Abstract

Recently, water treatment methods utilizing microbubbles such as DAF and EF are gaining interest and being studied. Current study is focused on the fundamental research of electroflotation by examining the characteristics of microbubbles and particles. The objects of this research consist of two things; (1) theoretical modeling of microbubble-particle collision, (2) the experimental investigation of removal efficiency of turbidity in electroflotation. From investigation, the mechanism of electroflotation can be explained not only by the characteristics of microbubbles and particles but also the chemistry of aluminum dissolved from aluminum electrode during the electroflotation experiment.
