  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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).
  • Does polyaluminium chloride affect microbial community in urban river sediments?
  • Polyaluminium chloride (PAC) has been widely used as a chemical coagulant in water treatment. However, little is known about the impact of PAC performance on the microbial community in sediments. In this study, the archaeal, bacterial, and fungal communities in urban river sediments with and without PAC treatment were investigated.
