MAGNESIUM HYDROXIDE COLLOIDAL SUSPENSIONS
BACKGROUND
[0001] The present invention relates generally to separating sludges and more particularly to the use of insoluble magnesium hydroxide colloidal suspensions that can be added to sludges and/or floats to aid in separation.
[0002] The wastewater produced from different kinds of industries normally contains very fine suspended solids, dissolved solids, inorganic and organic particles, metals and other impurities. Due to very small size of the particles and presence of surface charge, the task to bring these particles closer to make heavier mass for settling and filtration becomes challenging.
[0003] Petroleum refining generates large volumes of oily wastewater. With industrial development, there is increase in the amount of oil used. Oil refining, oil storage, transportation and petrochemical industries in the production process generate a lot of oily wastewater.
[0004] Separating sludge increases recycled content, reduces the overall volume of waste generated as well as increases the outlets available for disposal.
Industrial wastewater sludges are often difficult to separate due to relative density of the components as well as particle size and charge distribution. For example, refinery sludge becomes increasingly difficult to process as the inorganic content of the crude slate increases. Various processes throughout refineries increase both the organic content in the form of polymer flocculants and the inorganic content captured by the flocculants.

For example, refinery sludge becomes increasingly difficult to process as the inorganic content of the crude slate increases. Various processes throughout refineries increase both the organic content in the form of polymer flocculants and the inorganic content captured by the flocculants.
[0005] The low density of particulates in sludge combined with the low density of the accumulated spent flocculants and the increased density of the water component, with high dissolved solids, results in poor separation.
[0006] Various traditional and advanced technologies have been utilized to remove the colloidal particles from wastewater; such as ion exchange, membrane filtration, precipitation, flotation, solvent extraction, adsorption, coagulation, flocculation, biological and electrolytic methods.
[0007] Traditional approaches include the addition of bentonite, lime, ferric compounds, or varying combinations of expensive coagulants and flocculants.
These are often ineffective or require significant dosing rates.
These are often ineffective or require significant dosing rates.
[0008] Petroleum refiners use Dissolved Nitrogen Floatation (DNF) units for clarifying wastewater from a variety of refining processes that include washing from a desalter and other wastewater generated processes within a refinery.
[0009] DNF units force nitrogen under pressure in the form of microscopic bubbles often with a coagulant additive to float particulate matter that has densities near that of water to the top of the unit where they are skimmed off.
Solids that are higher in density sink to the bottom where they are collected separately. The middle phase which is absent of solids is sent to wastewater treatment for processing before discharge.

[0010] The DNF bottom sludge and top float are often combined for further treatment. According to one aspect the present invention relates to processing of the combined DNF sludge and float.
11 - 3 - PCT/US2017/048333 [0011] Coagulation is the destabilization of colloidal particles brought about by the addition of a chemical reagent known as a coagulant. Flocculation is the agglomeration of destabilized particles into microfloc, and later into bulky floccules which can be settled called floc.
[0012] Coagulation is the process by which colloidal particles and very fine solid suspensions initially present in a wastewater stream are combined into larger agglomerates that can be separated by means of sedimentation, flocculation, filtration, centrifugation, or other separatory methods. This involves a chemical process in which destabilization of non-settleable particles is realized.
These non-settleable particles can include most colloids as well as extremely small solid particles and all solvated (dissolved) particles. These particles form clumps with the help of a coagulant. Coagulation is commonly achieved by adding different types of chemicals (coagulants) to a wastewater stream to promote destabilization of any colloid dispersion present and the agglomeration of the individual resultant colloidal particles. Coagulation is the destabilization of these colloids by neutralizing the electrostatic forces that keep them apart.
Cationic coagulants provide positive electrostatic charges to reduce the negative electrostatic charges (zeta potential) of the colloids. As a result, these particles collide to form these larger floc particles.

