Flocculation
• is a process of forming aggregate of flocs to form larger settleable particle. The process can be described as follows:
Mutual collision of small floc resulting in bigger size.
Usually slow speed or gentle mixing is used so as not to break the large flocs due to shear.
Polymer or large molecular wt compound is added to enhance floc build up. Most of them are proprietary chemicals.

Differences
• Coagulation: is a chemical technique which is directed towards the destabilisation of the charged colloidal particals.
• Flocculation: is the slow mixing technique which promotes the agglomeration of the stabilised particles.

CHEMICAL PRECIPITATION(Types of Precipitation)
Heavy metals removal• Hydroxide precipitation (OH-)• Sulphide precipitation (S2-)
• Carbonate precipitation (CO32-)
Phosphorus removal
• Phosphate precipitation (PO42-)
![Page 25: SAB 4973: HAZARDOUS WASTE TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062217/5681494c550346895db69b31/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
CHEMICAL PRECIPITATION(Hydroxide Precipitation)
• Add lime (CaO) or sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to waste stream to precipitate heavy metals in the form of metal hydroxides.
Cd2+ + Ca(OH)2 Cd (OH)2 + Ca2+
• CaO in the form of slurry (Ca(OH)2) while NaOH in the form of solution.
• NaOH is easier to handle but is very corrosive.
• Will form floc and settle in clarifier
![Page 26: SAB 4973: HAZARDOUS WASTE TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062217/5681494c550346895db69b31/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
CHEMICAL PRECIPITATION(Sulphide Precipitation)
• Use of sulphide in the form of FeS, Na2S or NaHS
• Better metal removal as sulphide salt has low solubility limit
Cu2+ + FeS CuS + Fe2+
• Limitation: can produce H2S (g) at low pH
2H+ + FeS H2S + Fe2+
• At low pH, reaction will proceed to the right. Thus, require pH > 8 for safe sulphide precipitation.

Reaction rate
• Reaction rate is a measure of how fast a reaction occurs, or how something changes during a given time period.
• Consider the oxidation of glucose, C6H12O6 :
C6H12O6(s) + 6 O2(g) → 6 CO2(g) + 6 H2O(g)
• One of the things that happens during this reaction is simply that glucose gets used up as it reacts with oxygen in the air, and carbon dioxide and water start to form.
![Page 29: SAB 4973: HAZARDOUS WASTE TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062217/5681494c550346895db69b31/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
• A common measure of reaction rate is to express how the concentration of a reaction participant changes over time. It could be how the concentration of a reactant decreases, or how the concentration of a product increases. This is the standard method we will be using.
• Now that we have something that changes to measure, we must consider the second key aspect of determining rate - time. Rate is a measure of how something changes over time.
Change in concentrationChange in time
![Page 30: SAB 4973: HAZARDOUS WASTE TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062217/5681494c550346895db69b31/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Chemistry Notation
• In chemistry, we typically represent concentration by using square brackets around the chemical formula of the substance. For example to indicate the concentration of SO2(g) in the following reaction we would write it as [SO2].
• Also, the delta symbol, Δ is used to indicate a change. ΔT, for example, means "the change in temperature."
• Therefore, if we wanted to express the rate of the following reaction:
SO2(g) + NO2(g) → SO3(g) + NO(g)
![Page 31: SAB 4973: HAZARDOUS WASTE TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062217/5681494c550346895db69b31/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
• Let's try an example of calculating a reaction rate. Consider the following reaction:
A → B• The following data were obtained for how the
concentration of these substances changed during the experiment.
Time A B (min) mol/L mol/L 0.0 1.000 0.000 3.0 0.400 0.600 6.0 0.250 0.750
![Page 32: SAB 4973: HAZARDOUS WASTE TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062217/5681494c550346895db69b31/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
We could measure the rate of the reaction either by measuring how the concentration of reactant A changes or how the concentration of product B changes. Let's measure A's average rate of change first:
Compare this rate to the rate of just the first three minutes of the reaction:
If we calculate the average rate based on the production of product B:
![Page 33: SAB 4973: HAZARDOUS WASTE TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062217/5681494c550346895db69b31/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Factors that Affect the Chemical Reaction Rate
• Concentration of Reactants A higher concentration of reactants leads to more
effective collisions per unit time, which leads to an increasing reaction rate (except for zero order reactions).
• TemperatureUsually, an increase in temperature is
accompanied by an increase in the reaction rate. Temperature is a measure of the kinetic energy of a system, so higher temperature implies higher average kinetic energy of molecules and more collisions per unit time.
![Page 34: SAB 4973: HAZARDOUS WASTE TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062217/5681494c550346895db69b31/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Factors that Affect the Chemical Reaction Rate
• Medium The rate of a chemical reaction depends on the medium
in which the reaction occurs. It may make a difference whether a medium is aqueous or organic; polar or nonpolar; or liquid, solid, or gaseous.
• Presence of Catalysts and Competitors Catalysts (e.g., enzymes) lower the activation energy of
a chemical reaction and increase the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed in the process. Catalysts work by increasing the frequency of collisions between reactants, altering the orientation of reactants so that more collisions are effective, reducing intramolecular bonding within reactant molecules, or donating electron density to the reactants.
![Page 35: SAB 4973: HAZARDOUS WASTE TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062217/5681494c550346895db69b31/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
OXIDATION
a method by which wastewater is treated by using oxidizing agents.
Generally, two forms viz. • Chemical oxidation and• UV assisted oxidation using chlorine,
hydrogen peroxide, fenton’s reagent, ozone, or potassium permanganate are used for treating the effluents, especially those obtained from primary treatment (sedimentation)
![Page 36: SAB 4973: HAZARDOUS WASTE TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062217/5681494c550346895db69b31/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

