Can polyaluminum chloride be used in water treatment?

In this study, synthesis and speciation of polyaluminum chloride (PAC) for application in water treatment was investigated using a colorimetric speciation method. It was possible to produce stable preparations of PAC solutions in which a relatively stable cationic polymer predominated.

Can polyaluminium water treatment sludge be reused as a floccula?

ducts, hence, reuse of these wastes is a major contributor to sustaining fresh water for the coming decades. In this study, the reuse of polyaluminium water treatment sludge (PA-WTS) as a floccula

What is polyaluminum water treatment sludge (PA-WTS)?

hereafter referred to as polyaluminium water treatment sludge (PA-WTS), which poses a challenge to dispose. From a chemical point of view, polyaluminum chloride (PAC) is similar to alum, except that the former contains highly charged polymeric aluminium species as well as the monomers. The solubility charact

Does polyaluminum chloride remove turbidity?

The study compares the efficacy of polyaluminum chloride and polyacrylamide in removing turbidity, representing the number of suspended solids, under varying pH, mixing time, temperature, oil, and suspended solids conditions. Optimizing these parameters is crucial for enhancing the coagulation treatment’s efficiency.

Can a cationic polymer predominate PAC solution?

It was possible to produce stable preparations of PAC solutions in which a relatively stable cationic polymer predominated. The mode of preparation has a dramatic effect on the composition of PAC preparation.

Can aluminum sulfate be used as a coagulant for turbid water treatment?

Jasim et al. (2022) conducted a comparative study involving aluminum sulfate (alum), ferric chloride, and polyaluminum chloride as coagulants for turbid water treatment. The findings revealed that polyaluminum chloride exhibited greater efficiency in turbidity removal compared to alum and ferric chloride.
