This method comprises a large number of falls and the maximum possible water trickle surface area. The rate of aeration obtained depends on the number of volumes of pure water per hour flowing over a predetermined volume of contact materials (coke, volcanic lava, Raschig rings, etc.), the nature and shape of the developed surface of these materials, and the rate of air circulation. 1, record 2, English, - contact%20material
