摘要 |
A cap-like gas diffuser that produces uniformly sized small bubbles, evenly distributed over the surface of the diffuser is produced by controlling the uniformity of compaction of the particulate material used to form the diffuser during its process of fabrication. Fabrication of the diffuser to provide specified ratios of plenum height to top wall thickness favorably influences attainment of compaction uniformity, as well as reduces diffuser surfaces that contribute to the formation of non-uniform bubbles. Diffusers of the invention made from particulate ceramics are especially useful in treating sewage using the activated sludge process.
