    "COMPOSITIONS FOR THE CONDITIONING OF SLUDGE"
    The present invention relates to a sludge treatment composition comprising a mineral compound and an organic compound.
    Such compositions are known in particular from EP 0 104 904 (US 4,711,727) which discloses the use of various inorganic compounds, in combination with various organic polymers. However, according to the teaching of this document, the organic polymer has a dispersing action for producing concentrated suspensions of inorganic compounds having an acceptable viscosity for pumping the aforesaid composition.
    US 4,675,114 further discloses a method of treating sludge by sequentially adding a mineral compound and an organic compound among multiple successive steps.
    Cities, especially large metropolises, and industries, produce or reject very large volumes of wastewater. The treatment of these waters, before their rejection in the natural environment, results in the formation of very large quantities of sludge. A mechanical dehydration step is generally necessary in order to minimize the volume occupied by the sludge, regardless of their origin, and to increase their dryness before agricultural recovery or by incineration or composting or before disposal by storage. discharge. This dehydration, ie the solid / liquid separation, is carried out in most cases by means of a band filter, a filter press or a centrifugal decanter which most often combine a chemical conditioning applied upstream of a mechanical action. In addition to reducing the volume, the purpose of this treatment is to facilitate the handling, transport and storage of these sludges.
    The present invention particularly relates to the conditioning of sludge with a mineral and organic compound. For the purposes of the invention, the term "sludge" means a residue having a solids content of at least 0.5%, often greater than or equal to 1%. The sludge can be mineral or organic or oily.
    The concept of conditioning, in particular of chemical conditioning, must be understood in the sense of the present invention as defined by Degrémont in "Memento Technique de l'eau, Edition du Cinquantenaire 1989, 9th edition" in chapter 19, in particular on pages 949 at 959.
    In order for the sludge to be filterable, it is first necessary to break the colloidal cohesion of the sludge and artificially increase the size of the particles that constitute it. This is the object of conditioning. Proper conditioning of the sludge is the basis for the proper functioning of the dewatering workshop. The packaging should therefore be optimized to be adapted to both the nature of the sludge to be treated but also the type of dehydration tool.
    Sludge conditioning is therefore in fact a treatment in which the characteristics of the sludge are modified to facilitate the separation of the solid phase and the liquid phase.
    In contrast to a water treatment process (see, for example, US Pat. No. 4,711,727), the principle of which consists in causing, by the addition of flocculant and / or coagulant, the agglomeration and decantation of the colloidal particles, the conditioning of the sludge is intended to prepare the latter to allow the proper functioning of mechanical dewatering equipment by eliminating the problems of creep, clogging of fabrics and gluing cakes. Sludge conditioning therefore consists of a particular application of coagulation-flocculation. It aims to increase its dryness (dry matter content) by accelerating the solid / liquid separation.
    Moreover, the document US 4,711,727 discloses the joint use of mineral suspensions that may contain lime and, indifferently, flocculant and / or coagulant, to flocculate wastewater, loaded to about 300 mg / l (0.03%) of suspended material and teaches in particular to carry out prior dilutions of the aforementioned inorganic suspensions.
    Three technologies are most commonly used as mechanical dewatering systems in sludge plants.
    Pressure band filters
    On this type of filter, the conditioned sludge is first drained and then compressed between two filter cloths. The system of advancement and compression of the cloths is provided by rollers. This type of tool requires a consistent floc and well dissociated, promoting rapid release of water during the dewatering step.
    Centrifugal decanters or centrifuges
    These systems use centrifugal force to generate accelerated settling. A good separation will involve forming a bulky, heavy, shear-resistant floc.
    Filter presses (or plate filters)
    Unlike previous systems, this tool runs in batch mode. A filter press consists of trays covered with filter cloths arranged in battery, chambered and / or membrane. The rooms arranged between each tray are fed with conditioned sludge via a pump. This mud pump feeds the chambers (feeding operation) until a high pressure is obtained, generally between 10 and 15 bars. At the end of the cycle, the trays are separated in order to evacuate the cakes formed ("disintegration"). It is highly desirable that the cakes thus formed remain relatively firm and, above all, are well peeled off from the plates and webs; if not, manual intervention and cleaning and washing are necessary. In the case of the filter press, we will seek a robust packaging constraints (including pressure).
