Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a compounding system, in particular to a compounding system for a green flocculant for water treatment. Background Technique
[0002] With the continuous strengthening of the public's environmental protection awareness and the increasingly strict environmental regulations, the traditional organic synthetic polymer flocculants and inorganic salt coagulants on the market will leave toxic monomers or metal ions, which are prone to cause secondary pollution. Therefore, it is necessary to find a green polymer flocculant that is cheap, renewable, and does not cause other secondary pollution. At present, there have been reports on the preparation and application of modified natural polymer flocculants such as starch, cellulose, and chitosan. Among them, starch, as a commonly used green and biodegradable natural polymer material, has good application scenarios.
[0003] The existing starch-based flocculants are usually prepared with single-produced starch. The linear and branched molecular structures it contains are relatively close, resulting in similar properties. Also, based on the viscosity of the starch alkalization solution, the molecular weight and chain structure distribution of the starch solution can be indirectly judged. Therefore, a compounding system can be used to regulate the mixing ratio of the alkalization solutions of corn starch and sweet potato starch, and at the same time monitor the viscosities of the alkalization solutions of corn starch and sweet potato starch, thereby enriching the molecular structure of the starch substrate, optimizing the ratio of linear and branched chains of starch, and expanding the application range of the green flocculant. Summary of the Utility Model
[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the defects of the above-mentioned existing technologies and provide a compounding system for a green flocculant for water treatment, which regulates the ratio of the alkalization solutions of corn starch and sweet potato starch, accurately monitors the viscosity change of the system, and then improves and optimizes the ratio of linear and branched chains of starch, and expands the application range of the green flocculant.
