Abstract

The salt obtained from salt sources has a low purity level and contains contaminants. The primary contaminants in the brines were eliminated in this investigation by using analytical separation (titration) techniques. Following the purification method, sodium hydroxide (NaOH) was added to magnesium chloride (MgCl2) to make magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) coagulate in pH control. This was done by PID and Self-Tuning PID (STPID) Control. Using STPID Control, hydrochloric acid (HCl) at a rate of 20% was employed as an effective acid current, MgCl2 as a coagulant, and NaOH at a rate of 10% as a neutralization base throughout the process. The coagulation technique was carried out with pH values of 7, 9, and 11, respectively. The pH of the medium was adjusted using the PID and STPID algorithms, as well as an on-line computer control system. As the system model, ARMAX was employed. As a forcing function, a pseudo-random binary sequence (PRBS) was used to identify the dynamics of the process to be controlled, and the system output was measured. The Bierman algorithm was used to evaluate the model parameters. The STPID controller's tuning parameters were calculated. Following the coagulation method, an analytical titration procedure was used to find out if there are any trace amounts of Mg(OH)2 in the current environment, and a settlement percentage of 90% to 95% was found. To get the best coagulation, a pH value of 11 was chosen as the optimal value based on the performed calculations.
