FERRIC ALUM (EIRI/EDPR/2002) J.C. 904

INTRODUCTION

Aluminium sulfate (Al2(SO4)3), commonly called alum, is produced as white crystals which are non-combustible and soluble in water. This .dry. hydrate (Al2(SO4)3.14H2O) is 17% Al2O3 and is also sold as a 47% w/w aluminium sulfate solution which is 8% Al2O3. It is also sold in solid form as kibbled, ground or dust. Alum are represented by the general formula R1/2 SO4, R2"(SO4)3.24.H2O. Where R and R"are respectively monovalent and trivalent radicals. They are usually the double salts of ammonium, potassium or sodium sulphate with aluminium. Chromium or iron sulphate and are readily preparedy by concentrating and cooling a solution containing molecular proportions of the Component Sulphate. Ferric and Non Ferric Alum is marketed in various grades. The cheapest grade called "alum cake". Potash alum also known as alum alumen. Ferric alumin is aluminium sulphate containing iron obtained from the bauxite ore. Potash alum is prepared from its naturally occurring minerals such as alunite and Ratinite, but in India these do not occur in appreciable quantities. Alum was formerly prepared from alum shales by roasting them in year and leaching it out with water. Alum is now produced in India by crystallizing together equivalent produced in India by Crystallizing together equivalent proportion of potassium sulphate and aluminium sulphate. The solution is concentrated and the crystals are separated out are melted to yield lump alum or recrystalized to obtain large crystals. Aluminium Sulphate is covered by three different grade specifications, namely, technical, pure and analytical reagent grade. Technical grade is intended for use as a mordant in the dyeing of textiles and as a loading material for better grades of paper.


Pure grade is intended for use in pharmaceutical preparations and where pure grades of the material is required, namely for clarifying of oils and fats, preparation of aluminium resinates and other pure aluminium salts such as aluminium sterate etc. A.R. Grade is used for chemical analysis. The material is in the forms of white powder, granules or lumps or slabes, free from visible impurities and is almost entirely soluble in water. The alumina content in Technical grade is 17% and in pure grade & A.R. it is 16.6 to 17.6%.


CHARACTERISTICS & SPECIFICATION


SPECIFICATION OF ALUM


Alum (Aluminium sulphate) forms white crystals of specific gravity 1.62 of Al2 (SO4)3. 18H2O readily soluble in water (128 gms per litre at 30oC) but insoluble in alcohol. Owing to hydrolysis its solution is acidic in reaction.

The anhydrous salt can be obtained by dehydrating the crystals at 200-250oC. It decomposes completely at 750oC. Yielding alumina, sulphurdioxide, sulphurtrioxide. Clear acidified aluminium sulphate solution can be readily super cooled at 10oC or below the saturation point without incurring immediate nucleation. On rapid heating hydrated aluminum sulphate crystal containing more than 35% water of hydration will fuse while salt containing less than 20% water shows little, if any, immediate reaction to heat.


USES & APPLICATIONS Aluminium sulfate has been used by man since 2000 BC, when the Egyptians used a mineral alum as a mordant in dyeing. It has long been used in paper sizing to improve durability and ink receptivity and in water treatment to clarify water. Other uses for alum include wastewater treatment, as a waterproofing agent and accelerator in concrete, as a clarifier for fats and oils and as a foaming agent in fire foams. The aluminium ion has a high charge which makes it an excellent coagulant for colloidal1 matter. In aqueous solution a number of hydrolysis species form e.g. Al(OH)2+, Al(OH)2 +, Al(OH)3 and Al(OH)4 - , dependent on pH. This property means that alum can be used to remove particles from water. The free Al3+ ions hydrate to form highly charged species such as Al8(OH)20 4+. These are attracted to negatively charged species, which include the most common colloidal species in water: clays and CaCO3. These coagulated particles are attracted to precipitated Al(OH)3, and coagulated particles stuck to the surface of an Al(OH)3 gel precipitate out of the solution.


