Molecular hydrogen (H2), as the green energy carrier from water electrolysis, can be utilized for separation of suspended micro-particles as electroflotation (EF). This study provides practical guidelines for the gas to solids (G/S) ratio as the governing parameter in EF, based on theoretical estimations and experiments for clarification of activated sludge. The G/S ratio in EF was controlled linearly by current density (j), under quasi-consistent current efficiency (at j &gt; 8 mA/cm2) for H2 (~1) and O2 (~0.4) bubble generations on Ti cathode and IrTaOx anode, respectively. Based on the measured sizes of bubbles (approximated to 35 µm) and biological flocs (discretized to mean sizes of 22.5, 40, 60, 135, and 150 µm), batch flotation experiments estimated the maximum collision-attachment efficiency of 0.057. The rise velocities of floc-bubble aggregate were computed to derive the limiting G/S ratio to overcome the given influent hydraulic loading. Consequently, the estimates (5.23 × 10−4 and 5.92 × 10−4 at hydraulic loading of 0.87 and 1.73 cm/min, respectively) were compatible with the continuous EF experiments.
