The present invention describes an automated, transportable and energy-efficient with a hybrid power capacity wastewater treatment facility that allows for the disinfection of contaminated sanitation wastewater in order to preserve the environment and provide a greater availability of this resource and its reuse. The facility described in the present invention allows to carry out a process for water treatment in five stages based in equalization, oxidation sedimentation, disinfection and filtration. Moreover, it has a photovoltaic feeding system and a night lighting system that allows the operation of the facility in a hybrid way during the day and the night, as well as a structure that allows its easy transportation. Finally, the facility has an automated system comprised by a control panel that allows to manage and monitor every operational condition of it, that integrates and sends all processed programmable information to a programmable logic controller.

The invention relates to a new biological fluidized bed process with high concentration powder carriers used for the treatment of municipal wastewater, which is a fluidized bed system based on the principle of sewage biochemical treatment, by adding a compound powder carrier to the biochemical tank, and forming a high concentration mixture after mixing and microbial attachment; the sludge mixture after the reaction is concentrated and separated, and then enters the compound powder carrier cyclone separation and recovery system, which can separate most of the compound powder carrier from the discharged excess sludge, and then return to the biochemical tank for recycling. The highly integrated municipal wastewater treatment process proposed in the invention has high treatment efficiency, small occupation area, low operation energy consumption, and can realize the doubling of sewage treatment capacity and the improvement of effluent water quality without adding additional occupancy.

A method for treating process water of a flotation arrangement, the flotation arrangement including a flotation arrangement including a mineral flotation line and a process water treatment arrangement for treating underflow of the of the mineral flotation line. The method includes the steps of a) dewatering underflow from the flotation in a gravitational solid-liquid separator; b) subjecting supernatant from step a) to cleaning flotation for collecting at least fine particles and residual flotation chemicals, for separating at least fine particles and residual flotation chemicals from the supernatant into cleaning flotation overflow, and for forming purified process water as cleaning flotation underflow; c) removing cleaning flotation overflow as tailings, and d) recirculating purified process water into the mineral flotation line.

The present disclosure provides an apparatus comprising a primary treatment system configured to remove solids from an untreated fluid to generate a primary treated fluid. The apparatus further comprises an oxidation treatment system including an inlet configured to receive the primary treated fluid, an ozone inlet configured to receive ozone from an ozone generator, and an outlet configured to dispense secondary treated fluid. The apparatus may further comprise a controller in electrical communication with the ozone generator. The controller is programmed to regulate the flow of ozone through the oxidation treatment system such that an effective amount of ozone contacts the primary treated fluid to generate the secondary treated fluid. In some embodiments, the secondary treated fluid discharging from the oxidation treatment system has a chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal level of greater than 85%.

A clarifier with an improved rake comprising a plurality of arms, wherein each arm of the rake including a series of arcuate blades, which each blade increasing in height and angle relative to the rake arm as radial distance of the blade relative to the center of the rake decreases.

A sewage treatment device includes a fluidized bed body, a reflux device and a chemical feeding device. The fluidized bed body is sequentially provided with a sedimentation zone, a transition zone and a fluidization zone from top to bottom. The reflux device is connected to the fluidized bed body through a reflux pipe. The reflux pipe extends into the fluidized bed body from the sedimentation zone, and the granularity of a crystal product can be controlled by changing the height of a reflux inlet at the bottom end of the reflux pipe in the fluidized bed body. By controlling the position of the reflux inlet of the reflux pipe in the fluidized bed body, combining product granularity requirements, and adjusting an insertion depth of the reflux pipe, the granularity of a final product can be flexibly regulated and controlled, and meanwhile, a product recovery rate is improved.

The intelligent circulation and allocation control system is based on an improved wastewater treatment process coupling physical, chemical and biological technologies and combined with an artificial intelligence technology to treat various water sources in a macroscopic water environment and optimize allocation control.

The invention relates to a process for recovering metals from aqueous solutions or solid feedstocks such as ores and waste. In particular, the invention relates to a method of recovering a target metals using a microorganism.

Disclosed herein are methods of treating metal mine tailings. Embodiments of the method comprise separating the metal mine tailings into a highly contaminated fraction and a tolerable benign fraction, purifying the tolerable benign fraction and disposing the purified tolerable benign fraction within a managed environment, and sequestering the highly contaminated fraction in a sub-aqueous tailings management facility.

A liquid treatment system is provided having a vault that contains a treatment chamber and an outflow chamber. The treatment chamber may have a filtration media layer containing media that treats liquid as it descends through the filtration media layer, where it will accumulate in a porous layer or open space. The liquid will then be directed through the plurality of pipes to the outflow chamber, where the treated liquid is further directed to outside the system. Accumulated debris settled at the bottom of the treatment chamber may be flushed out by a spray bar.
