosen to enhance the separation efficiency in a pilot-scale DAF prototype, with monitoring performed using a computational program in LabVIEW （laboratory virtual instrument engineering workbench）. The findings demonstrate that it is possible to maintain the level of the fluid at a reference value established by the operator using the software program through the application of classic proportional integral derivative controllers. Using this control tool, the efficiency of water-oil separation in the pilot flotation chamber prototype was increased to nearly 98%.展开更多

By using a column with a diameter of 50 mm and a specially made dissolved air releaser, micro-bubbles inside the column can be formed. N2H4H2O was used as reductant, AlCl3 as flocculant, C12H25SO3Na（SDS） as surfactant in the experiment. The effects of pH of wastewater, pressure of dissolved air, ratio of return water, and concentration of flocculant and surfactant on the removal efficiency are studied. The results show that the efficiency of dissolved air released flotation column is much higher than that of other approaches after the operation parameters are optimized, with the reduction ratio of Cr（Ⅵ ） in wastewater reaching 98%. So this technique can be widely used in wastewater treatment展开更多

文摘通过微观分析系统对气浮工艺中的气载絮体进行观测,分别研究了气浮过程中微气泡和气载絮体的特性以及Zeta电位对气载絮体平衡接触角的影响。在0.40 MPa和30%回流比的工况条件下,气泡平均粒径较小,其尺寸主要分布在40~110μm之间,占整体数量90%以上。投加混凝剂聚合氯化铝(PAC)后,在0.40 MPa时气载絮体尺寸最大,主要尺寸分布在0.45~0.95mm之间,二维分形维数最小,结构更为松散轻薄。在此基础上通过投加不同浓度的混凝剂控制溶液的Zeta电位来探究其对平衡接触角的影响,发现不同于传统混凝在等电点处达到最优混凝效果,气浮工艺是在Zeta电位为17 m V时平衡接触角达到最大值,此时的气载絮体中气泡与絮体的结合更为理想,更利于提升气浮工艺的分离效果。
