Flottation avec insufflation d'air. Il s'agit là en réalité d'une flottation naturelle améliorée par l'insufflation au sein de la masse liquide de bulles d'air de quelques millimètres de diamètre. On utilise pour cela des corps poreux ou, à la rigueur, dans le cas de liquides très chargés, des diffuseurs à moyennes bulles disposés de façon à provoquer des turbulences locales favorables à la division des bulles d'air. 2, record 3, French, - a%C3%A9roflottation

Un autre système employé avec succès s'appelle air flotation, et l'appareil pour sa mise en pratique, air classifier. C'est le lavage dans l'air ou séparation à l'air. On utilise, dans cette méthode, les propriétés densitaires des particules pour les classer par chute libre en air soufflé.
