What is polyaluminium chloride (PAC)?

Polyaluminium Chloride (PAC) is a versatile chemical used extensively in water treatment and various industrial processes. Its growing importance across multiple sectors underscores its effectiveness in treating wastewater, purifying drinking water, and meeting the stringent environmental standards required today.

What is polyaluminium chloride used for?

Polyaluminium chloride (aluminium chlorohydrate) also simply called PAC, is used in deodorants and as a coagulant in water purification. This compound is preferred in some cases because of its high charge, which makes it more effective at destabilizing and removing suspended materials than other aluminium salts. CAS No.: 1327-41-9

Why do we need PAC chemicals?

PAC chemicals play a pivotal role in addressing modern industry’s water treatment challenges. Their versatility across various environmental conditions, cost-effectiveness, and compatibility with different water treatment systems make them indispensable in ensuring water quality and sustainability.

Can PAC chemicals be used in environmental remediation?

Innovative uses of PAC chemicals in environmental remediation include treating runoff water and industrial effluents to prevent pollutants from reaching natural water bodies.

Is Pac better than aluminium sulfate flocculant?

Comparing to aluminium sulfate flocculant, the quality of water treated with PAC is better; the total cost reduced by 15%~30%, and the solubility is better. It can be applied to water with broad pH range. The floc function valid in water of pH 5 to pH 9

What is the efficacy of different Pac types?

The efficacy of different PAC types largely depends on the environmental conditions of the water treatment process. Low basicity PAC performs exceptionally well in low-turbidity water, effectively removing minimal impurities.
