Treatment of cooling water in the glass industry

The treatment of cooling water containing glass from glass manufacturing plants has been studied in order to remove the fine particles of glass in suspension by flocculation, sedimentation and filtration. The treatment process proposed allows the recycling of these waters; it may suggest a more effi...

Description
Summary:The treatment of cooling water containing glass from glass manufacturing plants has been studied in order to remove the fine particles of glass in suspension by flocculation, sedimentation and filtration. The treatment process proposed allows the recycling of these waters; it may suggest a more efficient management and use of water in the glass industry. Among the different types of additives investigated, a particular type of polyacrylamide has shown the best results, both in the capacity for clarification and sedimentation of the fine suspended particles, and in the feasibility of the filtration process.
