System and reactor for mixing coagulating agents into a contaminated water flow, and for removing contaminants therefrom

摘要: An improved system and a novel vessel method for treating contaminated liquids, e.g., aqueous effluent streams, with variety of contaminants. The comprises upper lower mixing chambers connected by an intermediate tubular section fluid exit tube running coaxially down the center portion. stream to be treated flows in spiral pattern generally upwardly entering at its end flowing downwardly exit. A magnetic field may induced flow stream. Streams ionized coagulant are combined prior entry into subjected very turbulent field, encourage both thorough coalescing treated. Magnetite particles additionally added further coagulation presence field. After exiting chamber, coagulated contaminants removed using known adsorption, absorption, filtration steps.
