  • Is polyaluminum chloride a coagulant?
  • Inorganic coagulants such as polyaluminum chloride (PAC) have been used for years to treat water and wastewater. However, PAC as a coagulant can harm the living environment as it is toxic to humans and aquatic ecosystems. The use of natural and biocompatible materials such as sodium alginate as coagulant-aid can reduce the use of PAC.
  • Does pH affect the performance of polyaluminum chloride (PAC)?
  • The performance of PAC was dependent on pH. The synthesized PΑC was efficient coagulant for water treatment. The present work was aimed to synthesis of polyaluminum chloride (PAC) using calcium oxide as a basification agent and optimization of process parameters on the yield of medium polymer species in PAC.
  • Can polyaluminium chloride improve coagulation process in conventional water treatment?
  • The coagulation process in conventional water treatment could be enhanced and the ensuing water pH decline reduced appreciably by applying the right dosage of polyaluminium chloride and appropriate process conditions of pH, fluid mixing speed matrix and residence time.
  • Is PAC a coagulant or a dewatering agent?
  • With improvement and upgrade of technologies and processes in drinking water treatment, more and more water treatment plants use polyaluminium chloride (PAC) as a coagulant in coagulation and sedimentation units and anionic polyacrylamide (APAM) as a dewatering agent in sludge handling units (Duan et al., 2025 ).
