Abstract
Microbubble-based methods, in recent times, have been widely used for purification of water and
wastewater. Microbubbles have several physicochemical properties, which make them eminently
suitable for wastewater treatment. Size of bubble which has an inverse relation with pressure is
one of the important parameter in the separation process of fine particles/solids. There are
various DAF systems with different bubbling mechanisms and bubble types. In this study, the
pilot high rate DAF system of laboratory scale is developed and tested. The system was
evaluated by comparing its efficiency for both microbubble and conventional bubbles
generation. The size of bubble generated was analyzed by image analysis software following the
photographic bubble size measurement techniques. The mean diameter of bubble generated was
found to be 32 µm. The generated bubble was tested for suspended solid removal of pulp
wastewater, deinking and aeration system and the result of the conventional and microbubble
generation system was checked. The efficiency of microbubble generated was greater by 20% in
suspended solid removal and 60% kla increase in aeration system than conventional bubbles.
