Application of PFSC in Seawater Desalination Pretreatment

Abstract

The optimal condition of polysilicon ferric chloride (PFSC) flocculant was established by thinking of the factors , such as Si/Fe molar ratios,the reaction temperature and the pH value of the solution. When the molar ratio of Si and Fe = 1, pH value = 0.6, curing temperature at 30 ~40 °C, poly ferric chloride dosage of 0.75mg/L, the rate of turbidity removal of seawater is up to 96.5%. Experimental results show that poly ferric chloride seawater turbidity removal effect is obvious.
