Characterization of particles and their relation with residual aluminum in water treated with pulsating floc blanket clarifiers and conventional clariflocculators using PACl
A pulsating floc blanket clarifier (PFBC) employing cyclic contractions and rarefactions to a bed of densely concentrated suspension of flocculated particles in a fluidized state, was compared with conventional clariflocculator (CC) at pilot scale (8,000 L/day) in continuous mode of operation. For influent turbidity varied from 2 to 20 NTU, coagulation-flocculation behavior exhibited under the two fundamentally different treatment processes with PACl influenced inter-related performance parameters. The residual turbidity was found to be lower by 74%, flocs and fine colloids in suspension larger by 73 and 75% respectively, and the total and dissolved residual aluminum lower by 50 and 49% respectively on average for PFBC compared to CC. Particulate form comprised major fraction (≈72%) of total residual aluminum for both. PFBC abetted formation of a more consolidated floc structure, which rendered the shape, size and morphology such that the settling velocity was 50% to 410% higher than that of the CC flocs. Reaction-limited aggregation (RLA) process and inter-particle bridging were dominant and the resulting floc structure and its formation mechanism have been presented. HIGHLIGHTS Pulsating floc blanket significantly alters the floc characteristics.; Pulsating action of the floc blanket affects aggregation patterns at submicron levels.; PFBCs give lower turbidity and residual aluminum compared to CCs.; Particulate form comprises major fraction (≈ 72%) of total residual aluminum.; Inter-particle bridging and reaction-limited aggregation (RLA) dominate at pilot-scale with PACl.;
