Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 CONT
A particle which had its surface fully covered by collector would find it difficult... to cling to an air-water interface completely packed with frother molecules. The incompleteness of adsorption of the contacting phases is an important factor in attachment. Mineralizing contact may result from collision between bubble and particle, from precipitation of gas from water or through a mixed process in which precipitation initiates contact. Tests... showed that attachment on collision with a coursing bubble increases with the density of the particle concerned, which by its greater mass is better able to break through the slipstream or energy barrier surrounding the bubble. Other research supports this by showing how a minute bubble, such as might result from precipitation, initiates bubble attachment or the build-up of a buoyant system.... The available gas also influences the kinetics of attachment. 6, record 3, English, - adhesion

Chaudières à gaz. L'expression "chauffage central au gaz" fait parfois naître une confusion. Il est bien entendu que le fluide chauffant est toujours l'eau, ou la vapeur, ou l'air chaud. La seule différence avec le chauffage central au charbon est que la chaudière est alimentée au gaz, un brûleur remplaçant la grille. Ce brûleur est généralement à flamme blanche. Quand le gaz a un pouvoir calorifique élevé on utilise un brûleur à flamme bleue (...) A l'intérieur de la chaudière est disposé, au-dessus du brûleur, un faisceau de tubes où circule l'eau à chauffer. 4, record 12, French, - chaudi%C3%A8re%20%C3%A0%20gaz
