Liquifloc - (The Filamentous Liquid Polymeric Composition)

Introduction:

Recently, the quantity of fluid drainage discharged from homes and factories has greatly increased. Drainage contains various Organic and inorganic materials in various concentrations. Thus, the pollution of rivers and seas by fluid drainage has become an extensive problem, and many methods have been proposed to overcome the problems of fluid waste. However, new methods arc still needed to overcome many of these problems that remain unsolved.

In one of tile conventional methods of treating fluid drainage, inorganic materials such as hydrated lime, aluminium sulfatc, ferrous sulfate, ferrous chloride, or organic materials such as polyacrylamide, and the like have been used. These flocculants are readily affected by the pH value of the fluid waste, and their performance is adversely affected beyond optimum pH values. Even when the optimum pH values are maintained the flocculants still do not achieve their' maximum efficiency, and moreover, separation of coagulated materials are very often hydrophilic.

In the past one method of attaining greater coagulation and flocculation effects than possible with a single flocculent, has been the use of combinations of two or more flocculants. However, satisfactory results have not been obtained with this technique, and, moreover, the amount of sludge has increased thus requiring a large amount of labour for this type of process.

A need, therefore, exists for flocculants which overcome the inefficiencies and coagulation effects of conventional flocculants. Our technical and high skill expert’s team work for long time and find out a miacle invention which creates great revolution  in waste water treatment technology, which overcome the disadvantages of the prior art flocculants. These flocculants have excellent characteristics and may be used in various applications.

Liquifloc can be used as a flocculants or a coagulant for the clarification of various kinds offluid drainage. Only small amounts of the Liquifloc are necessary to treat drainage material so that it is very economical Liquifloc also exhibits unpredictable coagulation effects. For example, the Liquifloc is very effective for the coagulation of inorganic material as well as organic materials without being appreciably effected by changes in pH, so that the Liquifloc can be applied to various types of fluid drainage, especially various emulsion drainage materials containing mineral oil, cutting oil, food drainage, dye bath drainage and the like which have been difficult to remove by conventional coagulants.

The various precipitates, sludge or flocks formed by the flocculation process arc not in the form of granules, but in the form of fibers or very fine threads which have hydrophobic properties so that sep3ration and collection of the flocculated or coagulated materials from the drainage material is very easy, and large amounts of the drainage materials can be desirably treated.

The Liquifloc can be easily diluted with water in order to decrease the viscosity of the composition, whereby the solution changes from a cloudy solution to a clear solution. The coagulating characteristics of the Liquifloc are maintained even when diluted. Accordingly, it is possible to use the Liquifloc in a diluted form.

When the Liquifloc is used as a flocculants, it is possible to combine the Liquifloc with a conventional flocculants such as a calcium compound, e.g. hydrated lime, magnesium sulfate, ferrous sulfate, magnesium hydroxide, magnesium carbonate, water soluble alkylititanate, and the like, and also polyacrylamide, and the like.

As stated above, the Liquifloc of this invention is a viscous material having high appreciable filamentary properties which possesses excellent coagulation characteristics even when a small amount of the Liquifloc is diluted with water. Various industrial needs can be attained by the application of this Liquifloc to polluted waste materials.

Test at our laboratory for reference are as follows.

Test - I

To 200 ml of cloudy water containing 1000 ppm of kaolin clay, 20 ml of cloudy solution of Liquifloc was added. The mixture was stirred and allowed to remain quiescent for 10 minutes. The cloudiness of the resulting supernatant liquid was measured by a photoelectric colorimeter which was determined to be 23. The cloudiness of the kaolin clay containing water was 700. The resulting precipitate had hydrophobic properties and was easily filtered.

Test - 2

To 200 ml of river drainage containing 1100 ppm of solid components (cloudiness 600), 10 m' of the diluted Liquifloc was added. The mixture was stirred and then allowed to remain quiescent for 10 minutes. The cloudiness of the resulting supernatant liquid was 10
