Abstract
A flocculation-magnetic separation is provided which reduces the usage amount of flocculation agents as well as the usage amount of magnetic powders and realizes an improvement in the quality of treated water. In a flocculation-magnetic separation system comprising a flocculation section generating magnetic flocks by adding flocculant agents and magnetic powders to wastewater that is a target to be treated, and a magnetic separation section separating the generated magnetic flocks by magnetic force, the flocculation-magnetic separation system being adapted to remove from the wastewater substances to be eliminated, by separating the magnetic flocks, the flocculation-magnetic separation system includes a magnetic material recovery section breaking down the separated magnetic flocks by shearing force to recover magnetic materials, a recovered magnetic material returning line returning the recovered magnetic materials to the flocculation section, and a control section controlling an addition amount of the flocculant agents by a physical quantity based on the recovered magnetic materials returned.
