  • Title: Improvement of water treatment performance by using polyamine flocculants.
    Author: Lee SH, Shin WS, Shin MC, Choi SJ, Park LS.
    Journal: Environ Technol; 2001 Jun; 22(6):653-9. PubMed ID: 11482385.
    Abstract:
    In this study, polyamine flocculants were synthesized and applied to Nak-dong river raw water in Korea to examine their efficiency in reducing turbidity, total organic carbon (TOC) and UV254. Synthesized polyamines were effective as flocculants for water treatment and the addition of organic polymer caused a reduction of 50-80% of the consumption of polyaluminium chloride (PAC). The effects of polyamine on the removal of turbidity, TOC and UV254 were investigated via both jar and pilot tests. The adsorption and separation mechanisms for the removal of turbidity and TOC by using the polymer flocculants were also observed.