    Among the various chemical packaging intended to prepare the sludge, there are in particular organic packaging and mineral conditioning.
    So-called organic packaging: use of organic polymer as sole flocculant (dosage-type 2 at 20 kg per tonne of dry matter). Only long-chain synthetic polyelectrolytes (high molecular weight, especially based on acrylamide) are effective; they form voluminous and well-differentiated flocs in clarified interstitial water. This packaging is mainly used during dehydration on a centrifuge and press belt filter. It is little used during mechanical dewatering by pressure filtration (mechanized filter press) because it leads to a longer pressing time, because of the high specific resistance, frequent washing of the fabrics and a less good detachment of the cake.
    So-called mineral packaging: joint use of an iron or aluminum salt, such as ferric chloride (typical dosage: 3 to 10% by weight relative to the treated dry matter) and lime (standard dosage: 10 to 40% by weight relative to the treated solids). This mode of conditioning produces a fine flock but very robust to the constraints; it will therefore be particularly suitable for filter filtration press. However, the use of iron salts is not without problems of exploitation such as: corrosion of pipes and filters in steel or cast iron, presence of chlorides in a high proportion, presence of iron which, during incineration sludge, is at the origin of the production of clinker, risk of burns for the staff.
    There are also mixed packaging (mineral and organic) to optimize dehydration performance.
    As can be seen, all of the above packaging methods have disadvantages. Organic packaging is not best suited to some dewatering systems such as filter presses; the other packages mentioned include the use of iron salts which pose the many problems mentioned above.
    Still another possibility of mixed packaging is disclosed in EP 1,154,958. The disclosed method teaches the addition of lime to industrial sludge, chosen to prevent the pH of the sludge to which the lime has been added from rising. too fast. The method also provides the addition of flocculant organic long chain components (anionic, cationic or nonionic, indifferently) to facilitate flocculation of the sludge thus treated. Since the pH of the sludge increases in a controlled manner, the flocculant organic component can exert its flocculating activity without being degraded by a too rapid increase in pH.
    In WO2008 / 058973, a process for the treatment of sludge with lime is described, according to which an anionic organic flocculant is added to the sludge, since the cationic polymers generally degrade rapidly from a pH equal to 9 or 10. Since the anionic flocculant exhibits an optimum of activity at pH values above 10 to 12, it is therefore preferable to carry out a rapid pH rise which is perfectly possible for the addition of lime to the sludge.
    Whatever the mode of conditioning and the reagents involved, a good conditioning of the sludge requires the control of coagulation / flocculation mechanisms, the objective being to allow the good dispersion of the reagents in the sludge without destructuring the flocculated sludge. Particular care must therefore be taken with the integration of the reagents (mode and order of integration), the contact and maturation times and the stresses applied on the flocculated sludge.
    Obtaining good results frequently requires, inter alia: the preparation of the reagents (dissolution of the polymer (s), manufacture of milk of lime) to promote their dispersion and increase their effectiveness in conditioning the sludge; - tanks of successive packaging - and / or online mixers.
    The order of injection of the reagents (ferric chloride must be added before lime and polymer often last) and certain interactions between reagents (risk of flocculation of lime by the polymer) can also be critical.
    Therefore, as can be seen, the existing sludge conditioning reagents all have laborious constraints such as taking into account the order of addition of the reagents, the instability of the components if added together, requiring isolation (storage , separate feed) and / or addition precautions or the selection of specific lime, such as for example to give the mud optimum properties so that the polymer can have its flocculant action.
    The present invention aims to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks of the prior art during sludge conditioning before dewatering, offering a simple, safe and effective solution to the problems previously encountered. Simple by reducing operations (reducing compound storage costs, reducing implementation costs); safe by the absence or the limitation of the use of iron salts and effective, in particular by obtaining resistant flocs, compatible with the use of filter-presses thus allowing a high filtration efficiency (increase of the dryness (content in dry matter) of the cake obtained, acceleration of the solid / liquid mechanical separation step and reduction of the problems of creep, clogging of the cloths and pasting of the cakes).
