Polyelectrolyte
Description :
Overview of Polyelectrolyte
Polyelectrolyte (including anionic, cationic, and non-ionic types) is a high-molecular-weight water-soluble polymer used as a flocculant and coagulant aid in water and wastewater treatment. Polyelectrolyte powder is the most common form for easy handling and dosing.
Polyelectrolyte formula: Typically based on polyacrylamide (PAM) derivatives. Polyelectrolyte in water treatment: Enhances particle aggregation and sedimentation.
Applications of Polyelectrolyte
Wastewater and Water Treatment
-
Polyelectrolyte used in wastewater treatment: Sludge dewatering, clarification, and turbidity reduction
-
Polyelectrolyte powder: Effective for primary/secondary/tertiary treatment in ETPs and STPs
Industrial Sectors
-
Paper and pulp mining and textiles: Retention drainage and solid-liquid separation
-
Sometimes, it is combined with fillers such as Calcite Powder to provide greater clarity in processing
