OPTIMIZATION STUDIES FOR THE FLOTATION OF BUNKER OIL FROM CONTAMINATED SAND USING MICROBUBBLES

This paper studies the optimization of microbubble-aided (Sauter diameter: 80 μm) flotation technology to separate high density bunker oil from oil-wet sand using response surface methodology (RSM). A second order response function was used to model the flotation efficiency under the influence of pH...
