An apparatus for separating off amalgam particles from the waste waters produced in a dental practice contains a vertical amalgam separation cyclone (24) and an air separation cyclone (22) connected upstream of this. A circulation pump (40) continuously circulates a base water stream through both these cyclones. Via a free-jet nozzle (36), amalgam particle-containing waste water is fed to this base stream. An overflow (58) or a magnetically operated valve (400), controlled in a level-dependent manner, serves for taking off a corresponding amount of purified water from the circulation. On the amalgam separation cyclone (24) is mounted an amalgam collecting vessel (26) which receives water highly enriched with amalgam particles and, after sedimentation of these particles, feeds back purified water to the amalgam separation cyclone (24). For this purpose, the amalgam collecting vessel (26) is equipped with a special deflector piece (76). ...

In biological effluent treatment by the activated sludge process, the concentration of the degradable impurities in the effluent fed is maintained so high that the formation of bulking sludge is promoted. This is effected by adjusting the space loading to a value from 1 to 2. Due to the degradation properties of the microorganisms forming the bulking sludge, more organic pollution load in the effluent can be degraded. Subsequently, the activated sludge is separated from the treated effluent and at least partially recirculated.

An apparatus and method for optimizing hydro-cyclone separation in a filtering system is disclosed. The apparatus includes a first, second and third storage tanks, a pump, a motor, a variable speed drive, and a hydro-cyclone. The pump pulls fluid from the third storage tank and routes it to the hydro-cyclone where particles are separated out. The filtered fluid is then routed onto a mechanism, such as a car wash, where the clean fluid is utilized. Since the car wash cannot always use all of the filtered fluid, a controller monitor flow rate and fluid pressure, and operates a proportional fluid control valve to bypass some or all of the fluid routed to the car wash and redirect it back to the second storage tank. This process allows the hydro-cyclone to operate at maximum efficiency while flow to the carwash may vary. The dirty particles separated out by the hydro-cyclone are routed to the first storage tank. 1.

Purification of aqueous solutions from metal contamination with activated manganese dioxide

Принадлежит: JS MEYER ENGINEERING PC

The present disclosure relates, according to some embodiments, to systems and methods for removal of contaminants from water including, but not limited to, industrial wastewater, brackish water, municipal wastewater, drinking waters, and particularly waters obtained from fracking operations. For example, a method for purifying a feed water composition may comprise (a) contacting the feed water composition with an activated manganese dioxide to form an activated manganese dioxide-containing feed water composition, where the activated manganese dioxide was formed by contacting soluble organics with soluble permanganate ions (MnO 4 − ) at a pH from about 5.5 to about 14; (b) increasing the pH of the activated manganese dioxide-containing feed water composition sufficient to form a contaminant precipitate and an alkaline solution, wherein the contaminant precipitate comprises at least some of the metal; (d) removing the contaminant precipitate from the alkaline solution to form a treated water, wherein the treated water is purified relative to the feed water composition. The activated manganese dioxide material may be formed in situ by adding the soluble permanganate ions to the feed water composition where the permanganate will react with the contained proper organic or a proper organic added to the feed water composition, such as glycerin. In the alternative, the activated manganese dioxide can be formed in vitro by reacting the soluble permanganate ions with the proper organic, and the resulting activated manganese dioxide can thereafter be added to the feed water composition. Optionally, the pH of treated water can be lowered, for example to a pH suitable for transportation or for further industrial use, such as liquid road salt. In addition, either or both the feed water composition and the treated water can be exposed to activated carbon. Further yet, the treated water can be exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light. The treated water is then suitable for industrial ...
