Clarification of recycled water of gas cleaning of a blast furnace using a water-dispersible flocculant

Summary

The results of laboratory testing of choosing the optimal flocculant for clarification of recycled water of blast furnace gas cleaning are presented. Laboratory testing was carried out according to the standard method of sedimentation (clarification) in glasses. It has been shown that the use of ATE 12520 liquid water-dispersible flocculant provides for the successful removal of suspended solids and turbidity from gas cleaning recycled water. The proposed chemical treatment program was recommended for commercial testing of the clarification system of gas cleaning recycled water of a blast furnace at one of the ironworks in Russia. The ATE 12520 flocculant dosage range recommended for testing (as commercial chemical) in terms of wastewater supplied to the circular sedimentation tank is 0.3–0.5 g/m³.

Removing malodorous substances from gas-air mixtures in wastewater disposal systems

Summary

A scientific justification is given for the use of the method of hydrogen sulfide absorption by aqueous media containing an oxidizer – hypochlorite ion, obtained electrochemically in a stream of reusable absorption solution, in a countercurrent absorber for gas-air mixture purification in wastewater disposal systems. The results of theoretical and experimental studies of the influence of operational factors on the efficiency of removing hydrogen sulfide from gas-air mixtures using the proposed method are presented. Recommendations for using the method are given. A process flow scheme for gas-air mixture purification in wastewater disposal systems using the method of hydrogen sulfide absorption by aqueous media containing an oxidizer – hypochlorite-ion, as well as the process parameters for its application, are presented. The results of estimating the economic efficiency of the developed technology are provided.
