1. What impact does the use of anionic and cationic flocculants have on the water quality of the system?
Affected by coal quality, the type and dosage of chemicals are generally determined through flocculation tests
When changing the chemicals, does replacing cations with anions have an impact on water quality, such as pH?
Anionic flocculants are more expensive but offer better performance; their mechanism of action differs from that of cationic agents.
It seems that flocculants don’t have much impact on pH. Changing the flocculant affects the sedimentation efficiency; it appears that cationic flocculants are more expensive, by two to three times.
