What is poly aluminum-ferric chloride (PAFC)?

Author to whom correspondence should be addressed. Poly aluminum-ferric Chloride (PAFC) is a new type of high efficiency coagulant. In this study, high iron type gangue is used as a main raw material. It is calcined at 675 °C for 1 h and 3% CaF 2 is added to the calcined powder and reacted with 20% hydrochloric acid at 93 °C for 4 h.

Is polyaluminium ferric chloride a composite coagulant?

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 .

How is calcined aluminum ion reacted with hydrochloric acid?

It is calcined at 675 °C for 1 h and 3% CaF 2 is added to the calcined powder and reacted with 20% hydrochloric acid at 93 °C for 4 h. The leaching ratio of aluminum ions is 90% and that of iron ions is 91%. After Fe 2+ ions are oxidized in the filtrate, CaCO 3 is used to adjust the pH of the filtrate to 0.7.

Is Pac better than aluminum sulfate & aluminum chloride for removing turbidity & nom?

Moreover, the performance of synthesized PAC was also very much higher as compared with aluminum sulfate and aluminum chloride for removing turbidity and NOM from synthetic water samples. The coagulant dose and the lime required of synthesized PAC were reduced more than two folds relative to aluminum sulfate and aluminum chloride doses.

How to extract (Al + Fe) B species from PAFC?

The mixture solution of ethanol, propylene glycol, and acetone could be used as precipitation solvents to extract the (Al + Fe) b species from PAFC. The optimal separation and purification conditions were organic solvents volume ratio = 2:1:7 and the middle organic solvents dosage V2 = 100 mL ( V1 = V3 = 50 mL, for 10 mL of 0.3 M PAFC solution).