The clarified water is then typically filtered. Every raw water has its optimum pH at which alum performs best. Jar tests (mini clarifier experiments) are carried out to optimise the dose in water treatment plants. The dose rate, the dose point and whether pH adjustment is necessary are determined for each plant. In paper making the alum reacts with rosin sizes of various types, helping to attach the newly formed rosin aluminates to fibres. Sizing makes the paper water resistant. Alum, which exhibits a cationic charge, is also used to flocculate anionic trash including paper fines and other anionically charged material by neutralisation, in a similar way to water treatment, improving drainage, retention and strength of the material. Alum (Aluminium sulphate) mainly used in paper sizing in water treatment. Pharmaceutically, it is employed in dilute solution as a mild astringent and antiseptic for the skin. The most important single application of it is in clarifying water. More than half of the total amount manufactured being so consumed. Sodium aluminate which is basic is sometimes used with aluminium sulphate which is acid to produce the aluminium hydroxide Hoc:

6NaAlo2 + Al2(So4)3 + 12H2O ----> 8Al(OH)3 + 3Na2SO4 Second in importance is the application of Aluminium sulphate in the sizing of paper. It reacts with sodium resinate to give the insoluble aluminium resinate for sizing of paper aluminium sulphate must be free from ferric iron, or the paper will be discolored. The ferrous ion do not harm since they form a soluble practically coloures resinate, which however represents a loss of resinate. A small amount of aluminium sulfate is consumed by the dye industry as a mordant. Soda alum or Aluminium sulphate is used in some baking powders. Alum is also used in tonnage of white leather as a clarifying agent for fats and oils. As a deodorizer and decolourizer in petroleum refinery process in the manufacture of other alums as a catalyst in the manufacture of ethane, as food additives mild artringent antiseptic after shaving. Alum is also used in the manufacture of matches to impregnate the untipped ends to render them filre proof. Burnt alum is used by taxidermist as a preservative.


In medicine it is used as astringent and as a gargle and externally as a styptic. Exsiccated alum is used as a dressing for ulcers and sores and as astringent for swollen gums. In North Western India, freshly burnt alum is added to the drinking water of camels and buffaloes. The largest use of alum is in water purification. Applications: Used in paper industry and Effluent treatment plant Uses of Alum Alum has been part of our lives ever since the time of early Egyptians, who used it in dyeing and purification. Today, it is one of the most widely used and versatile industrial chemicals. Most of the alum produced today is used in the pulp & paper industry as well as water and wastewater treatment. It is inexpensive and effective for a broad range of treatment problems because it can function as a coagulant, flocculant, precipitant and emulsion breaker. As a coagulant and flocculant, alum removes turbidity, suspended solids and colloidal color, reduces biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and clarifies potable, process and wastewater. The main uses of alum are: * Water treatment: used as a coagulant to remove suspended solids and or some metals (eg Cr, Ba, Cu) from water (either drinking water or in waste treatment facilities) * Paper sizing: used as a rosin sizing control in paper production, affects the drainage of liquor from the paper

What happens at a water treatment plant? For thousands of years people have treated their drinking water to make it look cleaner and taste better. Medical lore from ancient India to Egypt advised that water should be filtered through sand and coarse gravel. In Greece, Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, recommended boiling water and straining it through a cloth to remove particles. Early in the 1800s, scientists began to suspect that diseases could be transmitted by drinking water. Since the discovery of bacteria in the 1870s, treatment to eliminate disease-causing microorganisms has dramatically reduced the incidence of diseases transmitted through water.


