Process for agglomerating and coagulating waste material
Abstract
Abstract A PROCESS FOR AGGLOMERATION, COAGULATION AND EXTRACTION OF SUSPENDED SOLIDS AND ORGANIC WASTE MATERIALS SUCH AS FOUND IN THE WASTE EFFLUENT STREAMS OF PACKING AND RENDERING PLANTS, PAPER AND PULP MILLS, FOOD PROCESSING PLANTS, AND SIMILAR FACILITIES. IN ONE EMBODIMENT OF THE INVENTION, THE PROCESS COMPRISES INTRODUCING A REAGENT SOLUTION INTO THE WASTE STREAM IN SUCH A MANNER THAT THE REAGENT IS RELEASED WITHIN THE WASTE STREAM IN THE FORM OF A MICROSCOPICALLY DISPERSED GASEOUS PHASE WHICH IS SELECTIVELY ADSORBED ON THE SURFACES OF THE SUSPENDED SOLIDS AND ORGANIC WASTE MATERIALS TO SELECTIVELY REACT WITH THE SURFACES OF THE SOLIDS AND MATERIALS AND PRODUCE SURFACE CHARACTERISTICS WHICH INDUCE AGGLOMERATION AND COAGULATION OF THE SOLIDS AND MATERIALS. A SECOND EMBODIMENT COMPRISES ELECTRLYTICALLY GENERATING THE MICROSCOPICALLY DISPERSED GASEOUS PHASE REAGENT WITHIN THE WASTE STREAMS.
