<p>The concentration of solids dissolved or suspended in a liquid is reduced when a reagent and kinetic energy are added to the solution. Kinetc energy can be added by turbulent flow in a recirculation device. Separation of solids from the solution is particularly promoted when the recirculated liquid stream is directed into the region of intersection of intersecting or colliding vortices within a vessel containing the subject liquid. Such intersecting vortices can be established by withdrawing a liquid stream through one or more appropriately positioned ports in the vessel. Solutions can be industrial, medical, agricultural and municipal wastes and naturally occurring waters in need of cleaning.</p> |
