VERFAHREN UND VORRICHTUNG ZUR REINIGUNG UND AUFBEREITUNG VON IN DER HÜTTENINDUSTRIE BENUTZTEN KÜHL- UND/ODER SCHMIERMITTELN

摘要

The process cleans and recovers fluids contaminated with metallic and other materials, which are used for cooling and/or lubrication. It is especially suitable for separating scale from plant water used in cooling circuits in the iron and steel industry. To clean it, the dirty fluid is passed through spaces between parallel plates in a vessel. In the process, the horizontal plates (4) are moved e.g. upwardly. Forces of sedimentation and magnetism remove the particles onto the plates. They are then removed from the upper surfaces (4a) of the plates. Also claimed is the apparatus for the above process, in which the upper side of the plates is partly or fully magnetic, the underside (4b) being non-magnetic.
