A method for removing a solute from a fluid using magnetically conditioned coagulation includes magnetically conditioning the fluid by applying a conditioning magnetic field to enhance the precipitation of solute particles for coagulation; adding a coagulant to the fluid before, during, or after application of the conditioning magnetic field to coagulate the increased available solute particles to form colloids; and collecting the colloids for removal from the fluid.

A process and an apparatus are described for treating seven types of saline waters each having a concentration of total dissolved solids exceeding 1 g/L, wherein the concentration of total dissolved solids, the ratio of the chloride ion concentration to the bicarbonate ion concentration and the ratio of the chloride ion concentration to the sulphate ion concentration of each of the water types are as indicated in Table 1. The process includes the steps of contacting the water with a first reagent comprising a source of calcium ions selected from calcium oxide and calcium hydroxide to form a first solid product which is recovered. The process includes a further step of subjecting at least a portion of the partially processed water to at least partial evaporation so as to promote the formation of a precipitate and a mother liquor. The precipitate is recovered as a second product.

On-Line and Off-Line methods of simultaneously cleaning and disinfecting an industrial water system are described and claimed. The methods involve the addition to the water of the industrial water system of a Compound selected from the group consisting of the alkali salts of chlorite and chlorate and mixtures thereof; and an acid, followed by allowing the water in the industrial water system to circulate for several hours. The reaction of the alkali salts of chlorite and chlorate and acid produces chlorine dioxide in-situ in the water of the industrial water system. The chlorine dioxide kills microorganisms and the acid acts to remove deposits upon the water-contact surfaces of the equipment. An alternative method involves the use of a chelating agent and a biocide. Other possible cleaning and disinfection reagents may be added as needed including corrosion inhibitors, chelating agents, biocides, surfactants and reducing agents. These cleaning and disinfecting methods work in a variety of industrial water systems including cooling water and boiler water systems.

A method or process for treating wastewater containing high organics, silica, boron, hardness, and suspended and dissolved solids. The method includes degasifying the wastewater for the removal of dissolved gases and thereafter chemically softening the wastewater. After the chemical softening step, the wastewater is directed through a media filter or membrane which removes additional solids and precipitants. Thereafter the wastewater is directed through a sodium ion exchange that further softens the wastewater. The effluent from the ion exchange is directed through a cartridge filter and the effluent from the cartridge filter is directed through one or more reverse osmosis units. At a selected phase of the process, prior to the wastewater reaching the reverse osmosis unit or units, the pH of the wastewater is raised and maintained such that the pH of the wastewater reaching a reverse osmosis unit is at a pH greater than 10.5.

The invention relates to a method for producing copper chloride hydroxide and blue vitriod by using cupriferous etching wastewater; the method comprises the following steps: acidic copper chloride etching wastewater and alkaline copper chloride etching wastewater are neutralized and crystallized to get acidic copper chloride crystal under the condition of strictly controlling filling liquid and the Ph range of a reaction kettle, and then pumped and filtrated, and centrifugated; part of the obtained alkaline copper chloride crystal is dried to obtain finished products while the other is added with NaOH solution for alkali conversion to obtain copper oxide, and then is acidulated by sulphuric acid, crystallized, washed, centrifugated, and dried to obtain blue vitriod products. The method for producing blue vitriod by directly using sulphuric acid-oxyful etching wastewater includes the following steps: sulphuric acid-oxyful etching wastewater and composition brass wasterwater in a PCB manufacture are blended together and added with NaOH to form cupric hydroxide precipitation which filtrated, washed, and then acidulated by sulphuric acid to obtain copper sulphate solution; after the copper sulphate solution is cooled, crystallized, centrifugated and dried, and the blue vitriod is obtained.

Disclosed is an improved method for the remineralization of process water in a desalination system. The method sequesters carbon dioxide gas (CO₂) from seawater or concentrate (brine) of desalination process via a gas transfer membrane. The sequestered carbon dioxide gas (CO₂) is thereafter used in the production of soluble calcium bicarbonate (Ca(HCO₃)₂). The calcium bicarbonate (Ca(HCO₃)₂) adds hardness and alkalinity to the resulting process water.