Water treatment facilities process water through many steps before it reaches your tap as drinking water for your family. The overall process generally begins with intake at the source, followed by pretreatment, mixing, coagulation and flocculation, sedimentation, filtration, disinfection and distribution to the tap. See Figure 1. Other steps may be necessary depending on the quality of the water supply. Preliminary Treatment Processes Preliminary treatment processes to purify water depend on the nature of the water supply and the type and the amount of contaminants. Quality may vary seasonally, thus requiring more or less treatment during certain water-flow conditions. Most groundwater in Alabama receives only the disinfection treatment process. All surface water and water from wells susceptible to contamination from surface water receive full treatment through a filter plant. The various preliminary treatment processes may include the following. Screening. A large object such as logs, sticks, fish and plants are usually screened out at the intake or as the water is drawn into the treatment plant from a river, lake, or other surface water source. If the source is groundwater, the screening is done by nature as the water travels under the surface of the earth. Pre-sedimentation. Gravel, sand, some silt and other gritty materials may be removed by fine screening. Micro-straining. In some cases, algae, aquatic plants and other very small debris may be removed by still finer screening. Chemical Pretreatment. The water is conditioned for removal of natural organics, primarily algae and other aquatic microorganisms, as well as their by- products. This may precede micro-straining. Main Treatment Processes Chemical Feed and Rapid Mix. Chlorine and other chemicals, such as alum or lime, are added to the water to help remove impurities, destroy any taste or odor, raise pH, disinfect and sometimes remove excess minerals such as iron that may cause rust or staining problems. The water is then mixed rapidly to distribute the chemicals evenly.


Since the early 1900s, chlorine (as a solid, liquid, or gas) has been the primary disinfectant used in the United States because it is effective and inexpensive and can provide a disinfectant residual in the distribution system. Ozone and ultraviolet radiation can also be used as primary disinfectants, but chlorine or an appropriate substitute must also be used as a secondary disinfectant after the main treatment processes to prevent re-growth of microorganisms in the distribution system. Chemicals may be added to oxidize ferrous iron (Fe++), which is relatively high in some groundwater, to the ferric state (Fe+++). If pH of the water is above 7 (either naturally or by adding lime), the insoluble compound of ferric hydroxide is precipitated. Softening. Sometimes chemicals are included to reduce the hardness or mineral content of drinking water. This usually involves the exchange of sodium for calcium and magnesium and sometimes, the removal of iron and manganese. However, softening is not as popular as it once was for several reasons. The increased sodium in softened water is unhealthy for people with high blood pressure. In soft water lead is more easily leached from plumbing. Finally, detergents that clean favorably in hard water are readily available. There are no softening plants in Alabama since total dissolved solids are not excessive. Coagulation and Flocculation. The water is sent into large basins where the alum clings to other chemicals and impurities in the water (coagulation), causing them to form larger, heavier particles called floc. Gravity causes these larger particles to settle to the bottom. Sedimentation. The water is allowed to sit undisturbed long enough so that solid particles completely settle to the bottom. This process removes chemical precipitates as well as extremely fine clay and organic particles, including dead microorganisms.


Filtration. After flocs (large, heavy particles) settle to the bottom, the water continues on its trip through filters. Layers of sand, gravel and sometimes hard coal are used to remove any other impurities that are left in the water. Filtration helps to control biological contamination and turbidity. (Turbidity is a measure of the cloudiness of water caused by the presence of suspended matter.) Turbidity can shelter harmful microorganisms and reduce the effectiveness of disinfection. Removing organics prior to final chlorination of drinking water supplies is important. Disinfection. After most impurities have been removed from the water, a small amount of chlorine is added to keep the water from developing bacteria as it travels throughout the distribution pipes. The amount of chlorine (usually no more than 3 parts per million) is carefully measured to be the lowest possible amount needed to keep the water free of germs. Residual chlorine at the tap should be near 0.5 parts per million. A primary health concern with cholorination is the formation of disinfection by-products. When chlorine combines with organic matter in water, such as decaying plants or animals, it forms substances called trihalomethanes (THMs). These have been shown to cause cancer in laboratory animals. Chloroform is a common THM which has been linked to bladder cancer in those who drink from treated public water supplies. There is a drinking water standard for total trihalomethanes (TTHMs) of 0.10 milligrams per liter, but it applies only to those systems that serve more than 10,000 people. Fluoridation. In some places fluoride at concentrations up to 1part per million is also added to help prevent tooth decay. This is not as common as it once was because of the health concern for excess fluoride. EPA has established a maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 4 milligrams per liter (4 parts per million) for fluoride in drinking water. If conventional steps in the main treatment process are not adequate, certain inorganic and organic contaminants must be removed by other methods.