    According to the invention, it has surprisingly been found that a composition characterized in that said mineral compound is lime and in that said organic compound is a cationic organic coagulant having a weight average molecular weight less than or equal to 5 million g / mol, advantageously less than or equal to 3 million g / mol and greater than or equal to 20,000 g / mol, advantageously greater than or equal to 50,000 g / mol, in particular greater than or equal to 200,000 g / mol, preferentially greater than or equal to 500,000 g / mol, said cationic organic coagulant being chosen from the group of linear or branched polymers based on diallyldialkyl ammonium salts, makes it possible to carry out optimum sludge conditioning before they undergo an operation mechanical dehydration. This conditioning is characterized by a simplification of the implementation, while allowing an improvement in filtration performance.
    Indeed, according to the present invention, it has surprisingly been found that the combination of a particular mineral compound with a particular organic polymer in a composition allows a use for the treatment of sludge, and more particularly for sludge conditioning. , especially urban and industrial, before they undergo a mechanical dewatering operation, that is to say a composition that is on the one hand stable and homogeneous to facilitate its storage and use and that allows other to reduce implementation costs, while achieving a high filtration efficiency. The composition according to the invention therefore makes it possible in particular to increase the dryness (dry matter content) of the cake obtained during the solid / liquid mechanical separation step.
    For the purposes of the invention, a coagulant is a compound which makes it possible to destabilize the constituents present in a given water or sludge and therefore the formation of microflocs, unlike a flocculant which makes it possible to agglomerate into aggregates the particles formed during destabilization.
    During coagulation with a cationic coagulant, that is to say positively charged, there will be a phenomenon of balancing the charges of the particles in the sludge (negatively charged). In fact, in general, the particles in the sludge carrying a negative charge will see their charges be counterbalanced by the positive charges of the cationic coagulants. The cationic coagulants will interact with several particles of the sludge and thus form microflocs.
    The present invention therefore relates to compositions comprising both lime and at least one polymer, also called cationic organic coagulant based on diallyldialkyl ammonium salts for conditioning the sludge before dehydration.
    Preferably, the compositions according to the invention are previously manufactured and delivered in the form of a homogeneous and stable mixture of the at least one coagulant and lime, before being introduced simultaneously for sludge conditioning.
    Such prior industrial manufacture of the compositions according to the invention is made possible thanks to the good stability over time of the mixture, in the form of powder or liquid; the compositions can therefore be stored for several weeks before use, without risk of altering their effectiveness for sludge packaging, as shown in Examples 3, 4 and 6 below.
    As mentioned above, the addition of lime results in a high pH which in most cases causes inactivation or destruction by alkaline hydrolysis of the organic polymers in mixed use. In addition, the presence of lime and organic polymer can lead to consumption of the latter to flocculate lime, which is unnecessary and makes the polymer unavailable (see Example 1). Those skilled in the art are therefore not encouraged to use this type of polymer together with lime, in particular in the form of a real composition (mixture), to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art for sludge conditioning. .
    In addition, there is no reason to believe that a simple combination comprising both lime and at least one organic coagulant for conditioning the sludge may be sufficient, at the exit of the mechanical dehydration step, to obtain resistant flocs. and a degree of dryness greater than that achieved by the implementation of conventional methods and to allow energy savings and / or conditioning agents (coagulant, lime), as shown in Example 5.
    Advantageously, said cationic organic coagulant has a cationic charge greater than or equal to 4, preferably greater than or equal to 4.5 and in particular greater than or equal to 5 meq / g, the cationic charge advantageously being less than or equal to 10, preferably less than or equal to 9 meq / g, in particular less than or equal to 7.5 meq / g
    Advantageously, said polymer based on diallyldialkyl ammonium salts is a polymer based on compounds of general formula:
    Wherein X 'represents a halide or other counterion of negative charge,
    R 1 and R 2 are, independently of each other, a hydrogen atom or a C 1 -C 10 alkyl chain.
    In an advantageous embodiment, said polymer is a diallyl dimethyl ammonium chloride-based polymer, also called DADMAC.
