Abstract:

The paper presents the results of an experimental pilot study on advanced flocculation of metal hydroxides that are precipitated from electroplating wastewater during pH-adjustment. A pipe-flocculator with a turbulent flow, to ensure proper mixing conditions, was used instead of a classical flocculation tank. The results of the study indicated a high efficiency of the process. The flocculation proceeded within 50-100 seconds, which was much less than is required during classical flocculation. Application of a pipe-flocculator results also in reduction of both capital and operating costs of the

Abstract:

Abstract River water-sea water mixing experiments were carried out to study the time dependence of flocculation process, the flocculation behaviour of dissolved Cu, Pb, Zn, Ni, Co, Mn, Cr and Fe in the Kali estuary. Flocculation appears to be maximum at high salinities (&gt;25‰) and is rapid, about 7 to 60% of the dissolved metal content flocculating within half an hour of mixing. This brings out the role of sea water as a powerful flocculating agent for the dissolved load of river water.

Abstract:

The continuous flocculator described in this article refers to a kind of continuous flocculation device designed to flocculate fermentation liquid. The honeycomb continuous flocculator is composed of a vessel and built-in trapezoid subassemblies, which divide the space within the vessel into multiple honeycomb channels. The length ratio between the longest diagonal of the regular hexagon and the axial length of the channel is within the range 0.01–0.04; and the internal surface roughness (Ra) of the channels should be 0 < Ra ≤ 0.2 μm. In contrast to current flocculator designs, the channels

Electrolysis-assisted flocculation methods were used in decoloration of azophloxine. Electrolysis-assisted flocculation of azophloxine was conducted under the applied potential using titanium anode. The concentration of KNO3, flocculating time and applied potential were investigated. The application of applied potential has nearly no power to remove the dye from wastewater since the highest decoloration rate is only 2.5% after treatment at KNO3 concentration of 0.6 mol/L. The total flocculating decoloration efficiency decreases gradually after increasing the KNO3 concentration in the solution.

Abstract:

The performance of chitosan in flocculating kaolin suspensions was investigated. A real-time suspended solid (SS) concentration measuring method was applied. The influence of pH was examined from 2.0 to 13.0. The optimal pH value for low-grade (100 mg/L), middle-grade (500 mg/L), and high-grade (1000 mg/L) kaolin suspension samples was 8.0. The optimal dosage of chitosan for the three grades of kaolin suspensions was 5.0 mg/L, regardless of the initial SS concentration. An orthogonal array test was performed to determine the optimal hydraulic conditions. Range analysis and variance analysis sh

Abstract:

Turbidity reduction is essential for improving surface water quality. Eroded fine sediments not only increase surface water turbidity, they also carry pollutants such as heavy metals and pathogens. The objectives of this study were to investigate the mechanisms of adsorption and desorption of polyacrylamide (PAM) by pure kaolinite and montmorillonite, and to test the ability of PAM to flocculate the two pure clays as well as four subsoils having distinct clay mineralogy. PAMs with different charge type, density, and molecular weights were used, and a standard flocculation series test and an is

Abstract:

The flocculation performance of bioflocculant produced by Aspergillus flavus S44-1 grown on chicken viscera hydrolysate was investigated. The investigations were carried out using jar testing and kaolin clay suspension as model wastewater. The bioflocculant yielded a minimum of 83.1% efficiency in flocculating 2-12 g L-1 kaolin clay suspension over a wide temperature range (4-80 °C) and functioned maximally at neutral pH. The bioflocculant significantly flocculated different suspended particles such as activated carbon (92%), soil solid (94.8%), and algae (69.4%) at varying concentrations. Bri

Abstract:

The flocculating process of sewage treatment is a complicated and nonlinear system, and it is very difficult to found the process model to describe it. The radial basis probabilistic neural network (RBPNN) has the ability of strong function approach and fast convergence. In this paper, an intelligent optimized control system based on radial basis probabilistic neural network is presented. We constructed the structure of radial basis probabilistic neural network that used for controlling the flocculation process, and adopt the K-Nearest Neighbor algorithm and least square method to train the ne

Abstract:

The influence of the pseudoamphoteric zwitterionic surfactant cocamidopropylbetaine (CAPB) on the stabilizing flocculating properties of the aqueous suspensions of glauconite (GT) with cationic guar gum (CGG) at various pH values was investigated. The following techniques were used: turbidimetry, UV-VIS spectrophotometry, tensiometry, electrophoretic mobility measurements, SEM, CHN, XRD, and FT-IR. It was established that CGG is an effective glauconite flocculant. Moreover, the most probable mechanism that is responsible for flocculation is bridge flocculation resulting from polymer adsorption

The composition of dissolved and colloidal substances in a system and the removal of these substances by flocculation with nano-size TiO2 colloids were determined by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC-MS).

The mathematical model for filtration takes into account the expansion of the filter bed. The removal efficiency of DFF and headloss development were successfully simulated for diffe
