How to prepare polyaluminum chloride (PAC G)?

In order to overcome the drawbacks, the fresh aluminum hydroxide gels were proposed to prepare the polyaluminum chloride (PAC G) in this study. The optimal preparation condition of PAC G was obtained by optimizing the preparation conditions including temperature, time and acid concentration.

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 .

What are the synthesis parameters of aluminum chloride hexahydrate?

The synthesis parameters were concentration of aluminum chloride hexahydrate (0.4 to 0.8 M), basicity ratio (2.0 to 2.4), reaction temperature (60 to 80 °C) and time (180 to 360 min). The performance of PΑC for water treatment was also investigated. The monomeric, medium polymeric and colloidal species of PAC were determined by Ferron test method.

What is polyaluminum chloride used for?

Polyaluminum chloride (PAC) is commonly used as a chemical in the water treatment industry, deodorant and paper-making. The PAC is a complex inorganic substance between hydroxyl and aluminum ions that gradually takes place chlorination with its general formula of Al x (OH) y Cl 3x-y .

What is the distribution of aluminum species in Pac G?

Aluminum species distributions of the self-prepared PAC G are discovered similar to that of PAC prepared by the conventional method at the basicity value ranging from 2.0 to 0. And the middle polymers (Al b2 /Al 13 ), which play important roles in the coagulation, are the dominant aluminum species in PAC G2.0 and PAC G1.5.

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.
