Study of PFS and PAC coagulation effect on Pi River water

Abstract

Using poly-aluminum chloride (PAC) and poly-ferric sulfate (PFS) as coagulants, the effects of the dosage of PAC and PFS on the removal of turbidity, chromaticity and UV254 in water were investigated by using the method of enhanced coagulation. The results show that when the raw water is neutral and the turbidity is less than 20NTU, and the pH value does not decrease much after coagulation and sedimentation, PAC and PFS are separately added to 7.5mg/l, 35mg/l. The removal rate of turbidity and chromaticity in the water sample can reach 83.75% and 48.47%, respectively, but the removal rate of UV254 is less than 30%, the mass ratio of PAC to PFS is 1:1 to 6:1, the removal efficiency of turbidity and Chroma increased by about 10%, but the removal efficiency of UV254 did not change or even decreased, both PFS and PAC can effectively remove the turbidity and Chroma in the micro polluted Pi River, but the removal effect of UV254 is not good, and the removal effect of PAC is better than PFS.
