Synthesis of polyelectrolytes and polymer complexes of aluminum pentahydroxochloride, study of their flocculation properties

Article preview

The kinetics of acrylamide polymerization in an aqueous solution of aluminum pentahydroxochloride representing a disperse system with polycharged aluminum aquahydroco-complexes as the main element was studied. The obtained reagent has a high efficiency in the separation of dispersed systems. The flocculation of activated sludge by polyelectrolyte copolymers based on poly-1,2-dimethyl-5-vinyl-pyridinium methyl sulfate was studied. The influence of flocculants on particle size distribution of activated sludge was studied by the method of optical microscopy and it was shown that the use of copolymers allows to increase the efficiency of dewatering and leads to the formation of strong floccules.

Pyridinium cationic polyelectrolytes in dispersion separation and wastewater treatment processes

Article preview

The features of flocculation of kaolin suspension by samples of homopolymer poly-1,2-dimethyl-5-vinyl-pyridinium methylsulfate and its copolymers with acrylamide, N-vinylpyrrolidone and vinyl acetate have been studied. High activity of poly-1,2-dimethyl-5-vinylpyridinium methylsulfate due to the formation of sufficiently large aggregates at low doses of flocculant was shown. It is also revealed that the synthesized copolymers and terpolymers in comparison with homopolymer have higher flocculating activity, which is characterized by a higher degree of suspension clarification. The reasons for the high flocculation activity of copolymers are related to the specific content and distribution of cationic centers in macromolecules. Additionally polyelectrolytes were investigated as dewatering agents in activated sludge treatment. The obtained results allowed to recommend the use of pyridinium polyelectrolytes as flocculants in the processes of water treatment of various origins.
