Q

What are the main applications of PAC?


A
PAC is primarily used in water treatment for coagulation and flocculation, as well as in paper manufacturing, textile dyeing, and as a food additive for water purification.
Q

How does PAC work in water treatment?


A
PAC works by neutralizing the charges of suspended particles in water, allowing them to clump together into larger particles (flocs) that can be easily removed through sedimentation or filtration.
Q

What are the benefits of using PAC over traditional coagulants?


A
PAC is more effective at lower dosages, produces less sludge, has a faster settling time, and works over a wider range of pH levels compared to traditional coagulants like aluminum sulfate.
Q

Is PAC environmentally friendly?


A
Yes, PAC is considered environmentally friendly due to its lower impact on water quality and the reduced amount of residual sludge it produces compared to other coagulants.
Q

What is the recommended dosage of PAC for water treatment?


A
The recommended dosage varies based on water quality and treatment goals but typically ranges from 5 to 100 mg/L. It's best to conduct jar tests to determine the optimal dosage for specific conditions.
Q

How should PAC be stored?


A
Store PAC in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Ensure that the containers are sealed tightly to maintain its quality.
Q

Can PAC be used in industrial wastewater treatment?


A
Yes, PAC is effective in industrial wastewater treatment processes, helping to remove suspended solids, heavy metals, and other contaminants from various types of industrial effluents.
Q

What is the shelf life of PAC?


A
The shelf life of PAC is typically around 12 to 24 months when stored properly in a sealed container, away from moisture and contaminants.
