What are typical applications of polymers in water treatment?
– Natural impurities in water (dissolved organic compounds or COD, insoluble impurities, soluble organic. – Primary coagulation in drinking water treatment. – Flocculation in drinking water treatment. – Water treatment in aquaculture. – Primary coagulation in industrial wastewater treatment. – Advanced primary treatment of sewage. – Flocculation industrial wastewater treatment (textile, dye, milk industries). – Weighted flocculation (cationic polymer with a recyclable magnetic coagulant). – Sludge thickening (high degree of concentration is obtained with tailor-made polymers). – Mining industry applications. – Metal ions removal.
