Abstract
A dispersion for use with an effluent treatment system, and methods of making and using such a dispersion, whereby the dispersion includes a polymer substantially uniformly dispersed within an aqueous solvent. The dispersion can be generated by (i) combining a gas with the polymer and the aqueous solvent, whereby the gas may be effective to disperse the polymer within the aqueous solvent and provide a gas-polymer-aqueous solvent mixture; and (ii) flowing the gas-polymer-aqueous solvent mixture through a mixing chamber comprising static mixing elements disposed therein, whereby the static mixing elements may be effective to further disperse the polymer within the aqueous solvent.
Claims21
A dispersion for use with an effluent treatment system, said dispersion comprising:
