What is Poly Aluminium Chloride (PAC)?
Poly Aluminium Chloride (PAC) is a highly efficient inorganic polymer coagulant used in water purification and wastewater treatment. It is derived from aluminum and is available in powder or liquid form.
PAC works by neutralizing the negative charges of suspended particles in water, causing them to clump together (coagulate) and settle, making it easier to remove impurities.
Chemical Characteristics
- Chemical Formula: [Al₂(OH)nCl₆−n]m
- Appearance: Yellow or white powder
- Solubility: Highly soluble in water
- pH Range: Effective across a wide pH range
Why Poly Aluminium Chloride is Preferred in Kenya
Over the years, PAC has gained popularity in Kenya due to its superior performance compared to traditional coagulants like aluminum sulfate (alum).
Key Advantages
a). Higher coagulation efficiency
b). Faster sedimentation
c). Lower sludge production
d). Works in a wide pH range
d). Reduced chemical usage
e). Cost-effective in the long run
