EFFECT OF ALUMINIUM SULPHATE AGING ON COAGULATION PROCESS FOR THE PRUT RIVER WATER TREATMENT

Aluminium sulphate is one of the most widely used coagulants for water treatment and has been proven to be an effective coagulant for the removal of certain contaminants, turbidity and colour. Aluminium sulphate used during the coagulation process is hydrolyzed in the water, forming polynuclear comp...

Description
Summary:Aluminium sulphate is one of the most widely used coagulants for water treatment and has been proven to be an effective coagulant for the removal of certain contaminants, turbidity and colour. Aluminium sulphate used during the coagulation process is hydrolyzed in the water, forming polynuclear complexes. Aged aluminium solutions show different coagulation behaviour than that of freshly prepared solutions. Obtained results reveal that using of optimal aging solution of coagulant improves the coagulation process.
