The method for removing interfering substances from suspensions by flotation involves decompression of a gas-saturated liquid separately, before it is introduced into the suspension containing interfering substances. Also claimed is an apparatus for implementation of the method. It comprises a separate decompression unit (4), a unit (2) for enriching a liquid with a gas, and a flotation cell (6).

The method for enriching a liquid with a gas, in particular, for purposes of separating interfering substances from suspensions by flotation involves jetting of the liquid into a gas volume. As a result, a part of the gas volume is sucked into the jet and is thoroughly mixed with the liquid during its further transport. Also claimed is an apparatus for implementation of the method. It comprises a ...
