The invention discloses a 
coal slurry concentration increasing and industrial 
wastewater treating process and device. The process comprises the following steps: (1) crushing 
coal, and then adding water and a dispersant for coarse 
grinding till the particle size is 50 microns or below, thus obtaining 
slurry 1; (2) performing shaping 
grinding on 25 to 35 weight percent of 
slurry 1 till the particle size is 20 to 30 microns, thus obtaining slurry 2, and pumping the residual slurry 1 serving as a water 
coal slurry product into a water 
coal slurry storage tank for gasification; (3) performing ultrafine 
grinding on 15 to 25 weight percent of the slurry 2 till the particle size is 5 to 10 microns, thus obtaining slurry 3, and conveying the residual slurry 2 and the newly obtained slurry 3 into the coarse grinding stage for coarse grinding, wherein after the coarse grinding in the step (1) and the steps (2) and (3) are repeatedly performed for multiple times, the aim of effectively increasing the concentration of the slurry 1 is fulfilled. In the concentration increasing process, used water can be replaced with industrial 
wastewater. According to the 
coal slurry concentration increasing and industrial 
wastewater treating process disclosed by the invention, the concentration of the 
coal slurry can be increased by at least 3 percent; the gasification 
energy consumption can be substantially reduced; the coal slurry concentration increasing and industrial wastewater treating process has the characteristics of safety, reliability, convenience in improvement and obvious economical benefits.
