Abstract

A novel composite flocculant was successfully prepared based on polymeric aluminum chloride (PAC) and carboxymethy1 chitosan (CMCS). The flocculation behaviors of the PAC/CMCS products were studied and evaluated by the removal rate of COD and turbidity of domestic wastewater. The result indicates that the process parameters have remarkable effect on the coagulating activity of PAC/CMCS flocculant. It achieved the best coagulating effect when the dose ratios of PAC to CMCS was 2:1, the reaction time was 0.5 h, the reaction temperature was 30 °C and pH value was adjusted to 4. In addition, the PAC/CMCS composite flocculant exhibited much enhanced flocculation performance compared with the conventional single flocculant such as polymeric aluminum chloride or carboxymethyl chitosan.
