Distinct mechanisms of particle aggregation induced by alum and PACl: Floc structure and DLVO evaluation

Abstract: a b s t r a c tInteractions of silica microspheres were examined by light scattering in presence of alum and polyaluminum chloride (PACl) with various OH/Al ratios. The coagulation behaviors were investigated using different coagulant dosages at constant pH (6.5) and salt concentration (0.01 mol/L). Based on the measurement of size distribution and zeta potential, charge neutralization was proposed to be the primary coagulation step for all the coagulants while other distinct coagulation steps were also involv… Show more

“…Moreover, visible granules appeared in both LTF SBR and STF SBR even the cell surface charge still low. These results can be likely explained by the neutralization and electrostatic patch coagulation of PAC [14]. In general, after dosing of PAC, the preformed Al species adsorbed to surface of flocs quickly, and the negative charge can be neutralized.…”

“…In contrast to Al salts, more attention was appealed by PAC, which was more effective and lower costing. Moreover, inherent difference in the coagulation behavior and particle removal mechanism between alum and PAC was also reported by Wu et al [14]. Compared to the numerous studies regarding the efficiency of PAC addition to wastewater in the context of coagulation-flocculation, reports dealt with enhancement of granules formation is scarce.…”

“…Depending on the measurement of size distribution and Zeta potential, charge neutralization was suggested to be the basic coagulation step for all the coagulants while other distinct coagulation steps were also implicated based on in situ formed or preformed hydrolyzing products. Precipitate coverage and sweep flocculation were called for alum, contrasted to polycation patch and bridge aggregation for PACl [50].…”
