METHOD FOR RECOVERING INERT OR LIVING MICROPARTICLES AND USE AND INSTALLATION OF SAME

摘要

A method for recovering inert or living microparticles in which a rising liquid column is set up under negative pressure of an aqueous effluent that includes inert or living microparticles, and a foam is separated at the top of the column into a multiphase effluent enriched with inert or living microparticles relative to the aqueous effluent and into a mostly liquid effluent depleted of inert or living microparticles relative to the aqueous effluent. The invention also concerns the different applications of this method and an installation implementing this method.
