Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a process for removing silica from aqueous liquors.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a process for removing soluble and colloidal silica from aqueous liquors to minimise the extent of the silica deposits.
  • colloidal form from an aqueous liquor comprising:
  • precipitant/adsorbent is understood herein to mean any element or compound in soluble or insoluble form that is capable by mechanisms of
  • step (a) comprises adjusting the pH of the liquor to promote precipitation/adsorption. It is particularly preferred that step (a) comprises adjusting the pH to be equal to or greater than 8.0.
  • step (a) comprises adjusting the pH to be equal or greater than 8.5.
  • step (a) comprises adjusting the pH to be equal or greater than 9.0.
  • the process further comprises the step of adding an inert particulate carrier prior to or at the same time as the step (b) of adding the
  • particulate carrier is added prior to the addition of the flocculent.
  • the process further comprises, after step (c), agitating the floccs to break up the floccs and separating the inert particulate carrier for recycling in the process.
  • the precipitant/adsorbent comprises a compound containing one or more of aluminium, magnesium, and iron. It is noted that in some situations the precipitant/adsorbent may already be in the liquor and the pH adjustment is required to promote precipitation/adsorption of the dissolved or colloidal silica with/onto the precipitant/adsorbent. It is also noted that in other situations it may be necessary to add the precipitant/adsorbent to the liquor, with or without pH adjustment.
  • precipitant/adsorbent is a soluble aluminium salt such as sodium aluminate, aluminium sulphate or aluminium
  • the process comprises, after step (c), lowering the pH of the liquor to 7.5 or less to precipitate any soluble aluminium retained in the liquor.
  • liquid is understood herein to include aqueous and non-aqueous liquors.
  • pill carrier is understood herein to mean that the particulate carrier is not substantially attacked by the liquor.
  • inert means that the particulate carrier exhibits both suitable chemical and physical stability in the liquors.
  • the inert particulate carrier is selected from the group consisting of sand, alumina, garnet, magnetite, hematite, ilmenite, and calcite.
  • the term "suspended solids" is understood herein to include organic and inorganic material. It is preferred that the flocculent is a
  • polyelectrolyte flocculent as used herein is understood to mean any suitable cationic, non-ionic and anionic flocculent.
  • IPC Inert particulate carrier
  • the water contained a total of 50 ppm silica in dissolved and colloidal form.
  • Example 4 A series of experiments was carried out on water from the cooling water circuit of a Queensland Nickel Pty. Ltd. plant at Gladstone, Queensland.
  • the make-up water to the cooling circuit contained 72 ppm dissolved and colloidal silica and the cooling tower water contained 278 ppm dissolved and colloidal silica.