Treatments to Remove Inorganic Contaminants Reverse osmosis or ion exchange are used to remove nonmetal inorganic contaminants. Nitrate and fluoride are the nonmetals of greatest health concern in drinking water. Nitrate is frequently found in groundwater supplies in high-density agricultural areas. Likely sources of groundwater nitrate are nitrogen fertilizers as well as decomposing plant and animal wastes, including human waste from septic systems. Coagulation and filtration, reverse osmosis, ion exchange, or activated aluminas are used to remove metal inorganic contaminants. The metals of greatest health concern in drinking water include mercury, cadmium, selenium, lead, arsenic, chromium and barium. Industrial sources can contribute rare metals and toxic heavy metals to surface waters. Controlling corrosion of inorganic chemicals from the distribution or plumbing system is another treatment alternative. Corrosion of plumbing by-products such as copper and lead at the point of use (the consumers tap) can usually be indirectly eliminated by controlling pH and water hardness. Lead contamination is the most serious threat from corrosion. Lead usually enters the water from private plumbing where it is found in solder used to connect copper pipes. Lead can also be corroded from public distribution system pipes and joints. Aeration effectively strips radon gas from source waters. Oxidation and aeration will remove hydrogen sulfide gas. Treatment to Remove Organic Contaminants Methods to remove organic contaminants include activated carbon filtration and aeration. Special filters may be used at water treatment plants to remove many toxic organic substances such as pesticides and solvents; however, these filter systems are expensive to build and maintain and they slow down the treatment process. As water passes through carbon filters, organic impurities are trapped inside the filter material. This is called adsorption.


Sources of organic compounds include storm-water runoff and leaching from improperly disposed wastes, accidental spills, leaking fuel storage tanks and pipelines, pesticides from agricultural areas and industrial effluents. Testing - Water samples are taken regularly at many points in the treatment process for laboratory testing. These tests let water plant personnel know whether the primary and secondary drinking water standards set by the EPA are being met. The laboratory equipment being used is so sensitive that it can measure substances in parts per million, parts per billion, or even parts per trillion in some cases.

FERRIC ALUM PLANT Bauxite ore is available from the market as lumps with 54 - 58% Alumina as Al 2O3. The Al2O3 percentage should be 57-58% to produce A grade ferric alums. Technical grade Sulphuric acid having concentration of 98.5% is used for the process. The spent Sulphuric Acid which is 70% to 90% pure can also be used partially with 98.5% Acid. MANUFACTURING PROCESS: The raw materials for ferric alums are 1. Bauxite 2. Sulphuric acid The Bauxite lumps are crushed to –20mm size with help of a Jaw crusher . The crushed material is fed in to a open circuit ball mill to grind it to 90% passing through 100 mesh size. This ground Bauxite powder is stored in the storage Hopper. The Digester has Lead and AHR lining . A measured quantity of water or recycled liquor is fed into the digester. A measured quantity of Sulphuric Acid or Spent Acid is added to the Digester. The temperature of the diluted Acid rises due to the liberation of heat of dilution. Now, the powdered Bauxite is added slowly and carefully. The reaction is vigorous and the reaction proceeds with frothing. The reaction temperature goes up to 120oC. The reaction is taken to the completion by adding Bauxite to neutralize the remaining Acid. The agitation with the compressed air is done as and when required. The liquid is drained into the settling pit and allowed to settle for a few days. The decanted liquid is taken to the evaporator where it is heated with steam coils. As the desired gravity of liquid is achieved, the liquid is taken to the moulds for casting. The sludge is washed into a centrifuge. The liquid is recycled and the solid sludge is used for land filling.

RAW MATERIALS BAUXITE The word Bauxite has been derived from Les Baux Near Arles (France) where the mineral was first discovered in 1821. Indian Bauxite is invariably associated with Laterite of which it is now regarded as a variety. True Laterite is essentially a mixture of ferric hydroxide, aluminium hydroxide and silica in varying proportions. It is spoken of as aluminious Laterite or ferruginous Laterite, according to the relative proportions of aluminium hydroxide and ferric hydroxide. Bauxite is essentially a hydrated aluminium oxide Al2O3.2H2O (Al2O3, 73.9%). It appears to be a mixture of the minerals, diaspore, Al2O3.3H2O (Al2O3, 65.4%). Much of the alumina of bauxite is, however, believed to be present in the form of colloidal hydrogels with variable combined water content. The common impurities are silica, iron oxide (as haematite or Limonite) and titanium oxide (as Leuoxene or suitle). The range of composition of bauxites is usually:

