A rotor for the distribution of air in the form of finely divided bubbles in the slurry in a flotation tank comprises a boss with an inner hollow air passageway, spaced-apart wings extending radially outwardly from the outer surface of the boss, and multiple air conduits communicating between the inner hollow air passageway and the surface of the boss between each adjacent pair of wings. The air conduits have outer mouths located immediately behind a wing (behind in the sense of rotational direction of the rotor) and linearly extend to the inner hollow air passageway such that lines through their central axes will intercept with imaginary radial lines passing through the centers of the wings behind which the outer mouths of the respective air conduits are located.

A rotatable rotor device for the introduction and dispersion of a gas in a liquid medium which comprises an elongated boss portion having a top surface, a bottom surface and an outer side surface, as well as an axial hollow area therein for the introduction of air under pressure, a number of spaced apart, radially-projecting wings connected to the outer side surface of said boss and extending between the top surface and bottom surfaces of said boss, each of said wings, when viewed in horizontal cross section, having a rectangular cross section, and a separate air conduit extending between said hollow area in said boss and the outer side surface of said boss between each pair of wings, the exit mouth of each air conduit communicating with the outer surface of the boss immediately adjacent an associated wing, each exit mouth of each air conduit being positioned on a corresponding side of an associated wing, and each air conduit extending towards said hollow area and communicating therewith via an inner mouth such that a center line through each air conduit will intercept an imaginary radial line extending centrally through the associated wing adjacent to which the exit mouth of the air conduit is located.
