Estimating the term…
A method of separating sludge which involves adding an insoluble mineral colloidal suspension into an industrial sludge to destabilize the industrial sludge and separating destabilized components of the industrial sludge. The insoluble mineral colloidal suspension includes magnesium hydroxide. In an alternative embodiment dry finely divided magnesium hydroxide can be added and then dispersed into an industrial sludge. Conventional flocculants and/or coagulants can also be added. Conventional physical separation processes can be used to separate the destabilized industrial sludge.
A method of separating sludges which comprises:
A process for physically separating components of an industrial sludge, wherein the industrial sludge comprises DNF bottom sludge and top float, the improvement comprising adding an insoluble mineral colloidal suspension into the sludge prior to physically separating components of the sludge.
