Abstract:

The online preparation and coagulation of magnetic Fe3O4 nanocrystallines were realized by electrochemical method with iron and carbon fiber as electrode. The product was characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscope(SEM). The results show that the Fe3O4 nanocrystallines have uniform crystallite size, but with particle size between 30 nm and 100 nm. The coagulation study of high turbidity kaolin suspension was carried out, and the separation between flocculation and water was realized under the action of magnetic field. The results confirm that the electrochemically magnetic coagulation technology can quickly and efficiently get rid of the turbidity without mechanical filtration. Theoretical research results show that the electrochemical method can control the Fe3O4 types of surface charge, thus improve the effect of charge neutralization in water. The process of removing turbidity was due to the combination of charge neutra-lization and precipitation sweep process.
