  • 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 polyaluminium chloride better than polyelectrolyte – alum-based coagulation?
  • At the Barekese Water Treatment Plant in Ghana, an alternative, the polyelectrolyte – polyaluminium chloride (PAC) is also used in coagulation but limited information is available on the operating conditions required to achieve better performance than alum-based coagulation.
  • 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 polyaluminium chloride coagulate with non-prehydrolysed aluminium salts?
  • Although the mechanism of coagulation with non-prehydrolysed and prehydrolysed aluminium salts is the same, the presence of polymeric forms of aluminium in polyaluminium chloride solutions makes them more stable in water, providing more effective removal of impurities and lower concentrations of aluminium remaining in the treated water.
