DEWATERING OF AQUEOUS SUSPENSIONS.

摘要

A suspension which is preferably an ink-containing waste suspension recovered from a paper deinking process is flocculated by a cationic polymeric flocculant, and the flocculated material is then aggregated by an anionic colloidal material mixed into the flocculated suspension, optionally further cationic flocculant is added, and the aggregated material is then separated from the suspension by belt press or other pressure filtration.
