The conventional silica-based flocculating liquid is obtained by dissolving the silica-based flocculating liquid raw material in a neutral acid or a reducing acid, specifically dilute sulfuric acid. When the silica-based flocculating liquid raw material is dissolved, it is dissolved in water. It was found that the method of adding dilute sulfuric acid after dissolving the silica-based flocculant raw material causes the silica-based flocculant raw material to be in a sol-gel state, which has a drawback that the ratio of the monomer silica is small and the stability is insufficient. Although there is a statement in the prior art that a silica-based flocculant raw material is added to dilute sulfuric acid, there is no recognition that the order of addition has a large effect on the proportion of monomer silica.

[0007] Further, a silica-based flocculating liquid in which twice as much raw material is dissolved is required in view of transportation efficiency and the like, but it has been found that the required monomer silica is reduced depending on the production method. That is, when the silica-based flocculant raw material is dissolved in 1 liter of 1N dilute sulfuric acid to dissolve the same amount, a 1N silica-based flocculation liquid can be obtained. When the silica-based flocculant raw material is dissolved in 1 liter of dilute sulfuric acid, the equivalent amount (double the amount when 1N) is dissolved, silica is polymerized where the pH is partially increased by the addition of the silica-based flocculant raw material. It was also found that anhydrous silica is produced at a low pH, so that less monomer silica is required.

Next, if necessary, the pH in the dissolution tank is adjusted to 2.5.
Judge whether or not it exceeds. If the reaction between the dilute sulfuric acid and the raw material proceeds, the pH in the dissolution tank will rise. When the pH is less than 2.5, the reaction has not yet reached the dissolution equilibrium, and therefore the pH is maintained for several minutes until it exceeds 2.5. By this retention, the reaction proceeds and the pH rises. Since the pH converges when the reaction is continued, it is not necessary to make a pH judgment if the relationship between the reaction time and the pH convergence is grasped. In terms of equipment cost reduction, it is preferable to adopt a method that does not make such pH judgment.

The silica-based coagulation liquid obtained by the present invention is a dissolved substance or emulsion substance contained in water,
It is used for adsorption, aggregation and elimination of diffusing agents, oils, suspended solids, etc., and is extremely effective for oil-water separation of wastewater containing oil (animal oil, vegetable oil, mineral oil), which is currently particularly difficult. Such an effect is considered to be due to the influence of the monomer / silica. That is, the monomer / silica has a function of adsorbing or aggregating organic substances, surfactants and other organic substances, inorganic ions, plankton, bacteria and suspended substances. This function is not found in Al-based, Fe-based, and polymer-based coagulants. These are the characteristics of the monomer / silica, that is, during the process of polymerization and gelation of the monomer / silica, micelles are rapidly formed with the organic substances in the water, etc., and the interaction with inorganic ions occurs. By rapidly accelerating the gelation reaction of silica.
