Study on Preparation of Iron-Based Flocculant by Hydrogen Peroxide Oxidation Process

Article Preview

Abstract:

Coagulation-flocculation process as an important water treatment technology has been widely used in the water treatment plant. The technology has been applied to the wastewater treatment, in general, by addition of a certain amount of chemical into the aquatic environment to make colloids destabilization and aggregation based on neutralization and adsorption bridging role. The conventional aluminum-based coagulant has been extensively studied. As a viable opinion, iron-based coagulant has attracted a wide attention. The objective of this research was aimed to investigate the preparation process of the iron-based coagulant using hydrogen peroxide as oxidizing agent. Parameters such sulfate dosage and hydrogen peroxide were analyzed. The results showed that a flocculant with the total iron mass percentage of 9.47 % and density of 1.43 g/mL was obtained. The flocculation test showed better performance.
