2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a pressure levitation method has been used to levitate fine particles in water by air bubbles. In this method, a gas is dissolved in water under pressure and the pressure is reduced under atmospheric pressure to precipitate the dissolved gas, and the precipitated bubbles are used to float particles in water. The bubbles have a size of several microns to ten and several microns, and have the property that they are well deposited around suspended matter in the liquid. Further, as a method of diffusing bubbles in water, there is also a method of injecting bubbles into water using a diffuser plate. In this case, the bubbles formed have a size of 100 microns or more.

In the case of the above-mentioned prior art pressure floating method, since the bubbles formed by precipitation are small, the buoyancy is small and it takes a considerable time to float the suspended particles in the water. There was a problem of poor efficiency.
Also, since the solubility of gas in water is proportional to the pressure of gas, in order to dissolve a large amount of gas and generate many bubbles in water, it is necessary to pressurize the gas to a considerably high pressure to dissolve it. It has the drawback of becoming large and expensive. Also, when forming bubbles with the diffuser plate, the bubbles are only 100 microns or more and only large bubbles are obtained, and even if fine floating particles are caught and floated, the bubbles are immediately separated from the particles, There was a problem that suspended particles lost their buoyancy and returned to water again.

The operation of the floating particle floating separation method and apparatus of this embodiment will be described below. First, the lake water 36 is pumped through the suction pipe 34 to make a gas-liquid mixture.
2, the gas-liquid dissolution mixer 10 is pressure-fed. The liquid flowing into the gas-liquid dissolution mixer 10 is accelerated in the throat portion 12 of the Venturi tube 14, the static pressure is once reduced, and the flow velocity is slowed through the widening portion 16 and the static pressure is increased again. At this time, the gas inlet port 18 is slightly downstream of the throat portion 12, and the static pressure in this portion is relatively negative, so that gas flows into the flow path. Although the gas inlet 18 is not arranged in the throat portion 12 in the portion where the static pressure is the lowest in the throat portion 12, when the gas inlet port 18 is provided in the throat portion 12,
This is because the gas is not well sucked in and the gas is more likely to flow into the portion where the flow path has started to spread.

The gas flowing from the gas inflow port 18 flows into the pipe line 22 together with the liquid in the flow path as bubbles, and the gas formed into bubbles is a liquid because the static pressure of the pipe line 22 is higher than that of the throat portion 12. Dissolves in. Then, the liquid is ejected from the conduit 22 through the nozzle port 24 together with the bubbles. Since the liquid is accelerated again when passing through the nozzle port 24, its static pressure becomes low, and the gas dissolved in the liquid is deposited as fine bubbles of several microns to several tens of microns. Furthermore, the bubbles that are not completely dissolved are subdivided due to turbulence of the flow when being accelerated by the nozzle 24, and become bubbles with a small diameter of several tens to several hundreds of microns and are ejected together with the liquid. Therefore, the bubbles ejected from the gas-liquid dissolution mixer 10 are dispersed in the lake water 36 as fine bubbles having a wide range of diameters from several microns to several hundreds of microns.

The bubbles released into the lake water 36 adhere to the suspended particles 38, as shown in FIG. The bubbles adhering to the suspended particles 38 have various sizes, and as shown, various bubbles from the relatively large bubbles 40 to the small bubbles 42 adhere to the suspended particles 38. Bubble 40,
The floating particles 38 to which 42 is attached are quickly floated by the buoyancy of the large bubbles 40 and rise to the vicinity of the water surface. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, the large bubbles 40 separate from the suspended particles 38 and disappear into the atmosphere when they reach the water surface 44. However, since the small bubbles 42 continue to adhere to the suspended particles 38, they float around immediately below the water surface for a long time.

Using the method and apparatus for floating particles floating in this example, an experiment for floating algal blooms was carried out and observed with a video microscope.
