The wastewater treatment equipment includes: a microfiltration unit, configured to receive and filter a wastewater to obtain a solution; a membrane salt separation unit, configured to receive the solution and separate monovalent ions and multivalent ions from the solution to obtain a first solution including the monovalent ions and a second solution including the multivalent ions; a first evaporative crystallization unit, configured to crystallize the first solution to form a monovalent salt; and a second evaporative crystallization unit, configured to crystallize the second solution to form a mixed salt; the microfiltration unit is connected to the membrane salt separation unit, and the first evaporative crystallization unit and the second evaporative crystallization unit are both directly connected to the membrane salt separation unit, the wastewater treatment equipment can achieve the standard discharge of wastewater.

In a process for treating wastewater from a combined gasification and Fischer-Tropsch (F-T) process, feedstock derived from Municipal Solid Waste or the like is gasified in a reactor (R) and treated in a cleanup unit (C) which generates a first wastewater stream (1st WWT STREAM) containing salts and inorganic pollutants. The first wastewater stream is treated in a treatment unit (T1) to remove inorganic pollutants derived from the syngas The treatment comprises a) degassing, and subsequently b) neutralising the first wastewater stream before treatment in a Dissolved Air Flotation unit (72c) and filtering in a moving sand bed or similar (72d) to remove solids, and a stripping process to remove ammonia. A second wastewater stream (2.sup.nd WWT Stream) containing organic pollutants but being low in salts arises from the F-T process and is treated separately to allow recycling within the F-T process.

A method for removing soluble and/or colloidal Si-compounds from an aqueous stream of a minerals processing plant is provided. The method includes adding coagulant(s) and/or flocculant(s) and/or flotation chemical(s) to the aqueous stream in order to facilitate formation of flocs comprising at least some of the Si-compounds, and in order to form a treated aqueous stream, subjecting the treated aqueous stream to cleaning flotation in order to separate at least some of the Si-compounds as a cleaning flotation overflow, and removing the cleaning flotation overflow. The cleaning flotation comprises gas bubbles, at least 90% of the gas bubbles having a diameter of from 0.2 to 250 μm.

The present invention provides a system for high throughput purification of liquid.

A method for treatment of mixed electroplating wastewater without a cyanide and a phosphorus-containing reductant without a cyanide and a phosphorus-containing reductant. A ferrous chloride solution is added into electroplating wastewater without a cyanide and a phosphorus-containing reductant. The pH of wastewater is adjusted to 10.5-12. Pollutants such as sodium cyanide and hydroxyl-containing organic amine complexants are oxidized with sodium hypochlorite. Carboxyl-containing organic acid complexants are precipitated. Hexavalent chromium is reduced to trivalent chromium to form chromium hydroxide precipitate. Precipitate is removed by filtering and wastewater is adjusted to pH 4.5-5.5. Heavy metal ions are precipitated with sodium dimethyldithiocarbamate or sodium diethyldithiocarbamate. Precipitate and heavy metal capturing agents are adsorbed with activated carbon followed by removal of precipitate. Wastewater is adjusted to pH 6-8. Aliphatic polyamine complexants are destroyed using an available biological degradation technique to reduce chemical oxygen demand.

Disclosed herein are graphene quantum dot tagged water source treatment compounds or polymers, and methods of making and using. Also described herein are tagged compositions including an industrial water source treatment compound or polymer combined with a graphene quantum dot tagged water source treatment compound or polymer. The tagged materials are tailored to fluoresce at wavelengths with minimized correspondence to the natural or “background” fluorescence of irradiated materials in industrial water sources, enabling quantification of the concentration of the water source treatment compound or polymer in situ by irradiation and fluorescence measurement of the water source containing the tagged water source treatment compound or polymer. The fluorescence measurement methods are similarly useful to quantify mixtures of tagged and untagged water source treatment compounds or polymers present in an industrial water source.

Compositions for water treatment are provided. In some embodiments, the composition comprises: a cationic polyacrylamide-type polymer having a charge density of about 10% to about 40% and a molecular weight of about 600×10.sup.4 g/gmol to about 900×10.sup.4 g/gmol; and a cationic surfactant, the surfactant comprising an alkyl quaternary ammonium salt. Also provided are related methods and kits for treating wastewater with dispersed and dissolved organic matters and oils. Embodiments of the compositions, methods, and kits can be used to treat oil-in-water emulsions, produced water, and process water containing dispersed and/or dissolved organic matter such as hydrocarbons from various process industries including Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) oil operations.

Disclosed herein is a flocculation basin inclusion ion type water treatment apparatus using dissolved air floatation which includes: a flocculation basin which forms flocs by mixing a coagulant inserted into feed water and grows up the flocs; a contact zone to which fine bubbles are induced through a nozzle disposed at a lower part; and a separation zone which removes the flocs when the fine bubbles are attached to the flocs and the flocs float on the surface of water, the flocculation basin inclusion type water treatment apparatus including: a fine bubble forming part configured to separate a portion of the feed water at an upstream side of the flocculation basin by piping, configured to form saturated water using the separated portion of the feed water and configured to supply the saturated water to the nozzle.

Method for dewatering sludge assisted by flocculating reagent, said method comprising an injection of flocculating reagent into the sludge and a step for dewatering said sludge, characterized in that it comprises a preliminary step for mixing (4) said sludge so as to destructure it and reduce its viscosity. Installation for implementing this method.

A method and system for measuring and treating fluid streams having particles therein is disclosed. A sample of the fluid stream is obtained and processed to remove large particles, to obtain an aliquot of the fluid stream with some particles therein. A parameter in the aliquot is measured that relates to quantity and/or charge of the particles. The aliquot was found to be representative of the whole fluid stream, so when the parameter deviates from a desired value, this indicates that particles in the fluid stream require treatment. The method and system can further include treating the particles in the fluid stream until the measured parameter in the aliquot returns to the desired value.
