Flotation information


Flotation (also spelled floatation) involves phenomena related to the relative buoyancy of objects.

The term may also refer to:

  • Flotation (archaeology), a method for recovering very small artefacts from excavated sediments
  • Flotation (shares), an initial public offering of stocks or shares in a company
  • Flotation, any material added to the hull of a watercraft to keep the hull afloat
  • Flotation, the ability (as of a tire or snowshoes) to stay on the surface of soft ground or snow
  • "Floatation", a 1990 electronic music song by The Grid
  • Flotation process, in process engineering, a method for the separation of mixtures
    • Dissolved air flotation (DAF), a water treatment process
    • Froth flotation, a process for separating hydrophobic from hydrophilic materials
    • Induced gas flotation, a water treatment process that clarifies wastewaters (or other waters) by the removal of suspended matter such as oil or solids
  • Flotation therapy, a technique whereby users 'float' in an isolation tank