AL2O3 : 55 - 65

SiO3 : 5 - 30

Fe2O3 : 1 - 25

TiO3 : 3

Loss on Ignition : 12 - 40

The best french white bauxite contains: AL2O3 : 66 - 74%

SiO3 : 6 - 10%

Fe2O3 : 2 - 4%

TiO3 : 3 - 4%


Ordinarily bauxite is a dirty white, light grey, cream pink or reddish brown rock. Sp. Gr. 2.5 - 3.2

M. p. 1820o. The softer kind of bauxite becomes harder on exposure. Bauxite is amorphous and is usually compact earthy granular or porous. Bauxite results from the decay and weathering of aluminium bearing rocks (igneous sedimentory or metamorphic). The process involves the solution and removal of all the constituents of the parent rock other than alumina. In India, the richest deposits of bauxite are commonly associated with primary laterite, formed from sub aerial weathering of basaltic lavas, like the Duan Irap. Deposites of cream coloured bauxite often occur below a thin covering of highly ferruginous laterite.


MARKET SURVEY Aluminium Sulphate is known more as alum. It is a colourless which is soluble in water but insoluble in alcohol. Two types of aluminium sulphate is available and used-aluminium sulphate with iron content is known as `aluminia ferric' and another as iron free aluminium sulphate. Both of them are manufactured by treating bauxite with sulphuric aic, but iron free aluminium sulphate require tryhydrate to remove iron content. Successful attempts are being made to export aluminium sulphate from India. On an average it is found that 5 percent of available production is exported to various neighboring countries like Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Communist countries like Russia and Tanzania since last ten years. Demand for ferric and non ferric alum is arising for making water more soft for drinking and industrial uses. Industrial processing industries like paper sizing, leather tanning, textile dying and printing etc. also demand aluminium sulphate as one of the intermediate in the process. It is even being used in small proportion in pharmaceutical industries. It had not been possible to derive exact consumption pattern of aluminum sulphate from available secondary data sources as well as limited field work. However, it is learnt that 70 percent of total production is used for water treatment alone. Demand in future is estimated on the basis of trend line analysis. There is very good scope of the product at present and in coming future.


INDIAN DEMAND FOR ALUM

The assessment of demand for Alum is made for the following sector Ferric alum is an important chemical used in the paper industry and in water treatment. Paper industry The most important use of Alum is in the paper industry for sizing of papers. The paper industry uses Aluminium Sulphate for the clarification of process water, Ph control of pulp slurries, setting of dyes and precipitating colloidal clay and dissolved resin into the size on the fibres of the paper (setting of size). A paper mill consumes Ferric and non Ferric Alum at the rate of around 4 kgs/100 kgs of finished paper. Water treatment The next important outlet is in water and sewage treatment as a coagulant: Reaction of Alum with alkali in the water produces an Aluminium hydrate floc which drags down various impurities and aids in removing bacteria and in controlling the taste of water. Alum sold to municipalities for these uses is required to be basic to a slight excess of Al2O3. The Alum used for this applications is usually in the solution form. Frequently it is acidic containing a slight excess of Sulphuric acid for potable and waste water treatment processes. Miscellaneous applications In addition to this, Alum also finds application in textile units, soaps. cosmetics, fire extinguishers etc. The estimated growth rate in demand is 6 to 7% per annum.

