Influence of diffuser design on selected operating variables for wastewater flotation systems: a review
Air diffusers or spargers have been used in separation processes that include conventional wastewater treatment. Over the years, there have been advancements in diffuser design in terms of shape, pore size, orientation and materials of construction as a way of mitigating challenges such as fouling,...
