  • How are polyaluminum coagulants selected?
  • Selection of polyaluminum (PAXs) coagulants is examined for different raw water types and solid-liquid separation processes. PAXs were tested with various basicities and sulfated versus non-sulfated. Four widely different water supplies were studied in terms of alkalinity, turbidity, and concentration and nature of natural organic matter (NOM).
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
