Summary

Researchers determined operational conditions for a dissolved air flotation (DAF) process for water treatment, testing how key parameters affect removal of suspended inorganic and organic matter. The study optimized DAF settings to improve water quality to levels suitable for human or industrial use, with relevance to treating waters that may contain microplastics.
