摘要
The effect of impeller speed (power consumption) on bubble size in a self-aerated Denver laboratory flotation cell was measured. The bubble size increases with increasing impeller speed. The explanation is that the accompanying increase in gas rate causes an increase in bubble size that more than offsets any effect of increasing shear. (c) 2005 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
