Abstract

It is known that the size of the bubbles plays a decisive role in the flotation of particles. The paper presents the calculation of the optimal sizes of floating bubbles depending on the size of the particles of pollution. The latter allows you to adjust (select) the dispersion of bubbles, which increases the efficiency of the equipment: an increase in hydraulic loads, a decrease in capital and metal consumption.
