Embodiment 1

[0090] Three formulations of an anionic polymer, labeled Products A, B and C, were tested for their ability to aggregate into slurries to determine which was most suitable for in-line injection into solid-liquid applications using the Dynafloccer device. These formulations are listed in Table 1 below. Product A is figure 1 Products reviewed.

Embodiment 3

[0114] Products A, B, and D were evaluated on two coal slurries, the compositions of which are shown in Table 1, using a Koflo(R) in-line static mixer. The sedimentation velocity of the slurry was analyzed using a Clarometer(R) manufactured by Ramsey Technology Inc., Minneapolis, Minn. From these data, the replacement ratio, referred to as "RR", was determined.

[0115] The displacement ratio is an indication of the efficacy of the polymer, ie how much polymer is required to achieve a certain level of performance compared to a control (benchmark). Here, the displacement ratio is the ratio of the amount required to rapidly convert the polymer to product D, the standard polymer in this study, on the basis of the same active species. The performance level chosen was a Clarometer(R) reading of 105.

Abstract

This invention is directed to methods for quickly inverting and dispersing a flocculant in an aqueous slurry to achieve settlement of solids and clarification of the slurry water. In particular, this invention relates to methods for quickly inverting a flocculant-containing emulsion in-line without significantly destabilizing the emulsion. The methods comprise dosing water with at least one water-in-oil emulsion containing at least one of a flocculent polymer and a hydrophilic surfactant and subjecting the water and emulsion to a high shear, turbulent reverse flow, such that the combination of the surfactant and shear synergistically inverts the emulsion, so the flocculant may be directly injected into the slurry. In an alternative embodiment, the emulsion is fed directly to the slurry to be treated and subjected to high shear, such that the emulsion inverts in situ, releasing the flocculant into the slurry for solids / liquid separation.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for rapidly transforming and dispersing a flocculant in an aqueous slurry (such as a mineral slurry) to realize solid-liquid separation in the slurry. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for rapid in-line conversion of liquid flocculants without seriously destabilizing emulsions containing the flocculants. These methods utilize the synergistic combination of surfactants in a flocculant-containing emulsion with high shear provided by, for example, an in-line mixer, such that the flocculant is released for direct addition or injection into the solid-liquid separation process. [0002] The present invention has utility in, for example, mineral and mining processing, paper and pulp manufacturing, recycling processes, waste treatment and any other suitable application field requiring solid-liquid separation. Background technique [0003] Many industrial processes, including mining and miner...
