A bench scale study was carried out in order to evaluate the applicability of dissolved air flotation (DAF) as an advanced treatment for effluents from three different domestic wastewater treatment processes, namely: (i) a tertiary activated sludge plant ; (ii) an upflow sludge blanket anaerobic reactor (UASB); and (iii) a high-rate stabilization pond.

The current issues of climate change and high freshwater demand worldwide have promoted the implementation of wastewater reclamation technologies. This study aims to review the efficiency of the dissolved air flotation (DAF) technique in a wide variety of applications in the agricultural, industrial, domestic, and municipal sectors, which have high freshwater consumption worldwide. We made a systematic review of the DAF technique in wastewater treatment in 2015-2021. We reviewed six indexed databases and governmental statistical reports; we used the keywords: dissolved air flotation, microbubbles, wastewater treatment, and the main operating and design parameters involved in the effectiveness of the flotation process. Additionally, we conducted a review of the most common synthetic coagulant studies used with DAF, as well as natural coagulants that promise to mitigate current climate change. Finally, we discussed advantages, disadvantages, and potential future studies. DAF to have considerable potential for wastewater treatment, as well as for waste utilization. The generation of large quantities of DAF sludge is a breakthrough for clean energy production, as it allows the use of this waste for biogas production.

The use of recycled water in the apatite flotation may result in losses to the process performance due to the presence of ions, residual reagents, finely particulate material, etc. The dissolved air flotation (DAF) has been shown an efficient technique in the wastewater treatment in the removal of these pollutants. The use of anionic collector in DAF process is based on the reaction that occurs between the soybean oil soap (apatite collector) with the calcium present in the apatite lattice making its surface hydrophobic. Therefore, the collector can be an auxiliary in the water softening besides improving the hydrophobicity of the particles to be collected. Thus, this study was aimed at evaluating the effect of an anionic collector used as an auxiliary in the dissolved air flotation process. A central composite design (CCD) was proposed to evaluate the concentration of collector and the effect of pH value on the removal efficiency of calcium, magnesium, fluoride, phosphorous and turbidity present in a wastewater from a fertilizer industry. The results showed a good removal of the contaminants which guaranteed a better quality of water to the process of phosphate rock concentration.

Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) is often used as a separation step in drinking water treatment. An increasing use of high rate processes has become a trend in chemical treatment. When increasing the loading rate for a flotation process, an increasing head loss built up occurs in the following filter process due to dispersed air carry over. This paper describes the development of an air removal system by using a lamella plate separation system for the dispersed air. Pilot plant experiments showed that the surface load for the combination Lamella Dissolved Air Flotation, the LDAF-unit can be considerably increased in comparison with a conventional DAF-unit.

Dissolved air flotation (DAF) incorporating filtration (DAFF) is used at the Bolivar wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) to polish lagoon effluent for reuse. Elevated algal populations are frequently experienced and can lead to increased coagulant requirements and process control issues. Streaming current detectors (SCDs) and a charge demand analyser (CDA) were used to monitor the full-scale plant. This was followed by an optimisation study using a pilot plant with a CDA. It was found that the normal operational charge demand range for DAF at Bolivar was between −46 and −40 μeq L−1. Decreasing the pH of coagulation reduced coagulant consumption and facilitated more sensitive CDA responses to changes in alum dose.

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation about the performance of a horizontal flow high-rate pilot scale Dissolved Air Flotation (HRDAF) unit containing inclined parallel plates for treating a coloured and low turbidity raw water. Experiments were performed with the DAF unit in order to verify the influence on flotation of : (i) the water velocity (Vh) between the plates, in the range 18 to 96.5 cm.min−1 with corresponding Reynolds numbers between 240 and 1060; (ii) the supplied air (S*) value ranging from 2.2 to 8.5 g of air/m3 of water ; (iii) the angle of the plates (60° or 70°). The best pilot plant operational condition was obtained applying only 4.0 g/m3 (S*) with Vh around 18 cm.min−1 for treatment of water coagulated with a Al2(SO4)3 dosage of 40 mg.l−1. In these conditions, the unit presented very good removal efficiencies of colour (90%, residual of 10 uC), turbidity (88%, residual of 0.8 NTU ) and TSS (94%, residual of 1.8 mg.l−1). Furthermore, the unit could operate at higher Vh values up to 76 cm.min−1 and still present good results. The DAF unit thus behaved as a high rate unit presenting good performance with low air requirement.
