Industrial
wastewater contains higher levels of suspended solids and organic materials.
These suspended solids are stabilized by negative electric charges, causing
them to repel each other. Rather than settling, these particles are kept in
suspension by repulsion. In such cases, chemical treatment is required to
neutralize the charges on colloidal particles, as the solids cannot be
separated easily with conventional filtration or settling methods. On chemical
dosing, mainly polyelectrolytes, there undergo two very basic working mechanisms
i.e., coagulation and flocculation.
Coagulation
is the neutralization of charges on suspended particles, leading to their
destabilization and subsequent aggregation. Flocculation helps to fill the gaps
between the destabilized particles, allowing them to make larger, denser flocs,
which can be easily separated from the treated water through sedimentation. The
efficiency of this process depends upon the coagulant type, dosage, pH value,
temperature, nature, the concentration of organic matter, and distribution of
colloidal particles in suspensions. The benefits of coagulation and
flocculation are numerous. They effectively remove suspended solids, organic
matter, inorganic compounds, and microorganisms from wastewater and minimize
the impact on the environment.
Some
of the major impacts, these processes have on water treatment.
·
Removal
of suspended solids –
The primary purpose is to remove suspended solids, resulting the clear
effluent.
·
Contaminants
removal - The
coagulants bind with these contaminants, allowing them to be captured and
removed during subsequent treatment steps.
·
Enhanced
Treatment Efficiency –This
indispensable Process enhances the overall efficiency of wastewater treatment
by reducing the load on downstream processes.
·
Phosphorus
Removal - It is
a critical environmental concern, and is efficiently addressed through the
process.
·
pH
Adjustment – It
is necessary for water treatment to optimize the performance of coagulant and
flocculant polyelectrolytes
Wastewater
treatment deals with the processes required to decrease contaminant levels
present in the water before its disposal in the environment, depending upon the
source of water and geographical conditions. We are witnessing a lot of
implementations of physicochemical processes which handle wastewater starting
from simple removal of suspended matter to cleaning of RO membrane systems. The
process may range from simple sedimentation and decantation to the use of UV
technology, depending upon the type of level of contamination. The treated wastewater
can be used for agriculture, soil conditioning, energy generation, etc.
