Abstract

Flotation by means of microgas dispersions was used to remove copper, chromium, nickel, lead, and zinc from aqueous solutions, including an industrial plating effluent. Metal removals of up to 100% were obtained from solutions of the metals ranging in concentration from 2 to 20 ppm. © 1982 by Marcel Dekker, Inc. All rights reserved.
