Polyaluminum chloride (PAC), as an important water treatment chemical, is widely used in the purification process of drinking water and sewage. However, while it enhances water quality, it may also raise environmental concerns.
Polyaluminium chloride is an inorganic polymer composed of aluminum and chlorine elements. It has strong cohesion and precipitation properties in water. This characteristic enables PAC to efficiently remove suspended solids, pigments and other pollutants from water.
PAC is used in many industries, especially in the fields of tap water and wastewater treatment, and has become an important chemical agent for improving water quality. Ay evaluating the effectiveness of its application, we found that polyaluminium chloride can significantly reduce the content of heavy metals in water, thus protecting the water environment.
Although the application of polyaluminum chloride in water treatment effectively solves various problems, the environmental impact during its use cannot be ignored. Research shows that if not handled properly, PAC may lead to eutrophication of soil and water bodies, thereby affecting the stability of the ecosystem.
In order to achieve sustainable development, the use of polyaluminum chloride needs to be combined with environmental protection. Reasonable use methods and treatment techniques can reduce its negative impact on the environment. Promoting the optimization of the use process of polyaluminium chloride in the water treatment industry will be one of the keys to the future development of the industry.
The effective application of polyaluminum chloride in the field of water treatment not only improves water quality, but also requires attention to its environmental impact. Only through scientific research and technological innovation can it better play its role in sustainable development.
