  • Do polyaluminium chloride and anionic polyacrylamide water treatment residuals adsorb phosphorus?
  • Polyaluminium chloride and anionic polyacrylamide water treatment residuals (PAC-APAM WTRs) as an amendment in three types of soils with the ratios (w/w) of 10%, 15%, and 20% were evaluated for phosphorus adsorption from aqueous solutions by batch studies.
  • Why is aluminum sulfate replaced by poly-aluminum chloride?
  • Aluminum sulfate and ferric chloride with low molecular weights are gradually replaced by the new aluminum salt coagulant, poly-aluminum chloride (PAC), due to the lower concentration of PAC under the same water quality conditions, the better adaptability to the pH of raw water, and the larger amount of generated PACS ( Gao et al., 2003 ).
  • Does PAC increase phosphorus removal?
  • The addition of 40 mg PAC/L (R2) enhanced phosphorus removal from 73.3% in control with zero PAC (R1) to 92.4% due to simultaneous chemical precipitation. PAC addition improved COD removal slightly and did not affect the removal efficiency of nitrogen.
  • Can PACs be used to remove phosphorus from water?
  • Results of column adsorption experiments showed that with lower phosphorus and hydraulic loads, the adsorption column took longer to reach saturation. This indicated that PACS could be used as an efficient material for removal of phosphorus from water. This study provides a new treatment method with PACS. 1. Introduction
