It has been found that the addition of magnesium oxide to water in a chemical mixing tank requires approximately one-half hour for the hydrolysis, so that if the magnesium oxide remains in contact with the water in the chemical mixing tank for a period of time greater than one-half hour, and the mixture is then fed to the water to be treated, a proper efficiency for silica removal will not be obtained. In substantially the same rat as that indicated by their respective weights, tl several types of magnesium oxide are efficiel ien used in the present process, the purer and :hter weight forms producing the highest efflency, while the least pure relatively heavy rms are similarly least efficient. First published on 12th September 2019. After the conversion to elemental silicon and removal of magnesium oxide, the structures of the golden algae were analysed by scanning electron microscopy (Fig. Good sludge contact enhances silica reduction. The relative values of various forms of magesium oxide for silica removal is also generally ndicated by the degree of turbidity, while this haracteristic also offers a means for comparing nagnesia obtained from similar sources. lime-soda water softening. Since silica becomes part of the magnesium precipitant, some means of adding already precipitated magnesium (magnesium oxide) or of precipitating magnesium in situ is used. light magnesium JOHNe-J.oALaES . Figure 6 Thus, the process represented 65 pa by test 6 could not be used on a commercial scale, to especially as one great disadvantage involved in by this process, aside from its relatively Inefficient th silica removal, Is the pronounced increase in be solids content of the water treated, due to the increase in sulphate above mentioned.

OI Lramount Importance is the fact that, in order obtain effective removal of silica from solution * means of any magnesium salts, it is necessary at the Precipitation of magnesium hydroxide effected In situ. However, there is an advantage in using magnesium carbonate in" a slurry form, due to commercial magnesium carbonate frequently being relatively higher in price. Concentrated sulfuric acid decompoEle's it at 2500 to' 3000 C. with the separatiO'n of sand and silica. As the temperature of apx1mately 950 C., is substantially the same as t which is ordinarily maintained in hot-procwater softeners, it will be apparent that a h degree of efficiency of the process can be ected, when using the same for silica removal such softeners concurrently with the so-called e-soda process. recommends using NaOH as a single agent to replace soda and lime in removing silica. Lime softening is one of the most common methods for removing silica from water such as make up to cooling towers, make up to boilers or boiler blow down water. Also, the net cost of the process when using magnesium carbonate is slightly higher than that when using magnesium oxide. 35 r tures, corresponding with pressures of 200 lbs. ---------- 2M 25 20 88 11 10 50 duce a total M alkalinity of the treated water ~o~~s-.......between 20 P.

If there is insufficient magnesium present in the raw water to reduce silica to the desired level, magnesium compounds (such as magnesium oxide, magnesium sulfate, magnesium Magnesium oxide being prepared by the dehydration of magnesium hydroxide at 350°C showed the greatest silica removal efficiency. Additives used to control fouling contain magnesium, silica, manganese, and/or … Hierarchical magnesium oxide (MgO) microspheres with high adsorption capacity of heavy metal ions and potent antibacterial activity were synthesized by an aerosol-assisted method. In the last two columns of Table IV 0 a 50% increase in magnesium oxide to 0.15 gram, both with 15 minutes and 60 minutes retention times, the silica removal was further increased to a net result of something less than 1.0 P. p.

The effect of higher alkalinities could have 5 been attained by using either lime or soda ash in the tests represented by Table IV, but sodium hydroxide was employed for convenience in conducting the tests, wherefore and for such purpose the lime and/or soda ash are considered substltutes for the sodium hydroxide and vice vera. The higher the temperature of operation, the more efficient was the removal of silica and the necessary retention time was 15 minutes at 95°C. For the most efficient silica removal, the hydration, or slaking, reaction should not occur in the slurry tank and transfer lines but should occur after the slurry reaches the downstream reactor.

The facts illustrated by Table III further indicate very definitely the need for control of the alkalinity of the treated water, as unduly high alkalinity results in retaining a certain proportion of the silica in solution. There is no such delay of one-half hour in the formation of magnesium hydroxide, when the magnesium oxide is added to the water in the presence of an alkali, since the magnesium hydroxide forms im- 2 mediately. Sources A, B, C and D refer to four different sampleO of commercial magnesium oxide obtained from seawatel bitterns, and produced b the use of quick-lime for th, precipitation of magnesium therefrom.

Silica scaling is one of the main bottlenecks in the reuse of papermaking effluents by reverse osmosis. and also for extraction and removal … Thus for example the quantity of magnesium that Is reqired to ac-m complish the removal of a given amount of silica is considerably above that which is stoichiometri. Adsorption technology is an easy and flexible method for arsenic removal with high efficiency. This invention relates particularly to a Process for treating and urifying natural waters, nd relates more especially to the treatment of such waters as contain silica and/or its coof Pounds, such waters being distinguished from brines In which the silica, together with other impurities, is present and is removed therefrom, as a preliminary step to the recovery of other substances such as sodium chloride, sodium sulphate, sodium carbonate, sodium borate, and 1i Otassium chloride, as distinguished from directly Preparing a natural water for use in boilers, or for other industrial Purposes. 6H2O was selected as magnesium source to analyze the effect of pH, dosage, temperature, and contact time on silica removal. However, as Le cost of magnesium oxide is to a large degree controlling factor in the treatment of water for lica removal for industrial purposes, it is not enerally considered commercially feasible to use ie U.

Magnesium oxide is the preferred chemical because it does not increase the dissolved solids concentration of the water. To ensure optimum contact, sludge is frequently recirculated back to the inlet of the unit. However, after many years of research upon the subject, none of them offers results approaching those hereinafter described, and as illustrated by the tables incorporated herein.

The soluble silica is generally removed by the method of precipitation with other salts. The aerogel method had the highest surface area and sorption capacity. The results are expressed on the standard scale for measurement of turbidity as SiO2 in P. P. M. Adsorptive properties are known to increase with the degree of particle subdivision, therefore, with a smaller particle size and consequently greater turbidity, as measured above, one can expect greater adsorptive properties generally in the removal of dissolved silica from the solution. s anY cheaP magnesium sa.iG Pt . In order, therefore, to obtain precipitation of magnesium hydroxide In situ, it is necessary that the magnesium oxide be proportioned dry, and fed dry either to the water to be treated, or into a stream of water where a retention time of less than one-half hour has been provided, before introduction by means of such stream into the water to be actually treated for slica removal. 24 24 102 6 15 from natural water, which consists in heating the 0---- 24 24 100 4 17 f 1202 0 88 3 s water to the neighborhood of 95 C. and admixing 0...----------- 2t therewith approximately 2A parts to 7.5 parts (MAGNESIUM CARBONATE ADDED IN DRY FORM) light weight, substantially pure magnesium oxide --- -- I- per part of initial silica expressed as s$O1 in the 9.
