Abstract

There is provided a method for controlling bio-slimes in a clean circulating water system through a physical-chemical-superconducting high gradient magnetic separation coupling process. An inorganic composite flocculant is added to circulating water to gather Zoogloea in the circulating water with micro-nano particles in hydrosol through demulsification to form alum floc. The resulting water passes through a superconducting high gradient magnetic separation system. A magnetic field strength of the superconducting high gradient magnetic separation system and flow rate of the circulating water are controlled to generate strong magnetic flocculation to allow floc to grow, such that the Zoogloea in the circulating water wraps the micro-nano particles to separate the Zoogloea from water.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method for purifying circulating water in a clean circulating water system, consisting of following steps:
1) adding an inorganic composite flocculant to the circulating water to gather zoogloea in the circulating water with particles in hydrosol through demulsification to form flocs; and
2) Passing the resulting water obtained in step (1) through a physical-chemical-superconducting high gradient magnetic separation (HGMS) coupling system; setting a magnetic flux density of the physical-chemical-superconducting high gradient magnetic separation coupling system as 1.5-4.0 Tesla and controlling a velocity of the circulating water as 0.5-4 mm/s, such that the zoogloea in the circulating water wraps the particles; and separating the zoogloea and the particles from water to produce a purified circulating water;
wherein the inorganic composite flocculant comprises 20-50% by weight of sodium silicate, 20-40% by weight of iron sulfate, 20-40% by weight of zinc sulfate and 5-30% by weight of sodium borate.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the inorganic composite flocculant in step (1) has a boric acid and a silicate group.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the amount of the inorganic composite flocculant in step (1) is 10-80 mg/L.
