ABSTRACT:
An effective and efficient process and apparatus for treating a mother liquor including therein both suspended and dissolved impurities, and in particular, metal hydroxides, metal oxides and phosphate ions, at a concentration of less than 10 g/l, are provided. The process comprises admixing at least 0.5 ppm of an organic high molecular weight flocculating agent and after an interval at least 10 ppm of an inorganic metal salt flocculating agent therewith, subjecting the admixture to rotational flow to form a particulate layer of solids and simultaneously therewith, agitating the admixture, while maintaining the suspension liquor at a solids concentration of at least 10 g/l, and concurrently upwardly directing the suspension so that it flows through the agitated particulate layer and thereby intimately contacting flowing particles thereof for separating the particles from the treated mother liquor. A preliminary treatment removes dissolved matter including phosphate ions, and a clarified effluent results.
