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 anionic polyacrylamide be used as a coagulant in water treatment sludge?

Also, using anionic polyacrylamide (APAM) as a coagulant in the dewatering process of water treatment sludge has been a regular practice to accelerate the dewatering process and decrease the size of dewatering tanks or ponds in large-scale drinking water treatment plants.

Can polyaluminium chloride and anionic polyacrylamide remove CD 2+ and Zn 2+?

Water treatment residuals produced after addition of polyaluminium chloride and anionic polyacrylamide (PAC-APAM WTRs) were evaluated for the potential to remove Cd 2+ and Zn 2+ from aqueous solutions by batch adsorption studies.

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.

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.

Is polyaluminium chloride a coagulant?

Meanwhile, polyaluminium chloride (PAC) is increasingly being used as the coagulant to replace the traditional Al-salt based coagulant around the world.
