    摘要: A method is disclosed for treating aqueous feed by dissolved gas flotation. The aqueous feed originates from industrial processing of fibrous material, where the aqueous feed includes an aqueous phase and solid particulate material suspended in the aqueous phase. The method includes bringing a flocculant in contact with the aqueous feed, flocculating suspended solid particulate material into flocs and contacting formed flocs with gas bubbles and inducing their flotation in a flotation basin. The flocculant includes a polymer composition having a charge density of at the most 1.7 meq/g dry and the polymer composition includes a cationic synthetic first polymer having a charge density at least 1.0 meq/g dry at pH 2.8, and at least one second polymer obtained by polymerization of (meth)acrylamide, the second polymer being polymerized in presence of the cationic first polymer, where the first polymer has a higher charge density than the second polymer.
