Abstract: A process for the treatment of waste waters containing chemically reducible dissolved organic and inorganic pollutants and suspended mater in particulate or colloidal form. The process comprises of contacting the water with metallic iron or ferrous ions (Fe2+), or mixtures thereof, in the presence of promoter metals, such as Cu, Pd, Pt, Au, Ag, and Ni, or oxides, sulfides and other insoluble compounds of these meals, which catalyze the redox reductions carried out by the iron or ferrous reagents. The production of ferric ions (Fe3+) as a final iron oxidation product allows for the simultaneous coagulation and precipitation of suspended colloidal and particulate solids out of the aqueous phase. In addition to the main reductive reaction scheme, the system performs a multitude of secondary reactions involving the ferrous and ferric ions produced in-situ which allows for the simultaneous removal of specific target pollutants, such as phosphate and hydrogen sulfide. The net effect of a treatment in accordance to this invention is the decrease in a wide range of carbonaceous, nitrogenous and other targeted pollutants present in a waste water stream in a dissolved, colloidal or particulate form and the chemical conversion, commonly referred to as “softening”, of non-readily biodegradable pollutants through a generally complex set of reactions and physical processes. As a result, the implementation of the process prior to or in parallel to conventional biological treatment makes the latter more feasible, more efficient, more economical in terms of both capital investment and operating cost and, also, the anally discharged water more compatible with environmental demands.

Abstract: A method for the conditioning of phosphoric acid containing solutions is described, wherein the solution is converted to a solid material by adding an aluminum compound. This solid material can readily be stored in disposal sites because it is not water-soluble. This method is particularly suited for the conditioning of phosphoric acid containing solutions from metal processing. An apparatus (10) for carrying out the method has a mixing tube (12) with a longitudinal axis (M) as well as an inlet (14) and an outlet (16). At least two liquid supply nozzles (18 and 20) open into the mixing tube inlet (14) and, with respect to the inlet crosssectional area of same, into a central area. Moreover, at least one gas supply nozzle (22) which is arranged radially outward of the liquid supply nozzles (18 and 22) opens into the mixing tube inlet (14). The longitudinal axis (G) of each gas supply nozzle (22) is inclined relative to the longitudinal center axis (M) in such a manner that said axes do not intersect. The angle between each longitudinal axis (G) and the longitudinal center axis (M) amounts to at least 5°.

Abstract: Methods and compositions are disclosed for treating swimming pool waters in order to remove one or more nutrients necessary for algal growth and to accelerate the breakdown of objectionable chloramines within chlorinated pool waters. The target nutrients of preference are those containing phosphorus or nitrogen. Phosphorus nutrients are preferably removed by ion-exchange with finely divided lanthanum carbonate, or by direct precipitation in the pool with liquid lanthanum chloride. Nitrogen nutrients (including, in particular, chloramines) may be removed (possibly with the aid of catalysts and in separate reactors). The same reagents used to scavenge phosphates are useful in this regard, the nitrogen being released from the pool water as a nitrogenous gas. To allow the fine lanthanum carbonates to be conveniently handled in the pool environment, they may be linked to larger carrier particles, such as those of diatomaceous earth, or they may be embedded within porous beads formed from polymers or gels. In this form the reagent can be either added to, retained within and backwashed from pool filters, or added directly to pools (with or without a flocculating agent) and sucked to waste after settling. A variety of formulations for these purposes is disclosed.

Abstract: A method of treating an organic waste water, which is capable of separating and recovering phosphorus components in a liquid or solid form, is provided. According to the method of the present invention, reuse of phosphorus components can be facilitated, while the content of phosphorus components contained in a large quantity of a primary treated liquid can be reduced. The following steps are utilized in the method of the present invention: (1) an aeration step for aerobically treating a waste water; (2) a solid-liquid separation step for separating the waste water after the aeration into a primary treated liquid and a primary sludge; (3) a phosphorus component release step for releasing phosphorus components from the separated primary sludge to a liquid phase; and (4) a solid-liquid separation step for separating the primary sludge after releasing the phosphorus components into a secondary treated liquid containing the released phosphorus components and a secondary sludge essentially free from phosphorus components.

Abstract: The metal oxide media includes oxides and hydroxides of iron, and other metals. The material is derived from basic-oxygen steel-making process, and includes a high calcium content. The oxide surfaces facilitate the adsorption of phosphorus, and the increased pH facilitates the precipitation of calcium and other phosphates. The oxides are a catalyst for converting organic phosphorus to inorganic form. Limestone may be added to the oxides, to ensure a long-term source of calcium, and to maintain high pH for long periods.
