Aqueous basic polyaluminum-iron halide solutions

摘要

Aqueous basic polyaluminum-iron halide solutions, useful as coagulants in waste water treatment are disclosed. The polyaluminum-iron halide solution is prepared by reacting an aqueous polyaluminum halide solution with one or more members of the group consisting of ferrous halide and ferric halide resulting in a solution containing a concentration of metal ions ranging from about 1.35 to 4.5 mol/liter as a dissolved salt of the formula Al1-xFexIIIFeyII(OH)3+2y-zHalz wherein Hal is chlorine, bromine, iodine or mixtures thereof; (x+y)/(1-x) is about 0.2 to 1.5; 3+2y-z/3+2y is about 0.24 to 0.67; and z is less than 3+2y. Alternatively, the coagulant solution is prepared by reacting an aqueous aluminum halide solution or low basic polyaluminum halide solution with iron. Preferably the halide employed is chloride.
