Abstract
Abstract A method of treating effluent sludge, which comprises coagulating sludge with mineral coagulants, thereafter subjecting the sludge to mechanical dehydration. The dehydrated sludge is dried to a moisture content of from 10 to 50 percent with the aid of a gaseous heat carrier having an initial temperature of from 600° to 800° C under backflow and air-gushing conditions. Dried sludge is introduced into the raw sludge at the coagulation stage at a rate so as to provide for a concentration of the resultant sludge mixture of from 50 to 120 g/lit.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
90 words
A method of treating effluent sludge, which comprises treating sludge with mineral coagulants so as to coagulate the sludge; mechanically dehydrating the resulting sludge; drying the dehydrated sludge to a moisture content of from 10 to 50 percent by means of a gaseous heat carrier having an initial temperature of from 600° to 800° C. under counter-jet and air-gushing conditions; introducing at the coagulation stage dried sludge into the starting sludge at a rate so that a concentration of the sludge mixture thus obtained is from 50 to 120 g/lit.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
90 words
A method of treating effluent sludge, which comprises treating sludge with mineral coagulants so as to coagulate the sludge; mechanically dehydrating the resulting sludge; drying the dehydrated sludge to a moisture content of from 10 to 50 percent by means of a gaseous heat carrier having an initial temperature of from 600° to 800° C. under counter-jet and air-gushing conditions; introducing at the coagulation stage dried sludge into the starting sludge at a rate so that a concentration of the sludge mixture thus obtained is from 50 to 120 g/lit.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
A method as set forth in claim 1, wherein said dried sludge introduced into the starting sludge at the coagulation stage has a moisture content of from 10 to 30 percent.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
56 words
A method as set forth in claim 1, wherein the starting sludge is divided into two portions; one portion of the starting sludge is coagulated with the aid of mineral coagulants, and the other portion of the starting sludge is coagulated with the aid of dried sludge obtained in the treatment of a former sludge portion,
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
38 words
A method as set forth in claim 1, wherein the starting sludge is coagulated alternately with the aid of mineral coagulants and dried sludge obtained in the treatment of the starting sludge with the aid of mineral coagulants.
Claim 6
Independent Claim
99 words
A method of effluent sludge treatment, which comprises treating sludge with at least one mineral coagulant selected from the group consisting of ferric chloride, ferric sulfate and calcium oxide; mechanically dehydrating the sludge; drying the dehydrated sludge to a moisture content of from 10 to 50 percent by means of a gaseous heat carrier having an initial temperature of from 600° to 800° C. under counter-jet and air-gushing conditions; introducing at the coagulation stage, dried sludge into the starting sludge at a rate so that the concentration of the sludge mixture thus obtained is from 50 to 120 g/lit.
Claim 7
Independent Claim
99 words
A method of effluent sludge treatment, which comprises treating sludge with at least one mineral coagulant selected from the group consisting of ferric chloride, ferric sulfate and calcium oxide; mechanically dehydrating the sludge; drying the dehydrated sludge to a moisture content of from 10 to 50 percent by means of a gaseous heat carrier having an initial temperature of from 600° to 800° C. under counter-jet and air-gushing conditions; introducing at the coagulation stage, dried sludge into the starting sludge at a rate so that the concentration of the sludge mixture thus obtained is from 50 to 120 g/lit.
