Polyaluminum Ferric Chloride (PAFC)
Polyaluminum ferric chloride (PAFC) is a composite inorganic coagulant combining the charge neutralization of aluminum with the strong flocculation of iron species. It offers enhanced turbidity and color removal compared to single-metal coagulants, particularly effective for treating high-color surface waters and oily wastewater.
Technical Specifications
| density | 1.15–1.25 g/cm³ |
| basicity | 60–85% |
| appearance | Brown to dark brown liquid |
| Al Fe ratio | Al:Fe = 3:1 to 1:1 (adjustable) |
| Al2O3 plus Fe2O3 | ≥10% |
| pH 1pct solution | 3.0–5.0 |
Applications
- High-turbidity river water treatment in waterworks
- Color removal from industrial and textile wastewater
- Oily wastewater pre-treatment in refineries
- Low-temperature water treatment in cold climates
- Phosphorus removal in municipal effluent
Key Features
- Synergistic Al-Fe chemistry outperforms single-metal coagulants
- Effective color removal for heavily colored industrial streams
- Performs well in low-temperature, low-turbidity water
- Adjustable Al:Fe ratio to optimize for specific water chemistry
