Can polyaluminum chloride treat textile dyeing effluents?

The study aimed to assess the coagulant efficiency of polyaluminum chloride (PAC) for treating textile dyeing effluents. The discharged textile dyeing effluents, when untreated, severely pollute water and soils, posing a threat to the entire environment.

Could PAC be a coagulant for textile dyeing effluents?

Textile and dyeing factories play an incredibly imperative role in deteriorating the water quality by releasing their effluents in ponds, rivers, lakes, and oceans. PAC (Polyaluminum Chloride) could be a potential coagulant for treating the textile dyeing effluents, helping to build a sustainable environment.

How does polyaluminium chloride affect wastewater treatment equipment?

After the use of Polyaluminium Chloride (PAS), the content of iron, manganese and other heavy metals in water is lowered, which has a little corrosive effect on wastewater treatment equipment.

What is polyaluminium chloride (PAC)?

Poly aluminium chloride (PAC) used at YASA ET for wastewater treatment projects has the characteristics of good coagulation performance, large alum particles formation, fast settling, low dosage, high efficiency, and wide application range. Due to the positive charge Polyaluminium Chloride (PAC) has strong adsorption of suspended matter in water.

What is chemical coagulation in textile dyeing effluent treatment?

Chemical coagulation is a process used in textile dyeing effluent treatment where chemicals are added to change the physical state of dissolved and suspended solids and facilitate their removal by sedimentation.

Do textile dyeing effluents pollute water and soil?

Textile dyeing effluents, when discharged without treatment, severely pollute water and soils, threatening the entire environment. The study analyzed both the discharged and treated effluents using standard methods of analysis. The optimized parameters of the coagulant PAC were the dose, contact time, temperature, and agitation speed.
