Application of Pipe Flocculator and Cross-Flow Tilted Plate Settler for Effective Separation of Precipitate from Electroplating Wastewater

During a research program, the flocculation and settling of suspended solids in electroplating wastewater were tested. The experimental unit comprised a pipe flocculator and a cross-flow tilted plate settler. The experiment showed high efficiency of the system at short flocculation and settling times: τf = 50 s and τc = 11 min., respectively.
