What is polyaluminium chloride (PAC)?

Polyaluminium chloride (PAC) is a widely used water treatment chemical. It has a wide range of PH adaptation and it is not easy to produce color or other side effects. After the use of poly aluminum chloride, the content of iron, manganese and other heavy metals in water is low, which has a little corrosive effect on the equipment.

Is polyaluminium chloride a safe coagulant?

Polyaluminium Chloride is a safer alternative to several other chemical coagulants. For instance, aluminium sulphate has been widely used as coagulant for many years. It removes contaminates and general turbidity from water during the water treatment process.

Why is PAC used in water treatment?

PAC helps reduce the overall cost of water treatment by 15-30%. Compared to inorganic coagulants or flocculants, PAC is suited to broad water temperature including at low temperature. Water treated using PAC has fewer salts content and can be used for ion-exchange treatment. PAC contains lower corrosivity level and is easy to handle and operate.

Can polyaluminium chloride be used in drinking water treatment?

Drinking grade polyaluminium chloride (PAC 30%) can be used in drinking water treatment. Polyaluminum chloride is immediately dissolved in water. During the dissolution process, hydroxide ions release a large amount of positive charges to adsorb negatively charged ions in the water.

What is the treatment capacity of polyaluminium chloride?

Its treatment capacity is 1.3-3.0 times of other inorganic flocculants. The PAC (Polyaluminium Chloride) enjoys wide-range adaptability for different-temperature source water and a good solubility. PAC is slightly corrosive and easy for operation, and it is suitable for automatic dosing.

Can poly aluminum chloride be applied to sewage treatment?

It can be applied to sewage treatment because it has a wide range of application to PH value and short settling time. The application of poly aluminum chloride in water treatment can ensure the quality of water sources to a certain extent and reduce the harm to human health.
