Patent ID: 11097960

Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for treating water including: —an adsorption step which involves bringing the water into contact with a new adsorbant, the water being referred to as “pre-adsorbed water” before being brought into contact with the new adsorbant, and being referred to as “adsorbed water” after being brought into contact with the new adsorbant, and—a recirculation step which involves removing at least a portion of the new adsorbant brought into contact with the water during the adsorption step, the removed portion constituting a used adsorbant. During the recirculation step, the used adsorbant is brought into contact with the pre-adsorbed water. Also, the pre-adsorbed water does not undergo a clarification step that involves eliminating from the water at least a portion of the suspended matter that it contains. Also disclosed is a device for implementing such a method.