    Said linear or branched polymer based on diallyldialkyl ammonium salts may be a copolymer and comprise one or more other monomers selected from the group consisting of nonionic monomers, such as acrylamide, methacrylamide, N-vinyl pyrrolidone, vinylacetate , vinyl alcohol, acrylate esters, allyl alcohol, N-vinyl acetamide or N-vinylformamide, and cationic monomers such as dialkylaminoalkyl (meth) acrylate, dialkylaminoalkyl (meth) acrylamide, their salts of quaternary ammonium or their acid salts such as, for example, dimethylaminoethyl acrylate (ADAME), dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (MADAME), quaternized or salified, acrylamidopropyltrimethylammonium chloride (APTAC) and methacrylamidopropyltrimethylammonium chloride (MAPTAC).
    In a variant according to the invention, said cationic organic coagulant comprises, in combination with the cationic charges, anionic charges borne by anionic monomers, such as, for example, (meth) acrylic acid, acrylamidomethylpropanesulfonic acid, itaconic acid, maleic anhydride, maleic acid, vinylsulfonic acid, methallyl sulfonic acid and their salts. In this way, said organic coagulant may be very slightly amphoteric in nature.
    This polymer does not require the development of a particular polymerization process. It can be obtained by any of the polymerization techniques well known to those skilled in the art: gel polymerization, precipitation polymerization, emulsion polymerization (aqueous or inverse) followed or not by a distillation step, suspension polymerization, solution, these polymerizations being followed or not a step for isolating a dry form of the (co) polymer by all types of means well known to those skilled in the art.
    Advantageously, in the composition according to the invention, said cationic organic coagulant is present in an amount ranging from 3 g to 100 g (expressed as active material, ie in polymer), preferably from 5 to 80 g and more preferably from 10 to 100 g. at 65 g for 1 kg of lime (expressed in equivalent of slaked lime Ca (OH) 2).
    In a preferred embodiment of the invention, said lime is slaked lime and / or quicklime, both in pulverulent form, and wherein said cationic organic coagulant is also in solid form.
    In a variant according to the invention, said lime is lime in the form of milk of lime and forms with said cationic organic coagulant a stable suspension. The size of the lime particles is not critical. They will generally be predominantly (greater than 90%) larger than 0.5 μm and mostly smaller than 2 mm or even 1 mm, preferably less than 500 μm.
    Lime means a mineral solid whose chemical composition is mainly calcium oxide CaO. Quicklime is commonly obtained by calcareous firing, mainly consisting of CaCO3, of which there may be a few percent in lime. The quicklime may also contain impurities such as magnesium oxide MgO, silica SiO 2, silicates or Al 2 O 3 alumina, or even a hydration retarding agent, up to a few percent. It is understood that the impurities are expressed in the aforementioned forms but may actually appear in different phases.
    By slaked lime or hydrated lime, is meant a set of solid particles, mainly in the form of calcium hydroxide Ca (OH) 2, obtained by "quenching", sometimes called "hydration", of quicklime with water. This slaked lime can obviously contain the aforementioned impurities, derived from quicklime.
    The slaked lime can be in pulverulent form or in the form of suspension.
    Milk of lime means an aqueous suspension, made from quicklime or hydrated lime. The liquid embodiments of the composition according to the invention are made from lime milks.
    As mentioned above, the cationic organic coagulant used may also be branched or crosslinked preferably during (and / or possibly after) the polymerization, in the presence of a branching agent and optionally a transfer agent.
    Other embodiments of the composition according to the invention are indicated in the appended claims.
    The invention also relates to a use of the aforesaid composition for sludge conditioning
    In addition, the invention relates to a use of the aforesaid composition for precalculating sludge.
    The term "pre-liming" is understood to mean the addition of calcium compound to a sludge before dehydration.
    Other embodiments of the use according to the invention are indicated in the appended claims.
    The invention also relates to a sludge dewatering process, comprising - an addition of a composition as described above, to sludge, in particular urban or industrial sludge to be treated, before dehydration of the latter, - a conditioning of said sludge to which said composition has been added, - a solid / liquid separation of the conditioned sludge and - a collection of the solid resulting from said separation. In particular, according to the invention, said filtration is carried out by means of a band filter, a filter press or a centrifugal decanter, preferably a filter press.
