Sediment, atChemistryIt refers to the process of separating solid matter from solution;It also refers to the solid matter precipitated in the precipitation process.In fact, most of the precipitates are insoluble (solubility<0.01g at 20 ° C).Precipitation is widely used in chemical experiments and production to separate substances.

principle
The process of producing a separable solid phase from the liquid phase or separating from the supersaturated solutionInsoluble substance。Precipitation indicates the formation process of a new condensed phase, or due to the addition ofPrecipitantThe process of depositing some ions into insoluble compounds.The chemical reaction that produces precipitation is calledPrecipitation reaction。The precipitation and dissolution of substances is an equilibrium process, usually usingSolubility product constantKsp to judge whether the insoluble salt is precipitated or dissolved.The solubility product constant refers to the value ofSaturated solutionThe product of the concentration of the ions that make up the precipitation is a constant.This relationship is often used in analytical chemistry to reduce the precipitation solubility by adding the same ions, so that the measured components remaining in the solution can be ignored.[1]
classification
Precipitation can be divided intoCrystalline precipitationAnd amorphous precipitation.barium sulfateIs a typical crystalline precipitation, FetwoOthree·nHtwoO is a typical amorphous precipitate.The internal arrangement of crystalline precipitation is regular, the structure is compact, the particles are large, and it is easy tosettlementAnd filtration;Amorphous precipitation particles are very small, without obvious lattice, disorderly arrangement, loose structure, large size, easy to absorb impurities, difficult to filter, and difficult to clean.
Preparation
Experiments have proved that the type of precipitation and particle size depend on both the nature of the substance and the conditions of precipitation.In actual work, different precipitation conditions must be selected according to different precipitation types to obtain satisfactory precipitation.For crystalline precipitation, dilute precipitant shall be added slowly in hot dilute solution under stirring for precipitation.After precipitation, the sediment will be mixed withmother liquorPlace them together“Aging”To make incompletegrainThe transformation becomes more complete, and small grains are transformed into large grains.For amorphous precipitationConcentrated solutionAnd add a large amount of electrolyte to accelerate the precipitationparticulateCoagulation to prevent formationColloidal solution。After sedimentation, filter immediately without aging.[1]
effect
In classical qualitative analysis, almost half of the detected reactions are precipitation reactions.stayquantitative analysisMedium, it isGravimetric methodandPrecipitation titrationThe foundation of.Precipitation reaction is also a common separation method, which can not only separate the components to be measured, but also remove other coexisting interfering components.

Ca(OH)two+NatwoCOthree=CaCOthree↓+2NaOH has white precipitate to generate industrial productioncaustic soda. The laboratory makes a small amount of caustic soda;

According to the concentration, nature andflocculationDue to different properties, precipitation can be divided into the following types.
Sediments in beverage bottles
oneFree precipitation。suspended particles The concentration of is low, it is discrete in the precipitation process, does not adhere to each other, does not change the shape, size and density of particles, and completes independent precipitation process.This type is mainly manifested inGrit chamber、Primary sedimentation tankInitial stage.
2. Flocculation and sedimentation.The concentration of suspended particles is relatively high (50~500mg/L), which can agglomerate orFlocculation, so that suspended particles collide with each other and condense, and the particle mass gradually increases,Settling velocityGradually accelerate.Sedimentation of particles in coagulated water, later stage of primary sedimentation tankBiofilm methodSecondary sedimentation tankActivated sludge processSecondary sedimentation tank at the initial stage belongs toflocculent settling 。
3. Congestion and sedimentation.The concentration of suspended particles is very high (more than 500mg/L)settlementDuring the process, particles interfere with each other, forming an obvious interface (mixed liquid surface) between clear water and muddy water, and gradually moving downward, so it is also calledStratified precipitation。Later stage of activated sludge secondary sedimentation tankConcentration tankThe upper part belongs to this sedimentation type.
4. Compression sedimentation.suspended particles The concentration is extremely high (so that it is no longer called the concentration of particles in water, but the water content in solids). During the sedimentation process, particles contact each other, and the lower layer particles are compressed by gravity, so that the liquid in the lower layer particle gap is squeezed out of the interface and flows upward, and the solid particle group is concentrated.The sludge thickening process in the sludge bucket and thickener of the activated sludge method secondary sedimentation tank belongs to this type.[1]
