Abstract TO BE REMOVED THEREFROM, SAID MATTER BEING SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSTISTING OF FLOC, FIBERS, PARTIALLY OR TOTALLY FORMED FLOC, AND PARTICALLY OR TOTALLY FLOCCULATED FIBERS, SAID METHOD COMPRISING THE STEPS OF: 1. INTRODUCING INTO SAID LIQUID A FLOW OF GAS BUBBLES HAVING CONTAINED WITHIN THE INDIVIDUAL BUBBLES AT LEAST ONE POWDERED CHEMICAL PARTICLE HAVING AN ELECTRICAL CHARGE OF THE OPPOSITE POLARITY AS THE MATTER TO BE REMOVED FROM THE LIQUID TO BE CLARIFIED, SAID POWDERED CHEMICAL ALSO BEING A FLOCCULATING AGENT FOR THE MATTER TO BE REMOVED IN THE EVENT SAID MATTER TO BE REMOVE IS NOT OTHERWISE FLOCCULATED; 2. PROVIDING MEANS TO INSURE UNIFORM MIXING OF SAID GAS BUBBLES THROUGHOUT SAID LIQUID TO BE CLARFIED; AND 3. SUBSEQUENTLY REMOVING FROM THE SURFACE OF SAID LIQUID THE CONGLOMERATE FORMED BY ADHERENCE OF SAID NOW FLOCCULATED MATTER TO BE REMOVED FROM SAID LIQUID WITH THE POWDERED CHEMICALS INTRODUCED INTO SAID LIQUID IN SAID GAS BUBBLES, THUS LEAVING A CLARIFIED LIQUID BEHIND.
