Study on Energy Consumption Distribution of High Ferric-Based Silicon Coagulant Using Fractal Dimension

Article Preview

Abstract:

High ferric-based silicon coagulant is a kind of new self-made coagulant. The high ferric content was introduced in the preparation process of the coagulant, and the effect was good in dealing with simulated industrial wastewater with lead. The beaker test indicated that the lead removal rate reached the highest 96.48% when the rapid stirring speed was 300r/min and stirring time was 1min, low stirring speed was 80r/min and stirring time was 15min, the dosage of the coagulant was 3.5ml/L. And the fractal dimension of flocs was 1.67674 under that optimum conditions. The low stirring stage was divided into three different stages in the orthogonal experiment of energy consumption, and the result showed that the optimum combination of flocculation was: velocity gradient G1=67.7s-1, stirring time T1=4min; G2=57.8 s-1, T2=5min; G3=23.9s-1, T3=6min. The removal rate of lead ion improved and the energy consumption decreased when the flocculation was divided into different stages. The relations between fractal dimension and energy consumption distribution can be obtained by calculated the fractal dimension of different stages. The stirring speed can be controlled and the flocs can be prevented from being broken by observing the flocs.
