What is polyaluminium chloride (PAC)?

Polyaluminium chloride (PAC) is a widely used water treatment chemical. It has a wide range of PH adaptation and it is not easy to produce color or other side effects. After the use of poly aluminum chloride, the content of iron, manganese and other heavy metals in water is low, which has a little corrosive effect on the equipment.

How to make polyaluminium chloride powder?

The method using aluminum chloride powder as raw material to produce polyaluminium chloride powder is most commonly used. It can be prepared by boiling pyrolysis with crystalline aluminum chloride at 170℃, adding water for curing and polymerization,and then curing and drying to get PAC powder.

Why is polyaluminum chloride a good coagulant for water treatment?

Polyaluminum chloride (PAC) is highly effective coagulant for water treatment over conventional coagulants because of low dosage requirement, shorter flocculation time, smaller amount of sludge, high efficiency and low aluminum residual in treated water .

What is poly aluminum chloride?

Poly aluminum chloride is a new water purification material, inorganic polymer coagulant. It is a white or yellow water-soluble solid. We usually judge its strength and quality by the content of Al2O3 and alkalinity.

Can polymeric PAC be used for water treatment?

Several researchers have investigated the synthesis, of PAC and its performance for water treatment. The results shows that various polymeric species of PAC yield (Al b species) are obtained and different performance efficiencies for water treatment are reported in the literature [21, 24].

What is brown PAC chemical?

Brown PAC chemical is generally mainly used for sewage treatment. The raw materials are calcium aluminate powder, hydrochloric acid, bauxite and iron powder and the production process adopts the drum drying method. Because of iron powder, the color is brown. The more iron powder is added, the darker the color.