GLOBAL SCENARIO OF ALUM Aluminium sulphate hydrate is commonly marketed in the technical or commercial grade The commercial grade is dissoluble both as Alum or granular solid containing 17 to 17.5% Al2O3 and as a solution containing 7.5 to 8.5% Al2O3. In the USA, it is usually produced by reacting bauxite or clay with sulphuric acid. Bauxite is more expensive than clay. The clay, generally kaolin, is roasted to remove organic materials and to break down its crystalline structure, there by increasing the alumina values available for extraction. Roasting is an energy intensive process. In addition, both clays and bauxite vary considerably with respect to the undesirable impurities of Iron and potassium. Thus, the choice of the raw material, roasted clay or bauxite, is governed by the overall economics of producing a satisfactory product. The optimum conditions for roasting the clay and the optimum strength of the sulphuric acid depend upon the particular source of the bauxite or clay. Finely ground bauxite or roasted clay is digested in sulphuric acid near the boiling point of the solution (100 to 120 deg.C) The clay or bauxite to acid ratio is adjusted to produce, either acidic or basic alum. Solids are removed by sedimentation. If necessary, the solution can be treated to remove iron. The iron free grade is produced by using pure Alumina trihydrate in place of bauxite or clay. Excess iron may lead to staining and discolouration of the product containing the aluminium sulphate.

PROCESS OUTLINES FOR ALUMINIUM SULFATE MANUFACTURE Aluminium sulfate is produced according to the following exothermic reaction: 2Al(OH)3 + 3H2SO4 + 8H2O → Al2(SO4)3 .14H2O ∆fH = -156 kJ mol-1 Alum is generally produced batch wise in a reactor. The reactor is a stirred vessel made of materials resistant to the acidity and heat of the reaction. The product produced until the mid 1960s was a lower grade aluminium sulfate made from bauxite or high alumina clays. This product generated silica waste and had too high a level of iron for papermakers, the major users of alum. In 1965 Farmers Fertiliser NZ Ltd changed to using aluminium trihydrate as a raw material for alum to satisfy the paper market. Raw materials Aluminium trihydrate is purified from bauxite. Commercial bauxite (30-75% Al2O3) deposits occur in Australia, Jamaica, France, Guyana, Guinea, the USA and Brazil. Bauxite ore is dissolved in strong caustic soda to form sodium aluminate. The aluminium trihydrate is then precipitated by neutralisation (usually with carbon dioxide) or by autoprecipitation (the Bayer process). Step 1 - Reacting the raw ingredients. The aluminium trihydrate is transported and stored in one tone bags. Each bag is carried by hoist to the feed hopper, where it is opened and conveyed to the reaction tank. The reaction water, trihydrate and sulfuric acid batch is stirred for a period of time with water vapour exiting through the stack. Step 2 - Making the final product After the reaction period either liquid or solid alum is made. If liquid, the concentrated batch is run into the dilution tank filled with the dilution water where it cools over time. The liquid alum is then filtered and pumped to storage. There are overhead load out facilities at Morrinsville where a number of liquid chemicals are available in dispatch tanks for road tankers.


If solid is made, the concentrated alum is run into the casting pans where it sets, aided by fan cooling. The pans are fork lifted to storage racks and from there they are taken to the Crushing Plant and dropped into a hopper. The pieces are broken further by a large kibbler followed by a small kibbler and then screened. Oversize particles go to a bagging hopper and are sold as kibbled product. The screened alum is rotary crushed and further screened to either return to the rotary crusher or be bagged as ground product. Dust is continually collected through an extraction system and is sold as product. The Crushing Plant is flexible and the ratio of kibbled to ground aluminium sulfate is variable. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONS All site effluent is managed by a Distributed Control System (DCS). Site run off and any spills are collected in sumps. All collection sumps have level probes which, once a limit is reached, start the sump pumps which pump the water through a common pH pot. If the pH is outside limits then the water goes to holding tanks where it is used with reaction water. If the pH is acceptable the water is discharged to the effluent stream. The effluent stream is pH monitored and is analysed for suspended solids.


