Flocculation behavior of colloidal suspension by use of inorganic and polymer flocculants in powder form

The clarification method by using composite dry powdered flocculants consisting of inorganic flocculant, polymer flocculant and flocculation aid has been proposed in the literature. Such composite flocculants are conveniently used in the flocculation process of small volume suspensions; i.e. the composite...

Such composite flocculants are conveniently used in the flocculation process of small volume suspensions; i.e. the composite dry powdered flocculants are added directly to a suspension. However, very limited work has been reported on the flocculation behavior when composite flocculants are used in powder form. In this study, the effect of both dosages of dry powdered inorganic flocculant and ionic polymer flocculant on turbidity removal of PMMA suspension is investigated. Floc characteristics, such as sludge volume and floc strength, are also discussed. It is found that there exist various combinations of inorganic and polymer flocculant dosages resulting in sufficient turbidity removal; as the dosage of inorganic flocculant is increased, the suitable dosage of ionic polymer flocculant is also increased for better turbidity removal.
