<p>The invention is an apparatus for purifying polluted liquids, especially water. The apparatus comprises a vessel with a relatively large length to width ratio including a reaction zone for contacting the liquid with a gas, separated from the rest of the vessel by a downflow-upflow wall, having a liquid inlet means for introducing a liquid into the reaction zone, the flotation zone connected with the reaction zone occupying the rest of the vessel and a skimmer disposed at the end of the flotation zone for skimming off the floating materials to a channel arranged transverse to the longitudinal axis of the vessel and means for removing the purifying liquid from the apparatus.</p> |
