Abstract: Method for treating water to reduce the dissolved silica content thereof, the method being characterised in that it comprises at least one step of adsorbing the dissolved silica, the step consisting in passing the water through a reactor housing an adsorbent granular material consisting of grains of iron hydroxide (III) and/or iron oxyhydroxide (III) and at least one step of regenerating the adsorbing power of the granular material, the step consisting in bringing the granular material into contact with a base and at least one chloride.

Abstract: The invention related to a method for extracting tin and/or lead contained in an electrically conductive mixture derived from waste, using a solution comprising methane sulphonic acid as an electrolytic solution.

Abstract: Sludge dewatering device that makes it possible to achieve a high degree of dryness while retaining a limited energy consumption and limited industrial risks, comprising at least one first plate (21a) equipped with a first electrode (23a), and at least one second plate (21b) equipped with a second electrode (23b), wherein the first and second plates (21a, 21b) define a chamber (22) configured for receiving a sludge to be dewatered (10a), wherein the first and second electrodes (23a, 23b) are configured for establishing an electric field within the chamber (22), wherein the chamber (22) is equipped with at least one discharge port (32, 34), provided in the bottom third of the chamber (22), configured for discharging a filtrate (15a, 16a), and wherein the chamber (22) is equipped with at least one injection port (33), provided in the top third of the chamber (22), configured for injecting the pressurized purge fluid (11a) into the chamber (22).

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for processing fatty wastes leading to a better valorization, particularly for use as fuel. According to the invention, this method is substantially characterized in that it comprises a chemical treatment of fatty wastes (1, 1?), wherein fatty wastes (1, 1?) are mixed with water (8) and an acid-type reagent (7) so as to obtain a demineralized fatty phase not containing mineral elements belonging to the alkaline and alkaline earths families, and an aqueous phase which may include solid residues as precipitates; followed by a mechanical treatment wherein the obtained mixture undergoes a mechanical separation (11) through decanting or filtering, so as to separate the demineralized fatty phase from the aqueous phase.
