Publication number: 20230278898Abstract: The present disclosure provides a polyzirconium coagulant obtained by performing a controllable hydrolytic polymerization reaction on a simple zirconium salt. The polyzirconium coagulant has a good coagulation performance when removing turbidity, organic matter, phosphate, and fluoride from water body. The coagulation effluent has a low concentration of residual metal and a mild change of pH. At the same dose, compared with a simple zirconium salt and polymerized zirconium chloride with a low polymerization degree, the polyzirconium coagulant prepared by the present disclosure has a wider workable pH and dose range. Besides, compared with other metal salt coagulants, the coagulant prepared by the present disclosure has a better decontamination performance. In addition, by using the polyzirconium coagulant prepared by the present disclosure, the floc has a large size and is rapid to settle. The residual zirconium concentration is low, and pollutant removal efficiency is high.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 2, 2023Publication date: September 7, 2023Applicant: Nanjing UniversityInventors: Shujuan ZHANG, Yonghai GAN, Yanying CHEN, Zhihao HANG, Bingcai PAN
