摘要
New explicit analytical expressions are obtained for both the collision frequency and the bubble/particle detachment frequency which enter flotation separation models. The expression for the collision frequency takes into account both the particle settling velocity and the bubble rise velocity while that for the detachment frequency is motivated by analogous results for floc disruption in a turbulent flow field. In all the cases considered, it is shown that the inclusion of the particle settling velocity increases the collision frequency by a factor of approximately 1.5 and that the most significant factor affecting the collision frequency is the bubble radius. 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.
