Effect of Particle Aggregation on Elementary Microflotation Act and Dynamic Adsorption Layer 

Since in the present section the inertia-ffee transport of particles is considered, we can restrict ourselves to aggregates of a sufficiently small size, approximately tens of microns. At small degrees of packing in an aggregate, its sedimentation rate can be so small that their transport from below to the rear stagnant cap is possible against gravity. 

Intensification of aggregate transport to the surface of rising bubbles is currently of great practical interest since the development of flotation technology of small particles involves flocculation (Babenkov 1977, Veister Mints 1980, Dobias, 1993) and the transport of flocks is more efficient. 

Since Brownian coagulation proceeds very slowly for particles of the order of a micron and larger, the main role in this process is played by the orthokinetic or gradient coagulation caused
