In air flotation ... fine particles that are heavier than water are lifted to the surface of tanks and held there with the help of air and flotation reagents not unlike coagulation reagents in sedimentation ... Air is introduced into flotation tanks either by diffusion or mechanical dispersal of air as such, or by release of air bubbles from the fluid itself. 1, record 1, English, - air%20flotation

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 1, French, - a%C3%A9roflottation
