ARRANGEMENT FOR THE FLOCCULATION OF FLOCCULABLE SUBSTANCES, PARTICULARLY FOR THE PURIFICATION OF EFFLUENTS FROM DEINKING INSTALLATIONS FOR USED PAPER PROCESSING

摘要

An arrangement for the separation by flocculation of flocculable substances contained in a suspension used particularly for purifying effluents from deinking installations where are processed used or waste paper, comprises a container (4) supplied by a conduit (2) with a suspension coming from a tank (1) and mixed with flocculating agents and with air. The container (4) contains a vertical shaft rotor (34) from which two arms (35, 36) extend outwardly at different heights. The suspension to be purified is introduced above the shaft (34) and the upper arm (36), and purified water is drawn above the lower arm (35) which forms with the upper arm an acute angle so that it precedes the latter during the rotation thereof. The supernatent substances are optionally removed from the surface by a transportation device (40) in the form of supernatent muds (8) and evacuated through a mud conduit (42).
