Does polyaluminium chloride coagulant affect the structure and diversity of pollutants?

The polyaluminium chloride (PAC) coagulant was applied to determine the impact of the treatment process on the structure and diversity of these pollutants in urban drinking water.

Does polyaluminium chloride affect microbial community in urban river sediments?

Polyaluminium chloride (PAC) has been widely used as a chemical coagulant in water treatment. However, little is known about the impact of PAC performance on the microbial community in sediments. In this study, the archaeal, bacterial, and fungal communities in urban river sediments with and without PAC treatment were investigated.

Can coagulation remove pollutants from urban drinking water?

Conclusions In this study, the coagulation method, which is simple and cost-efficient, is proven as an effective process to remove pollutants from urban drinking water. Although several coagulants have been experimented with for urban drinking water treatment, the PAC coagulant was investigated as efficient for TOC, TSS, and TN removal.

What is coagulation/flocculation treatment in xixinghou River?

As the Xixinghou River contains many suspended particles, coagulation/flocculation (CF) treatment is performed by adding polyaluminium chloride (PAC) coagulant to improve water quality.

Why is coagulation used in urban water treatment systems?

Coagulation is a method of treating water that has been vital to the production of potable water for decades . This method is frequently utilized in urban drinking water treatment systems across the world because it is an effective chemical treatment technique for urban water [9, 10].

What coagulants are used in water treatment?

During water treatment processes, conventional coagulants such as iron and aluminium sulfate are typically used to stimulate particle formation.