[0013] Flocculation refers to the coming together of particles by means of a physical or mechanical process resulting in the joining together of large aggregated clumps (or flocs) to form larger masses and eventually to precipitate them from the liquid phase and thereby convert them into the solid phase for further separation. In coagulation, these forces responsible for keeping the particles suspended and dispersed after they contact each other are reduced.
This is usually referred to as collapsing the colloid and/or precipitate formation in the case of solvated particles. Flocculation joins these de-established colloidal dispersions into large aggregates that enter the solid phase.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS AND THE PRESENTLY
PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0017] The present invention relates generally to separating sludges and more particularly to the addition of insoluble magnesium hydroxide colloidal suspensions to DNF, DAF, and API sludges, and other sludge wastes for purposes of separation and component recovery.
[0018] The insoluble colloidal magnesium hydroxide suspension used in the present invention can be obtained from mined sources or formed by precipitation and added as a colloidal suspension to sludges and/or floats. Those familiar with the art will understand the benefits of using these materials to destabilize various types of sludge including DNF, DAF, API, and other sludge and/or float wastes.
[0019] According to one aspect the present invention involves the introduction of magnesium hydroxide to process sludges which acts to inhibit the effect of accumulated spent flocculent and increase the density of new flocculent such that traditional processing equipment can be used to more effectively process sludges.
[0020] The use of magnesium hydroxide allows the introduction and/or formation of stable and pumpable, high concentration suspensions without detrimentally altering pH or significantly increasing total solids content.
The low solubility results in a diffuse solids component with suitable charge that adds density to the floc and allows for easy settling or centrifugation from the water and oil components of the sludges.
The low solubility results in a diffuse solids component with suitable charge that adds density to the floc and allows for easy settling or centrifugation from the water and oil components of the sludges.
[0021] Adding an insoluble colloidal magnesium hydroxide suspension into an industrial sludge according to the present invention causes colloidal particles and very fine solid suspensions initially present in the industrial sludge to combine into larger agglomerates that can be separated by means of sedimentation, flocculation, filtration, centrifugation, or other separatory methods.
[0022] The insoluble colloidal magnesium hydroxide suspensions of the present invention can include mined material suspended in an aqueous solution or precipitated from soluble compounds to yield suspended solids.
[0023] The insoluble colloidal mineral suspensions used in the present invention can have as little of 25% percent solids by weight and up to 65%
percent solids by weight with about 50-60% solids by weight being generally suitable for purposes of the present invention. In an alternative embodiment to adding an insoluble colloidal mineral suspension to a sludge dry solids of finely divided magnesium hydroxide can be added to the sludge and then dispersed.
However this alternative does not afford the ease of addition or certainty of thorough solids distribution.

In an alternative embodiment to adding an insoluble colloidal mineral suspension to a sludge dry solids of finely divided magnesium hydroxide can be added to the sludge and then dispersed.
However this alternative does not afford the ease of addition or certainty of thorough solids distribution.
[0024] While the insoluble colloidal magnesium hydroxide suspension used according to the present invention causes colloidal particles and very fine solid suspensions initially present in an industrial sludge to combine into larger agglomerates, it can be understood that the addition of other known coagulants and/or flocculants can also be used to aid and improve agglomeration and clumping for separation purposes
[0025] According to the present invention exemplary sludges include industrial wastewater sludges in general, refinery sludges and in particular sludges from processes such as DNF, DAF, API separators, and tank clean-out sludges.
[0026] For purposes of the present invention conventional flocculants/coagulants can also be used including mineral, natural and synthetic materials as well as those listed above.
Examples
Examples
[0027] The following non-limited Examples are provided to illustrate various features and characteristics of the present invention which are not intended to be specifically limited thereto.
Example 1
Example 1
[0028] In this example DNF sludge and float were transferred from a DNF tank to a smaller tank where a 50-60% solids by weight suspension of magnesium hydroxide was added at 1.75% by volume of the DNF sludge and float. A
coagulant (water soluble cationic polymer) was added at 500 parts per million to aid in separation. The combined mixture was heated from ambient temperature to 170 F. The heated material was then fed to a three phase centrifuge to separate clean water (centrate), oils and solids. The centrate had the characteristic of having less than 1% particulate solids and could be sent back (recovered and recycled) to the DNF or sent on to wastewater treatment. The oil could be recovered (and recycled) and the solids could be disposed of.
Example 2
coagulant (water soluble cationic polymer) was added at 500 parts per million to aid in separation. The combined mixture was heated from ambient temperature to 170 F. The heated material was then fed to a three phase centrifuge to separate clean water (centrate), oils and solids. The centrate had the characteristic of having less than 1% particulate solids and could be sent back (recovered and recycled) to the DNF or sent on to wastewater treatment. The oil could be recovered (and recycled) and the solids could be disposed of.
Example 2
[0029] In this example the same procedure in Examples 1 above was followed except 200 ppm of water soluble anionic was added to the sludge and float. The combined mixture was heated from ambient temperature to 170 F. The heated material was then fed to a three phase centrifuge to separate clean water (centrate), oils and solids. The centrate had the characteristic of having less than 1% particulate solids and could be sent back (recovered and recycled) to the DNF or sent on to wastewater treatment. The oil could be recovered (and recycled) and the solids could be disposed of.
[0030] Although the present invention has been described with reference to particular means, materials and embodiments, from the foregoing description, one skilled in the art can easily ascertain the essential characteristics of the present invention and various changes and modifications can be made to adapt the various uses and characteristics without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as described above and set forth in the attached claims.
