Abstract
Foam separation was investigated as a possible method for removal of powdered activated carbon from aqueous suspension. Results obtained from the operation of a single stage, continuous flow system indicate that powdered carbon can be removed entirely from water using surfactant dosages as low as 30mg/1 with a hydraulic loading rate of about 1 gal/min/ft2. Approximately 1% of the influent flow was lost as foam.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
