APPARATUS FOR AND METHOD OF SEPARATION TO WATER AND COLLOIDAL PARTICLES BY AGGLOMERATION

摘要

An apparatus for separating an aqueous colloidal solution into water and agglomerated colloidal particles by applying a high frequency voltage to the aqueous colloidal solution comprises a tank accommodating the aqueous colloidal solution, and at least one pair of electrodes disposed in the tank. The electrodes are configured such that lines of electric force are locally concentrated when the voltage is applied to said solution. The advantage is improved efficiency and reduced current usage.
