127 Method of and means for hydrodynamic mixing US898475 1986-08-20 US4861165A 1989-08-29 Borje Fredriksson; Jeffery L. Cahmberlin
A plurality of fluent substances are combined in a distributor (11, 37) and caused to flow in a continuous, pressurized stream through a mixing zone (13, 13', 57) wherein the substances are intimately mixed by turbulent dispersion effected by a series of conically shaped surfaces (24, 27; 62, 64) and alternate restrictions (25, 63) and expansion chambers (28, 65). While various fluent substances may be advantageously mixed, a typical utility is for effecting a through air binding of ink particles to attain efficient foaming (29) in the deinking of reconstituted printed paper slurry.
128 Method for treatment of waste water and its apparatus US12181 1987-02-09 US4772398A 1988-09-20 Yoshikazu Sando; Hiroshi Ishidoshiro
For the treatment of waste water in the liquid treatment of a textile material, air bubbles are generated in water containing floating impurities stored tentatively in a waste water tank so as to adhere the impurities on the surface of the air bubbles, adhering the impurities together with air bubbles on the surface of a filter comprising a mesh belt or a mesh drum by pulling up the filter successively, and removing the impurities from the filter thus pulled up due to the effect of vacuum suction, and an apparatus therefor. The impurities remaining still on the surface of the filter may further be removed therefrom by washing the filter with the aid of water and air jets.
129 Flotation separating system US683008 1984-12-18 US4617113A 1986-10-14 John A. Christophersen; Fred J. Marquardt; Donald E. Zipperian
Improvements in flotation separating systems of the type employing small rising air bubbles to induce ascension of certain types of particles in a flotation compartment while other particle types descend toward the bottom of the compartment include a bubble passing, particle blocking barrier forming the bottom of the compartment separating the compartment from a source of air bubbles while allowing the introduction of a uniform distribution of air bubbles into the compartment in the form of a gently sloped conical plate having a plurality of aerated water passing apertures and an array of downwardly extending pocket forming baffles for limiting bubble migration along the slope of the lower plate surface. The baffles are generally configured as radially and circumferentially extending baffle portions. Particles are prevented from passing through the plate apertures by introducing additional sealing water flowing toward the barrier from beneath by way of a plurality of inwardly extending water supply pipes opening downwardly at their innermost ends. The flotation separating system is preferably of the water recirculating type and includes a readily removable strainer basket suspended in a water drainage path for collecting contaminants which are inadequately separated by the flotation process.

The through flow within the device is controlled by angulation of the trough which is variable, and baffle configuration.
131 Method of and arrangement for the de-inking of pulp suspensions US194243 1980-04-21 US4331534A 1982-05-25 Wolfgang Barnscheidt
A pulp suspension of waste paper which is laden with air bubbles is introduced into a flotation cell. Fine air bubbles rise through the pulp suspension toward the top. Printing ink and other impurities are deposited on the bubbles which form a foam layer on the surface of the pulp suspension. The foam which is laden with impurities is drawn off from the surface. The fibers which have been subjected to preliminary purification in this manner sink downwardly. For reducing the number of cells connected in series to fewer than a third, while obtaining the same degree of whiteness, the fibers which were subjected to preliminary purification are drawn off and are once again supplied to the flotation cell in the form of an air-laden pulp suspension. Alternatively, instead of the air-laden pulp suspension, a water-air suspension can be injected. The air bubbles which are thus introduced once again rise toward the top and traverse the sinking fibers in a counterflow. As a result, an intensive air-pulp contact is created.
132 Flotation machine with mixing and aeration impeller and method US795004 1977-05-09 US4169047A 1979-09-25 Robert A. Wilson

