Algae removal using dissolved air flotation.

Abstract

1. The small size of the individual cells, which vary from 3 to 15 ?i; 2. The low specific gravity of the in dividual cell, which is further reduced by the attachment of minute bubbles of in ternally produced oxygen; and 3. The relatively dilute suspensions in which algae occur. Research into the separation of algae has been surprisingly limited, with only a few individuals being involved. However, they have investigated a large variety of methods with varying degrees of success.
