Abstract

The invention relates to a method and apparatus for dispersing gas into liquid or slurry, which uses a rotatable rotor at least partly submerged in the liquid, and blades connected thereto. According to the invention, the gas to be dispersed is conducted, via a gas conduit (1, 22, 32) to the inside (7, 27, 37) of the rotor (6) and further to the surrounding liquid or slurry through at least one discharge aperture (12, 28, 38) formed in the rotor blade (8, 26, 36) and being adjustable in width.