The flutes are adapted to the hub and have troughs which begin proximate the hub and extend radially away from and angularly downward and upward away from a plane normal to a shaft to which the impeller is adapted. The flutes are preferably formed as one unitary structure and shaped in a periodic pattern which may be generally sinusoidal or trapezoidal in cross section normal to the radius of the impeller along the length of the troughs. The impeller includes means to receive compressed air from a source and means to exhaust the compressed air radially outward from the rim. The hub has means to receive the compressed air and to communicate it to a passage or gap formed in the flutes to transmit the air radially outward to the rim. The air is exhausted through a slot along the rim of the impeller. A shroud with radial fins may be positioned about the impeller. The impeller used is the agitation means in a flotation machine for recovering mineral values. A method of agitation and aeration is also disclosed.
133 Apparatus for and method of automatically cleaning an obstructed valve US632278 1975-11-17 US3991781A 1976-11-16 Roderick M. Willis; Charles L. Oldfather
Waste water containing particulate matter is saturated with air or other gas by a dynamic mixer and ejected into a gravity filter system at a point above the filter media but below the water surface level. Upon entering the filter tank, the dissolved gas is released, forming small bubbles on filterable particles to float these particles to the surface for removal. The system further includes a back pressure valve at the sewage inlet port which, if obstructed, is automatically flushed. During the backwash cycle, the water level above the filter bed may be lowered to the level of a wash-through zone, and filtered water then pumped upward through the filter media, thereby carrying particles from the filter media out through the wash-through zone.
134 Flotation process US48719374 1974-07-10 US3920530A 1975-11-18 XYLANDER KURT
In a process for purifying an aqueous liquid by flotation of suspended solids with gas bubbles produced by electrolysis between at least one pair of electrodes, at least one of said electrodes, preferably in the form of an endless belt or band, is transported in or through said liquid while said electrolysis and flotation are taking place. Bridging and fouling of the electrodes are thereby minimised.

136 Foam flotation separation system particularly suitable for separating dissolved protein compounds and toxic metallic ions from aquarium water US3669883D 1970-08-21 US3669883A 1972-06-13 HUCKSTEDT GUIDO; TUNZE NORBERT
Foam flotation separation of dispersoids such as colloids and high molecular weight compounds in dispersions is carried out by drawing the dispersion into a pump which then passes it, as motive fluid, through a venturi to draw in air and effect an air emulsion-type mixture. Thereafter, the mixture passes into a separation column wherein the very small air bubbles in the emulsion are allowed to pass out of the liquid. During the passage through the liquid, dispersoid molecules are adsorbed, in the prior art manner, by the small bubbles, which results in the formation of a dispersoid-containing foam that is removed from the top of the separation column. A substantially dispersoid-free liquid is withdrawn from the lower section of the column. Particularly, the level of toxic compounds in aquarium water is effectively controlled by removing dissolved proteinaceous compounds from the water in this manner.
137 Froth height and liquid slurry level determination for a floatation cell US3474902D 1968-09-26 US3474902A 1969-10-28 PUTMAN RICHARD E J
1287274 Froth flotation WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC CORP 3 Sept 1969 [26 Sept 1968] 43653/69 Heading B2H [Also in Division G3] The supply of frothing agent to a floatation separator is automatically controlled in dependence on a computation of the thickness of the layer of froth on the liquid from signals corresponding to contact of a moving probe with the upper and lower surfaces of the layer. In Fig. 1, the electrical probe 16 is withdrawn and reinserted periodically by an electric motor 22 and the thickness is determined by a computer 36 which regulates the supply of frothing agent (e.g. pine oil) at 24 to maintain the thickness constant. Computer 36 also controls an outlet valve 33 to maintain the slurry at such a level that only froth, with the separated minerals, overflows a weir at 15. Probe 16 may be cleaned between insertions. In a modification, a number of cells are mounted on an adjustable ramp so that froth cascades from cell to cell. The froth thickness and slurry level are controlled in each of a number of cells sequentially by a computer which also controls the outlet of slurry from the lowest cell to correct the slurry level in it, and the slope of the ramp to maintain a desired relationship between the slury levels in all the cells.
