Abstract
Dissolved air flotation (DAF) has been well known for the gravity separation process. The solids to be separated are transferred from the water body to the water surface using micro-air bubbles. DAF has also been used for enhancing solids-liquid separation of industrial and municipal wastewater by adding a its unit parallel to a sedimentation unit to reduce the hydraulic loading in the sedimentation clarifier. This study was to investigate flotation characteristics of activated sludge by the recent DAF technique without chemical agents. In addition, the effect on temperature in flotation of activated sludge and the thickening degree of activated sludge were studied.
