Pafc Polyaluminum Ferric Chloride Textile Water Treatment

Product Description:

Polyaluminum Ferric Chloride (PAFC) is an inorganic polymeric coagulant synthesized by combining aluminum salts (Al³⁺) and iron salts (Fe³⁺) through advanced polymerization techniques. It belongs to the family of composite inorganic polymer flocculants and is widely recognized for its dual advantages derived from both aluminum and iron components.

PAFC is highly effective in water and wastewater treatment due to its stable chemical structure, high charge density, and adaptability to varying water quality conditions. Its development addresses limitations of traditional coagulants like Aluminum Sulfate (alum) or ferric chloride, offering improved performance in turbidity removal, color reduction, and pollutant destabilization.

Features:

Combines the rapid charge-neutralization capability of aluminum salts with the strong adsorption and bridging effects of iron salts, enabling efficient removal of colloidal particles, organic matter, and microorganisms.

Produces dense, large flocs that settle quickly, reducing sedimentation time.

Functions effectively across a wider pH range (pH 5–9) compared to conventional aluminum- or iron-based coagulants, minimizing the need for pH adjustment.

Generates fewer residual aluminum or iron ions in treated water, enhancing safety for drinking water applications and reducing secondary pollution risks.

Effective in removing heavy metals (e.g., arsenic, lead), phosphates, and organic pollutants (e.g., dyes, oils) through adsorption and precipitation.

Lower dosage requirements and reduced sludge production compared to traditional coagulants, lowering operational costs.

Maintains coagulation efficiency in both low- and high-temperature water conditions.

Applications:

Drinking Water Treatment

Removes turbidity, algae, bacteria, and natural organic matter (NOM) to meet potable water standards.

Reduces disinfection byproduct precursors (e.g., trihalomethanes).

Industrial Wastewater Treatment

Treats wastewater from industries such as textiles (dye removal), papermaking (lignin and pigment removal), and petrochemicals (oil-water separation).

Effective for heavy metal precipitation in mining or electroplating effluents.

Municipal Sewage Treatment

Enhances removal of suspended solids (SS), phosphorus, and organic pollutants in sewage plants.

Sludge Conditioning

Improves sludge dewatering efficiency by binding water molecules and reducing sludge volume.

Specialized Applications

Used in swimming pool water clarification, landfill leachate treatment, and stormwater management.

Applied in the food industry for wastewater recycling and in agriculture for irrigation Water Purification.
