Provided are a coagulation treatment apparatus capable of removing fine
objects of removal from a fluid containing the objects of removal, and a
coagulation treatment method using the apparatus. A coagulation treatment
apparatus for a fluid according to the present invention includes a
production device for introducing ions of metal belonging to Group 8 of
the periodic table into a fluid containing objects of removal and for
producing a coagulated substance in which the objects of removal and the
metal ions are bonded to each other. Moreover, a coagulation treatment
apparatus of another embodiment includes: the production device for
introducing ions of metal belonging to Group 8 of the periodic table into
a fluid containing objects of removal and for producing a coagulated
substance in which the objects of removal and the metal ions are bonded
to each other; and the introduction device for coagulating the objects of
removal by introducing the coagulated substance produced by the
production device into the fluid.
