An integrated apparatus for chemical precipitation and rapid filtration of water samples. The invention relates to an apparatus for chemical precipitation and filtration of water samples. The integrated apparatus includes a reaction vessel, a lid of reaction vessel, a opening for reagent addition and gas leakage, an aerating tube, a support, a liquid phase remover, a solid phase collector, a control cover of the liquid phase remover, and a control cover of the solid phase collector.

In a method for reconditioning an industrial oil and in an oil recovery system therefor, a used industrial oil is reconditioned by adding a liquid separation booster to the used industrial oil, and then the separation booster with attracted impurities is separated from the used industrial oil while leaving at least one specific additive in the oil. The separation booster is designed to attract impurities in the used oil while not attracting at least one specific additive in the oil.

A transportable multi-chamber water filtration system useable at construction sites with sources of contaminated water is disclosed. The transportable multi-chamber water filtration system removes sediment and contaminants from contaminated water by combined processes of gravitational settling, filtration and coagulation of sediment by the use of flocculants. The system provides efficient removal of sediment and contaminants from the water around various sized sites.

A spoil treatment plant configured within a frame for easy relocation. The spoil treatment plant comprises a dump bin held within the frame for receiving spoil, a vibrating screen separator mounted in the frame away from the dump bin, an elevator located within the frame, the elevator transporting spoil from the dump bin to the vibrating screen separator, a slurry tank within the frame below the vibrating screen separator that collects slurry; and a chute adjacent the vibrating screen separator that delivers spadeable fill. The vibrating screen separator separates the spoil into spadeable fill delivered from the chute and fine slurry delivered to the slurry tank. The spoil treatment plant may also comprise a further dewatering element, such as a rotary press, that extracts water from the spadeable fill.

A method of processing pulp, extracted from red mud in processing bauxite, includes the following steps. The pulp is filtered to obtain a first filter cake and a first filtrate. Aluminum is leached from the first filter cake by adding, to the first filter cake, sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution to form an aluminum-containing first slurry. The first slurry is filtered to obtain an aluminum-containing second filter cake and a second filtrate. From the second filtrate, in presence of carbon dioxide gas, first aluminum compounds are filtered out. Aluminum is leached out from the second filter cake by adding, to the second filter cake, NaOH solution to form a second slurry. The second slurry is filtered to obtain a third filter cake and an aluminum-containing third filtrate. From the third filtrate, second aluminum compounds are precipitated out which include sodium hydroaluminocarbonate and aluminum hydroxide.

A method and system for treating oilfield produced water is disclosed. The method includes passing oilfield produced water through a chain of filters, first filter configured to filter particles of a size larger than 10 m from the water, a second filter configured to filter remaining particles of a size larger than 2 m from the water and a third filter configured to filter remaining particles of a size larger than 0.5 m from the water and automatically cleaning at least one of the filters.
