Can polyaluminum chloride treat textile dyeing effluents?

The study aimed to assess the coagulant efficiency of polyaluminum chloride (PAC) for treating textile dyeing effluents. The discharged textile dyeing effluents, when untreated, severely pollute water and soils, posing a threat to the entire environment.

How does polyaluminium chloride affect wastewater treatment equipment?

After the use of Polyaluminium Chloride (PAS), the content of iron, manganese and other heavy metals in water is lowered, which has a little corrosive effect on wastewater treatment equipment.

Does recycled alum sludge remove dye from textile dye wastewater?

Dye removal from textile dye wastewater using recycled alum sludge. Water Research, 35(13), 3147-3152. Kacha, S.; Derriche, Z.; and Elmaleh. S. (2003). Equilibrium and kinetics of colour removal from dye solutions with bentonite and polyaluminium hydroxide. Water Environment Research, 75(1), 15-20.

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.

Could PAC be a coagulant for textile dyeing effluents?

Textile and dyeing factories play an incredibly imperative role in deteriorating the water quality by releasing their effluents in ponds, rivers, lakes, and oceans. PAC (Polyaluminum Chloride) could be a potential coagulant for treating the textile dyeing effluents, helping to build a sustainable environment.

Can coagulants be used to remove dyes from dye wastewater?

The results of this work clearly indicate that use of coagulant formulation is far superior to using individual coagulant in removal of dyes from dye wastewater. In this case, the advantages of both inorganic and organic coagulants can be incorporated in formulation to a great extent.
