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.

Is polyacrylamide ionic or non-ionic?

The polyacrylamide produced is a non-ionic polyacrylamide. Synthetic polyacrylamides which are often quoted as non-ionic actually contain, as in the case of polymers and copolymers made from acrylamide, some 1-3% of anionic groups arising from the hydrolysis of amide groups.

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.

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 .

Does polyaluminium chloride remove colour and cod from semi-aerobic water?

This research examined various experimental conditions for application of Polyaluminium Chloride (PAC) for removing colour, COD and ammonia from semi-aerobic. The removals of colour, COD and ammonia were up to 93%, 56% and 32%, respectively, at an optimum dosage of 2000 mg/L PAC.

What is the use of anionic polyacrylamide in water and wastewater treatment?

The main use of anionic polyacrylamides in water and wastewater treatment is as coagulant aid to bridge the coagulated particles formed when an inorganic coagulants such as alum has been used as the primary coagulant. Fig. 2. Hydrolysis of polyacrylamide