DETAILED PROCESS DESCRIPTION (A) Bauxite Preparation Section:- This consist of the crude bauxite bin, the hot air-swept ball tube mill with classifier the air heater, the storage bin for dried and ground bauxite and the bauxite handling equipment connected as required by the plant lay out. For a good reaction, the ground bauxite must pass a 32 mesh screen (0.5 m). (B) Reaction Section:- This comprises a reaction vessel, the sulphuric acid supply system, the bauxite feed hopper with dosing system, the product collecting tank, the evaporator, the necessary pumps and the auxillary equipment. The reactors are vertical cylindrical tank equipped with agitator and heating elements. Though the main reaction is exothermic, indirect steam heating is required towards the end of the reaction. Cycle to maintain the optimal reaction temperature of 105oC to 115oC. After 15 to 20 hour, the reaction is complete and the solution is pumped into the collecting tank. With bauxite, respect must be paid the iron content, which necessitates as 1 to 2 % lower concentration of Al2O3. Evaporation is effected under atmospheric pressure especially developed concentration vessels using indirect steam heating to be used. The boiling temperature is 110 to 115oC, depending on the type of product desired and on the raw material used. Waste & Emission's:- All scrubber waste water and evolved dust materials are collected and recycled into the process so no liquid effluents will burden the environment.

FERRIC ALUM PLANT


ALUM Manufacturing Process : Alum (Aluminium Sulphate) is manufactured by the reaction of Alumina Hydrate and Bauxite with Sulphuric acid. Bauxite is ground in the pulveriser to 90% passing through 200 mesh and elevated to Batch Hopper through Bucket Elevator. Measured quantity of water is to be taken into the Lead bonded reactor and slowly concentrated Sulphuric acid is to be added in the reactor. After getting the required temperature in the reactor, slowly the ground bauxite is added . After the addition of measured quantity of Bauxite/Alumina Hydrate, the Agitator is kept on for about 45 minutes then the solution is dumped into the settling tank. The decanted solution of Aluminium Sulphate for the mixed process is then again taken to the Reactor and the required quantity of Sulphuric Acid is slowly added and after getting the temperature. The required quantity (as per the degree of solution) of Hydrated Alumina is slowly added keeping agitator rotating. After the addition of total quantity the Alum is moulded in the trays with the help of tray filling arrangement. The slabs after cooling are to be taken out from the trays and stacked in the store. The decanted solution for hot process is taken into the evaporator and the solution is concentrated to the required gravity and than moulded in the trays for cooling. What is Alum and how does it control Algae? ALUM (aluminum sulfate) is a nontoxic material commonly used in water treatment plants to clarify drinking water. In lakes alum is used to control algae, not by killing the algal organisms, but by reducing the amount of the nutrient phosphorus in the water. Like most other plants, algae requires phosphorus to live an reproduce. Algal growth is usually limited by the amount of that mineral available in the water. Phosphorus enters the water either externally, from run-off or ground water, or internally, from the nutrient rich sediments on the bottom of the lake. Phosphorus is released from the sediments under anoxic conditions that occur when the lake stratifies and oxygen is depleted from the lower layer.


Even when external sources of phosphorus have been curtailed by best management practices, the internal recycling of phosphorus can support explosive algal growth. Alum is used primarily to control this internal loading of phosphorus from the sediments of the lake bottom. On contact with water, alum forms a fluffy aluminum hydroxide precipitate called floc. Aluminum hydroxide (the principle ingredient in common antacids such as Maalox) reacts with phosphorus to form an aluminum phosphate compound. This compound is insoluble in water under most conditions so the phosphorus in it can no longer be used as food by algae organisms. As the floc slowly settles, some phosphorus is removed from the water. The floc also tends to collect suspended particles in the water and carry them down to the bottom, leaving the lake noticeably clearer. On the bottom of the lake the floc forms a layer that acts as a phosphorus barrier by combining with phosphorus as it is released from the sediments. The floc is harmless to water creatures and aquatic plants. (Sorry, alum does not control rooted aquatic weeds.) A sediment alum treatment can last up to ten years, depending on how much alum is applied, and lake conditions such as sedimentation rate and external phosphorus loading. Best results are obtained when steps are first taken to control the external sources of phosphorus . Some of these steps are simple, like encouraging the use of phosphorus free fertilizers and detergents or discouraging large flocks of waterfowl. More costly measures may be necessary such as installing a sewer system, building sedimentation impoundments, and diverting agricultural and urban run-off. Alum can also be used to treat water from a nutrient rich inlet before it enters the lake. Any of these best management practices that are in place before the alum treatment will improve its effectiveness and extend its life.
