The separation of emulsified kerosene in water (concentration 250-750ppm) was investigated in a bubble column15.6 cm diameter and 120 cm height. The effective behaviors of bubble characteristics (bubble diameter, bubble rise velocity and air hold-up) on the removal efficiency were measured by electroresistivity probe. The effects of kerosene concentration, air flow rate,bubble diameter, liquid height, liquid viscosity, NaCl concentration, and alum on the removal rate were found. The experimental results showed that the removal efficiency increased with increasing air flow rate (1.09-2.6cm/s) and decreased with increasing CMC concentration. The results also showed that adding anionic surfactants (SLES and SDBS) leads to increase removal rate. The the flotation process was found to be first order kinetics. New correlations of air holdup and bubble diameter using dimensionless groups were derived.
