Abstract:
A sand sedimentation tank (10) is provided, the tank (10) comprises a tank body (11), an inlet (12) and an outlet (13), wherein the tank body (11) comprises side walls (14) and a bottom (15), the outlet is arranged in a side wall (11), and the bottom (15) has at least one raised part (16) and/or at least one recessed part (17). A sand separator is further provided, the separator comprises a grading unit (30), a particle collector unit (40), and the sand sedimentation tank (10) connected in series. A method for separating mixture of solid particles is further provided. The solid particles comprise first solid particles and second solid particles, wherein, the density of the first solid particles is lower than the density of the second solid particles; the method comprises: forcing the mixture of solid particles to flow with a solvent, making the second solid particles deposit in the flow process to form a layer (22) of the second solid particles, and forcing the first solid particles to continue flowing with the solvent, wherein, the density of the second solid particles is higher than the density of the solvent.
Abstract:
A method for treating the waste liquor resulted from ethanol production through cassava fermentation is provided The method comprises the steps of (1) introducing water-soluble ester of alginic acid and/or water-soluble salt of alginic acid into the waste liquor, and subjecting the waste liquor to solid-liquid separation to obtain solid production and liquid production, and (2) subjecting the liquid production obtained in step (1) to the waste water treatment The method can significantly reduce the time for solid-liquid separation, and enormously increase the treatment capacity of waste liquor in unit time without adding extra equipments, thereby, the method resolves the technical difficulty resulting in low load of the equipments used in producing ethanol through cassava fermentation, and enormously increase the production capacity of the equipments for producing ethanol.
Abstract:
Provided is a method for preparing citric acid comprising the following steps: (1) contacting and reacting the fermentation liquid of citric acid with calcium carbonate and/or calcium hydroxide under the condition that the citric acid in the fermentation liquid can be converted into calcium hydrogen citrate, and subjecting the obtained slurry to a solid-liquid separation to obtain solid calcium hydrogen citrate and a first liquid phase; (2) subjecting the solid calcium hydrogen citrate obtained in step (1) to acidolysis to obtain citric acid; (3) contacting and reacting the first liquid phase obtained in step (1) with calcium carbonate and/or calcium hydroxide under the condition that the calcium hydrogen citrate dissolved in the first liquid phase can be converted into calcium citrate, subjecting the obtained slurry to a solid-liquid separation to obtain solid calcium citrate, and recycling the solid calcium citrate to step (1).