OXIDATION STATES (OXIDATION NUMBERS)
• Oxidation state shows the total number of electrons which have been removed from an element (a positive oxidation state) or added to an element (a negative oxidation state) to get to its present state. – Oxidation involves an increase in
oxidation state– Reduction involves a decrease in
oxidation state
![Page 40: SAB 4973: HAZARDOUS WASTE TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062217/5681494c550346895db69b31/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Some elements almost always have the same oxidation states in
their compounds:
• Group 1 metals : always +1 • Group 2 metals : always +2 • Oxygen : usually -2 except in peroxides
and F2O • Hydrogen : usually +1 except in metal
hydrides where it is -1 • Fluorine : always -1 • Chlorine : usually -1 except in
compounds with O or F
![Page 41: SAB 4973: HAZARDOUS WASTE TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062217/5681494c550346895db69b31/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

Example 1:
• This is the reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid or hydrogen chloride gas: Mg + 2HCl MgCl2 + H2
0 +1 -1 +2 -1 0
• The magnesium's oxidation state has increased - it has been oxidised. The hydrogen's oxidation state has fallen - it has been reduced. The chlorine is in the same oxidation state on both sides of the equation - it hasn't been oxidised or reduced.

Hydrogen peroxide
• In acidic solutions H2O2 is one of the most powerful oxidizers known—stronger than chlorine, chlorine dioxide, and potassium permanganate.
• Also, through catalysis, H2O2 can be converted into hydroxyl radicals (.OH), which are highly reactive.
• H2 + O2 → H2O2
• It is used as a disinfectant, antiseptic, oxidizer, propellant in rocket. Hydrogen peroxide is naturally produced in organisms as a by-product of oxidative metabolism. Nearly all living things (specifically, all obligate and facultative aerobes) possess enzymes known as peroxidase.

Nitric acid
• Nitric acid is made by reacting nitrogen dioxide (NO2) with water.
– 3 NO2 + H2O → 2 HNO3 + NO
• Nitric acid reacts with most metals. 3 Cu + 8 HNO2 → 3 Cu2+ + 2 NO + 4 H2O + 6

ION EXCHANGE
• DefinitionIon exchange is basically a reversible chemical
process wherein an ion from solution is exchanged for a similarly charged ion attached to an immobile solid particle.
Removal of undesirable anions and cations from solution through the use of ion exchange resin
• Applications– Water softening – Removal of non-metal inorganic– Removal or recovery of metal
![Page 50: SAB 4973: HAZARDOUS WASTE TREATMENT TECHNOLOGIES](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062217/5681494c550346895db69b31/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
ION EXCHANGE(Medium - resin)
• Consists of an organic or inorganic network structure with attached functional group
• Synthetic resin made by the polymerisation of organic compounds into a porous three dimensional structure
• Exchange capacity is determined by the number of functional groups per unit mass of resin

ION EXCHANGE(Exchange Reactions)
• Cation exchange on the sodium cycle:
Na2 · R + Ca2+ Ca · R + 2Na+
where R represents the exchange resin. When all exchange sites are substantially replaced with calcium, resin is regenerated by passing a concentrated solution of sodium ions (5-10%) through the bed:
2Na+ + Ca · R Na2 · R + Ca2+

SO42- + R · (OH)2 R · SO4 + 2OH-
where R represents the exchange resin. When all exchange sites are substantially replaced with sulphate, resin is regenerated by passing a concentrated solution of hydroxide ions (5-10%) through the bed:
R · SO4 + 2OH- SO42- + R · (OH)2

Ion exchange-electrochemistry
• During redox reactions, electrons pass from one substance to another. Electrochemistry is the branch of chemistry that deals with the conversion between chemical and electrical energy.
• The fact that different substances are oxidized more readily than others is the driving force behind electrochemical cells, and it is this force that forces electrons through the external circuit from the anode (site of oxidation) to the cathode (site of reduction). This force is known as the potential difference or electromotive force (emf or E). Potential difference is measured in volts (V), and thus is also referred to as the voltage of the cell. Voltage is a measure of the tendency of electrons to flow. The higher the voltage, the greater the tendency for electrons to flow from the anode to the cathode.
