Abstract
An apparatus and a method for removing salts from a liquid are described. A first liquid containing at least one salt is mixed with magnetic composite particles. A subsequent separation of the particles from the liquid is achieved using an electromagnetic source.
Claims23
An apparatus for removing salts from a
- liquid comprising:
- a first liquid containing at least one salt,
- magnetic composite particles,
- a tank (2) for storing the first liquid containing at least one salt, a mixing tank (4) in fluid communication with the tank (2) for mixing the first liquid
- containing at least one salt with the magnetic composite particles, and
- an electromagnetic separator (5) in fluid communication with the mixing tank (4),
- wherein the electromagnetic separator (5) comprises an electromagnetic source (6).
4 more elements
A method for removing salts from a liquid comprising the steps:
- providing a first liquid containing at least one salt,
- feeding magnetic composite particles to the liquid and mixing the magnetic composite particles with the first liquid, and
- separating the magnetic composite particles having at least a portion of the at least one salt adsorbed on the magnetic composite particles from the first liquid using an electromagnetic source.
