Description

Technical Field

[0002] Liquid sedimentation tanks are mainly involved in many fields such as industrial wastewater treatment, solid-liquid separation in chemical reaction processes, and material purification. In these processes, liquid sedimentation tanks are the core equipment for achieving material sedimentation, clarification, concentration and solid-liquid separation.

[0003] Wastewater treatment: Wastewater generated in various industrial processes often contains large amounts of impurities such as suspended particles, colloids, and dissolved solids. By adding flocculants or precipitants to the wastewater, the pollutants are coagulated and flocculated, ultimately forming easily sedimentable particles. Liquid sedimentation tanks play a key role in this process, providing sufficient residence time and space for particles to fully settle and effectively separating the supernatant from the sediment.

[0004] Chemical Reaction Processes: In chemical production processes such as metal salt preparation and ore leaching, liquid precipitation tanks are used to clarify solutions and collect precipitated products. By precisely controlling reaction conditions and the flow pattern within the tank, the precipitation reaction is ensured to proceed fully and product quality is improved.

[0005] Material Purification: Liquid settling tanks are also essential in material refining processes such as pickling and dehydration of high-purity quartz sand. They are used to separate metal ions and other impurities precipitated from the quartz sand after pickling, allowing them to settle to the bottom, thereby obtaining a cleaner quartz sand product.

[0006] Environmental protection requirements: With increasingly stringent environmental regulations, higher standards for industrial wastewater discharge are being imposed. Efficient liquid sedimentation tank technology not only helps companies reduce pollution emissions but also helps recover valuable resources, in line with the development trend of a circular economy.
