Abstract:
Considering the difficulty in deep dewatering of dredged sediment in Haihe River in Guandu District,we carry out experiments on flocculation concentration combined with plate-and-frame filtration. Specifically,three flocculants,namely,anionic polyacrylamide(APAM,with a molecular weight of 1 500),cationic polyacrylamide(CPAM,with a molecular weight of 800),and non-ionic polyacrylamide(NPAM,with a molecular weight of 900),are used for flocculation concentration. Then,we perform pressure filtration tests on the two kinds of selected concentrated slurry separately by a diaphragm plate-and-frame filter press. Next,we use the KD20 plates to fill the slurry chamber(with a thickness of 200 mm),with continuous feeding of 10 min at the extrusion pressure of 0.8 MPa. Finally,the optimal flocculant is selected according to the plate-and-frame filtration results. The test results reveal that for the dredged sediment with a high organic content,CPAM with a molecular weight of 15 million and a degree of hydrolysis of 14% has a better flocculation effect,and upon concentration,the dewatering effect and effluent quality of the plate-and-frame filtration of slurry are better. The pressure time is 30 min,and the water content of the mud cake can be reduced to below 40%.
