This study on the effects of A1/Fe molar ratio on the performance of a complex compound formed by polysilicic acid, aluminium and ferric salt (PAFS) showed that PAFS with A1/Fe ratio of 10:3 seemed to have the best coagulation performance in removing turbidity and color. Experimental results showed that under the conditions of polymerization time of 15 d, sedimentation time of 12 min, and pH of 6-8,PAFS with A1/Fe molar ratio of 10:3 had the best coagulation efficiency and lowest residual A1 concentration. The turbidity decreased from 23.8 NTU to 3.23 NTU and the residual A1 concentration was only 0.165 mg/L in the product water. It could be speculated that colloidal impurities and particulate A1 were removed by adsorption bridging and electrical neutralization of long chain inorganic polymer coagulants.展开更多
