Wastewater Treatment of Food Industry Enterprises from Surfactants and Fats by Means of Flotation

Abstract

There were considered issues, related to wastewater treatment of food industry enterprises from surfactants and fats. The emphasis was on flotation technique utilization for wastewater treatment from hydrophobic pollutants, and in the first place, fats and surfactants. There was established that efficiency of wastewater’s  flotation treatment from fats and surfactants is substantially dependent on flotation technique’s method. There was demonstrated that fats are efficiently extracted by means of mechanical flotation machine and surfactants – with the use of column flotation device.
