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 polyaluminum chloride?

[English name] Polyaluminium Chloride, abbreviated PAC. [Technical standard] Product quality in line with national GB15892-2003 standard. Compared with other coagulants, polyaluminum chloride has the following advantages: wide application range, wide adaptability to water. Easy to quickly form large alum flower, good precipitation performance.

What is high-purity poly-aluminum chloride (PACL)?

Poly-aluminum chloride (PACl) is one of the common coagulants for water and wastewater treatment. A new Chinese national standard of PACl has been implemented, where the concentration of insoluble substances, iron and heavy metals is to be controlled strictly, then researches on the preparation of high-purity PACl are needed.

What are the advantages of polyaluminum chloride?

Compared with other coagulants, polyaluminum chloride has the following advantages: wide application range, wide adaptability to water. Easy to quickly form large alum flower, good precipitation performance. The suitable PH value range is wide (5-9), and the PH value and basicity of treated water decrease little.

How to use polyaluminum chloride?

Usage :1. Dissolve solid polyaluminum chloride into liquid by adding 1:3 water, and then dilute it with 10-30 times water to the required concentration before use. 2, dosage can be determined according to the different turbidity of raw water, the best dosage, generally raw water turbidity in 100-500mg/L, each thousand tons of dosage is 10-20kg.

What is anionic polyacrylamide (PAM)?

Anionic polyacrylamide (PAM) possesses interconnected and active groups that establish robust bonds with the surface of suspended colloids, promoting the formation of coarse particles among the suspended solids and a mixture of insoluble particles in water (Irfan et al. 2017).
