Treatment of the Combined Sludges of Machine Factories

AbstractThe article presents the basic characteristics of composition and formation of combined sludges of steel mills, machine and metalworking factories. The principal issues of use of flocculants in dewatering of combined sludges of industrial wastewaters are stated. The article dwells upon the issues of a flocculant selection for treatment of industrial wastewaters of machine factories, and creation of optimal conditions for flocculation sludges processing. The problems of handling and disposal of sludges produced by industrial wastewaters treatment facilities are considered. The main purpose of this research is assessment of the possibility of advanced flocculation technique application for the treatment of combined sludges
