Abstract
A magnetic separator for use in water treatment. Magnetic floc collected from water by the magnetic separator and delivered to a shearing device. Sheared slurry of magnetic seeds and sludge returned to same magnetic separator for extracting the seeds from the sludge and returning the seed to the water for reuse.
Claims19
A water treatment system comprising:
- a. a moving magnetic collector for collecting magnetic floc;
- b. a shear device for receiving the magnetic floc and producing a sheared slurry of magnetic seeds and sludge;
- c. a removal device for removing the magnetic floc from the moving magnetic collector such that the magnetic floc can be transferred to the shear device;
- d. the magnetic collector and shear device being configured such that the magnetic collector collects the magnetic seeds from the sheared slurry;
- and
- e. wherein the same moving magnetic collector collects the magnetic floc and collects the magnetic seeds that have been sheared from the magnetic floc.
