AB  - The performance of electroflotation (EF) is strongly influenced by the size of 
      O(2) and H(2) bubbles. Therefore, in this study, the bubble sizes are measured in 
      a lab-scale EF cell using a high-speed camera. The mean bubble size is found to 
      vary in the range of 32.7-68.6 mum under different operating conditions. This 
      study shows that the electrode material, current density, water pH, ionic 
      strength, and frother (Tennafroth 250) concentration are important factors in 
      controlling the bubble size. Furthermore, four mathematical distributions 
      (normal, log-normal, Weibull, and gamma distributions) are fitted to the 
      experimental data, among which the log-normal distribution is found to be the 
      best fit based on the lower Anderson-Darling (AD) value.
