Abstract (en)

[origin: FR2768429A1] Removing ammonia, nitrogen and phosphate by spraying alkaline effluent through an air stream by mixing with quick lime to bring pH between 8.5 - 13. Ammonia is completely stripped from the liquid into the gas phase by recirculating through a series of cyclone sprays.- DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Effluent for treatment is first mixed with up to 1000 g/l quick lime (Ca(OH)2), either as a powder, paste or liquid, to bring its pH up to between 8.5 and 13. Alkaline effluent is then recirculated between 1 and 50 times through a series of cyclone sprays (4, 6) in an air stream, which strips out ammonia from the liquid into the gas phase. Entrained liquid is removed form the air stream before discharge and possibly further treatment in a droplet remover (9)