    Generally, the dryness of the solid resulting from the dehydration is in the range from 10% to 80%, especially from 10% to 50%, in particular from 20% to 50% by weight.
    In general, the composition according to the invention will be added to the sludge with a dosage which corresponds to liming rates (expressed as Ca (OH) 2) of 5% to 100%, in particular of 10% to 80%, in particular from 15% to 60% relative to the dry matter of the sludge.
    Other embodiments of the process according to the invention are indicated in the appended claims.
    Other features, details and advantages of the invention will emerge from the description given below, without limitation and with reference to examples.
    The cationic organic coagulants according to the invention used have a weight average molecular weight of less than 5 million g / mol and greater than or equal to 20 000 g / mol, preferably a weight average molecular weight of less than 3 million g / mol and greater or equal to 50,000 g / mol.
    Preferably, the organic coagulants within the meaning of the invention have a cationic charge greater than or equal to 4 meq / g, in particular 4.5 meq / g, advantageously greater than or equal to 5 meq / g and less than or equal to 10, preferably less than or equal to 9 meq / g, in particular less than or equal to 7.5 meq / g
    These characteristics of "coagulants" distinguish them from cationic organic polymers, often referred to as "flocculants", which have weight average molecular weights often well above 5 million g / mol and which are said to be long-chain. Their so-called long chain allows them to bridge other molecules, which gives them their flocculent character.
    Likewise, these characteristics of "coagulants" distinguish them from dispersing organic polymers which generally have an anionic charge (in any case when used in association with lime) and which are intended to allow the dispersion of a substance or a particle within a liquid in which it is not soluble. The dispersing nature is mainly due to the repulsion between the charges carried by the dispersant (negative) and the particles of the sludge (also negative) which prevents any agglomeration and maintains the dispersion between particles.
    By their nature, the coagulants allow a destabilization of the particles (colloids) in suspension by neutralizing their charge (cancellation of the ZETA potential) in comparison with the flocculants which form real bridges between particles to make flocs, namely agglomerates of destabilized particles .
    EXAMPLE 1
    Formulation of poly-DADMAC / lime composition according to the invention with respect to other combinations of polymers and lime
    Three families of polymers are compared. In each family, the best performing polymer to be used is determined. Formulations are prepared by stirring integration of the tested polymers, with slurries of lime formulated at 300 g / dm3. For each formulation of the 5% assays were carried out, dosages expressed as a percentage of active polymer material relative to the equivalent in the form of CaO oxide contained in the suspension of lime.
    Table 1
    For each test run, the aspect of the formulation was noted. The results are shown in Table 2 below.
    Table 2
    As can be seen, the cationic coagulant type poly-DADMAC / lime milk composition according to the invention is the only combination polymer / milk lime that allows to obtain a suspension (no setting in mass).
    EXAMPLE 2
    Interest of a composition according to the invention comprising lime and poly-DADMAC / lime vis-à-vis other associations of polymers and lime
    The tests are carried out on a pilot filtration installation. The plant comprises a stirred 200-dm3 preparation tank, a transfer and loading pump and a Netzsch-type filter press consisting of 11 trays for a total filter area of 1 m2.
    The sludge, resulting from biological treatment, has undergone prior treatment of concentration on the drip table. The dry matter concentration of the sludge is 50 g / dm3.
    Three families of polymers are compared. In each family, the most effective polymer and the preferential dose to be used are determined beforehand; the dose is expressed as a percentage by weight of active ingredient (AM) relative to the weight of dry matter of sludge (MS) (see Table 3).
    Table 3
    For the three polymers tested, 20 dm3 of a concentrated polymer solution at 10 g / dm 3 are prepared in a stirred tank.
