Abstract

The saturator and injection nozzle are important facilities on the dissolved air flotation process. To increase the formation of micro bubble, it is required to improve the air dissolving performance in the saturator and keep the pressure uniform from the saturator to the nozzle. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of the saturator and the hydraulic effect of the nozzle and the pipe structure. The air volume concentration, bubble size and bubble residual time were measured in the test. The saturator, which had mounted with the spray nozzle, showed a good performance for bubble formation. Also, the characteristics of micro bubble formation were influenced by pressure uniformity and flow velocity through the orifice in the nozzle.

DAF (Dissolved air flotation) 공정에서 공기포화장치(Saturator)와 미세기포 발생노즐은 미세기포 형성에 중요한 영향을 미치는 장치이다. 미세기포 발생 효율을 증가시키기 위해서는 공기포화장치 용기 안에서 기-액 접촉 효율을 증가시키고, 미세기포 발생노즐까지 이송 배관 내 압력을 일정하게 유지해 주어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 공기포화장치 내 순환수 유입 분사노즐과 포화수 이송 배관, 미세기포 발생노즐에 의한 미세기포 발생에 미치는 영향을 공기체적법과 기포 크기, 기포의 잔류시간 측정을 통해 비교해 보았다. 순환수 유입 분사노즐을 설치하고, 포화수의 이송 배관 내 압력손실이 발생하지 않는 구조, 미세기포 발생노즐의 통과유속을 증가시킬 경우 미세기포 발생 성능이 증가하였다.
