Abstract
Collectorless flotation has been investigated at a laboratory scale, a s a separation technique applied effectively to biomass fine particles (dead free) of Penicillium and Rhizopus; these were previously used f or cadmium (a priority toxic pollutant) biosorption from dilute aqueou s solutions. The basic parameters of dispersed-air flotation were stud ied, i.e. solution pH, flotation time, ethanol addition (used as a con venient frother), Cd and biomass concentration.