    In a stirred tank of 200 dm3, 100 dm3 of sludge are prepared and the amount of slaked lime required to stir a 34% treatment rate is added with stirring. The expressed dosage represents in% the amount of reagent in dry equivalents (in Ca (OH)) relative to the dry matter concentration of the sludge.For the first 2 polymers (tests 1 and 2), the lime is added to the sludge in the form of a concentrated lime milk at 160 g / dm3 After the dispersion of the lime in the slurry, the predetermined amount of polymer is added with reference to the concentrations shown in Table 3 of each prepared polymer solution. the last polymer (test No. 3), the solution at 10 g / dm3 is incorporated in the milk of lime (concentrated to 160 g / dm3 as for the tests 1 and 2), in order to obtain a composition (suspension) according to the invention that is added to the sludge.
    We then begin the filtration cycle. This is considered complete when the specific flow becomes less than 10 dm3 / h / m2 of filter surface. The filtration cycle is stopped after 2 hours of filtration in all cases if the minimum specific flow is not reached. For each of the polymers tested, the ability to disintegrate the cakes formed is noted. A dryness measurement (% dry matter) is also measured on the cakes taken after 24 hours in an oven at 105 ° C.
    The results are shown in Table 4 below.
    Table 4
    As can be seen, the cationic coagulant type poly-DADMAC / lime milk composition according to the invention (test 3) is the only polymer / lime milk combination which makes it possible to obtain an optimized dryness of filter cake as well as good properties of disintegration.
    EXAMPLE 3
    Preparation of a pulverulent composition and short-term stability
    The operating conditions of Example 2 are reproduced, but only the cationic coagulant (TS45SH, poly-DADMAC type) is used, at a dosage of 2% in this example (instead of 1.5% in Example 2) .
    For the 2 tests of this example, the mineral component used is a thin (<90 μm), partially extinguished quicklime as disclosed in patent EP 1 154 958, which is added in pulverulent form and at a dosage of 26% (of CaO p / r MS sludge, the same dosage in Ca (OH) 2 equivalent as in Example 2).
    The following preparation and injection variables are tested
    Test 1: Mixing of the coagulant in dry form and lime in pulverulent form and injection of the mixture into the maturation tank
    Test 2. Blend of coagulant in dry form and lime in pulverulent form, storage of the mixture for 48 hours and injection of the mixture into the maturation tank
    The results of these tests are shown in Table 5 below.
    Table 5
    As can be seen, the 2 tests make it possible to obtain very high cake dryness and easy removal. Test 2 further shows that the ready-to-use powdery composition is stable for at least 48 hours and retains its effectiveness for conditioning.
    EXAMPLE 4
    Stability of the composition in the long term
    The sludge, analogous to that of Example 2, is packaged in the laboratory with a pulverulent composition according to the invention containing an organic cationic coagulant (poly-DADMAC) and lime, the composition being either freshly formulated or used after a period 2 months storage after formulation.
    The sludge is treated in a Faure filtration cell that simulates industrial filtration on a filter press. The conditioning is carried out by introducing 2.5 dm3 of sludge into the filtration cell and the filtration is carried out for 2 hours, observing a gradual increase of the pressure up to 15 bars in 30 minutes and then a maintenance of the pressure for 1 hour. hour at 15 bars. The dry matter is then measured on the cakes formed after 24 hours in an oven at 105 ° C.
    The pulverulent composition according to the invention is prepared in the following manner. In an asynchronous kneader (Hobart type), 1 kg of powdered lime of the type of Example 3 is introduced, followed by 50 g of TS45SH powder coagulant. Everything is mixed for 10 minutes. The results of the treatments are shown in Table 6.
    Table 6
    Table 6 shows that the reagent formulated even after 2 months of storage keeps a very good efficiency.
    EXAMPLE 5
    Comparison of the performances of compositions according to the invention with respect to a combination of FeCl3 and lime.
    Three types of sludge ~ a biological sludge ~ an industrial sludge and ~ a digested biological sludge are conditioned in the laboratory by means of - on the one hand, optimized combinations of FeCH and lime and - on the other hand poly compositions -DADMAC and lime, according to the invention
    The sludge is conditioned and then filtered in a Faure filtration cell, according to the operating procedure described in Example 4.
    The quantities of sludge produced are then calculated. Indeed, the limitation of the costs of exploitation and sludge removal makes it possible to produce the least amount of sludge possible and to find the best compromise between the final dryness and the quantities of conditioning reagents to be used.
