univalent metals, especially aluminum potassium sulfate, AlK(SO4)2·12H2O, a white, crystalline

compound. Alums have the general formula M2SO4·MIII2(SO4)3·24H2O, where M is one of alkali

metals (potassium, sodium, rubidium, caesium, silver. thallium or ammonium), and M III denotes

one of the trivalent cation (e.g., aluminum, chromium, iron, manganese, cobalt, or titanium).

In aqueous solution, alums show all the chemical properties that their components show

separately. These salts are used in water purification, leather tanning, coagulation agent for

rubber latex, setting dyes (mordant), fireproofing textiles, modifying concrete, baking powder,

preparation of lakes, clarifying of turbid liquids and as astringents.

Flocculants are used in water treatment. The addition of flocculants to raw water causes

9

colloids and other suspended particles to stick together and form heavier particles (floc)

which will be removed by the sedimentation or filterability. This flocculation (or called

coagulation) process is to aid the removal of contaminants like fine solid pollutants or

microscopic molecules which are difficult or impossible to be removed by filtration alone.

Generally flocculants are multivalent cations such as aluminium, iron, calcium or magnesium.

Many of the suspended water particles have a negative electrical charge which repels each

other. Positively charged flocculants attract and stick to many of the suspended water

particles. Many of flocculant s cations, under appropriate pH and other conditions, react with

water to form insoluble hydroxides which join together to form larger settleable particles or

physically traps small particles into the larger floc. There are organic flocculants also. The most

common and powerful organic flocculant is polyacrylamide which have the long-chain to

trap small particles into the larger floc. One of the common coagulants is aluminum sulfate

which ,under neutral or slightly-alkaline conditions, reacts with water to form gelatinous

precipitate of aluminum hydroxide. Polyaluminum chloride (PAC) of the general formula

AlnCl(3n-m)(OH)m is useful as this compound have a wide range of pH value according to the

subscripts n and m. The actual pH correlates to the formula m/(3n). It provides a choice for the

exact pH value applications. The most common PAC for water purification is Al12Cl12(OH)24. The

form of Al2Cl(OH)5 is used as a deodorant and an antiperspirant. Other modified PAC

compouinds include polyaluminum hydroxidechloride silicate (PACS) and polyaluminum

hydroxidechloride silicate sulfate (PASS). Members of flocculants include:

Alum Aluminum sulfate Calcium oxide Iron chloride Iron sulfate Polyacrylamide Polyaluminum chloride Polyaluminum hydroxidechloride silicate sulfate Polyaluminum hydroxidechloride silicate Sodium aluminate Sodium silicate

PAC is also used in reducing the need of pH adjustment and is often employed in

the place where the pH of the receiving stream is higher than 7.5. PAC is also used in the pulp

(or paper) industry as a size bonding agent, drainage work aid and surface trash scavenger.
