Abstract
The collection mechanism of polystyrene latices of 0.6 μm in diameter in electroflotation has been examined both theoretically and experimentally as extension of our previous work (1980). To avoid the change of surface state of particle bubble, the experiment was conducted under the condition that the concentration of CTAB (cetyl trimethylammonium bromide), cationic surfactant in the solution, is within the 90% of its initial concentration. It is of interest that the theory predicts the collection efficiency to vary as d.