    In the dewatered sludge, the dry matter of the product to be treated, the residual water and the conditioning agents are found.
    To compare the performance of different packages, besides dryness, we will try to estimate the amount of sludge produced. The following ratio is therefore defined: Q = Quantity of dewatered sludge / amount of dry matter initially present in the sludge to be treated
    The results are shown in Table 7.
    Table 7
    As can be seen, the compositions according to the invention show in all cases better performances (see tests 2, 4 and 6 with respect to the combination of FeCh with comparative lime-tests: 1,3 and 5.
    The siccities of the cakes are systematically superior and the amount of coagulant to be used is very largely diminished, likewise it is sometimes possible also to reduce the dose of lime (whether in pulverulent form or in the form of milk of lime).
    The quantities of sludge produced are reduced (decrease in reagent doses + increase in dryness), which provides a significant operating advantage and reduces sludge disposal costs.
    EXAMPLE 6
    Comparison of the performances of the composition according to the invention with respect to a composition containing a cationic flocculant
    A digested sludge is subjected to three types of conditioning which are shown in Table 8 below.
    This sludge is then filtered via a Faure filtration cell, according to an operating protocol identical to that presented in Example 4.
    The pulverulent composition of poly-DADMAC and lime according to the invention is prepared according to an operating protocol identical to that presented in Example 4. The mixture is stored for one week before use.
    The composition according to the invention of poly-DADMAC and lime in liquid form is obtained in the following manner. In a stirred beaker, 1 kg of concentrated lime milk is introduced at 40% dry matter, then 76.9 g of poly-DADMAC coagulant in liquid form and concentrated with 20% of active ingredient are added. Everything was mixed for 10 minutes and then stored for a week. The suspension formulated has a concentration of 38.6% lime. After 1 week, the liquid mixture has little decanted and retains its pumpability.
    The results are shown in Table 8.
    Table 8
    As can be seen, the tests carried out with the compositions according to the invention (poly-DADMAC and lime) make it possible to greatly improve the dewatering performance as well as the cake removal. Both the powder mixture and the liquid mixture show good formulation stability after one week. There is no change in performance compared to a freshly made mixture. Compared to an organic packaging, the poly-DADMAC / lime pair allows a reduction of the quantity of sludge produced. There is as much lime and poly-DADMAC in test 2 as test 3 because the assay is expressed as Ca (OH) 2 in test 3 EXAMPLE 7
    Interest on centrifuge
    Biological sludge is subjected to two types of conditioning prior to centrifuge dewatering. The first conditioning comprises an addition of a cationic flocculant and pulverulent lime while the second conditioning comprises an addition of a cationic flocculant and a powder composition according to the invention containing poly-DADMAC and lime.
    For each conditioning the optimal dose of flocculant is optimized and the powdered lime used is similar to that of Example 3. The pulverulent composition of poly-DADMAC and lime is a powder mixture prepared as indicated in Example 5.
    Mud (test 1) or the composition according to the invention containing poly-DADMAC and lime (test 2) is added to the sludge and mixed before the addition of the cationic flocculant. The flocculated sludge is dehydrated following a procedure simulating dehydration on a centrifuge. The results are shown in Table 9.
    Table 9
    As can be seen, in combination with a flocculant, the formulated reagent makes it possible to obtain filtration performance similar to a flocculant / lime package, but the composition according to the invention makes it possible to reduce by 85% the dose of flocculant to be applied. implemented. The composition according to the invention can therefore be used in combination with other inorganic or organic conditioning agents.
    It is understood that the present invention is in no way limited to the embodiments described above and that many modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the appended claims.
    For example, the composition according to the invention is supplied as a ready-to-use mixture on the site where it is to be used. It is added in a single step to the sludge to be conditioned from a single tank. The lime and said at least one organic coagulant can also be introduced together at two injection points, in particular premixed before being introduced into the sludge. The term "composition" used here therefore covers this variant by simplicity, but in any state. Therefore, the packaging according to the invention does not necessarily require several steps since as aforesaid, the composition is preferably added in a single step.
