CLARIFICATION OF POTOMAC RIVER WATER WITH CATIONIC POLYELECTROLYTES

Abstract

It is shown that, for the clarification of a natural water, a cationic polyelectrolyte of the poly-quaternary ammonium type can, even in the presence of normal amounts of chlorine, act effectively as a sole coagulant. It can replace a conventional metal salt in a system comprised of a solids-contact upflow type coagulation basin and a pressure-diatomite filter.
