Water Treatment Chemicals: Safeguarding Every Drop of Clean Water
Why Are Water Treatment Chemicals Needed?
Natural water sources may contain bacteria, heavy metals, and suspended solids. Water treatment chemicals purify water through coagulation, disinfection, and corrosion inhibition.
Key Types & Functions
- Coagulants (e.g., PAC): Aggregate suspended particles for easier filtration.
- Disinfectants (e.g., sodium hypochlorite): Kill harmful microorganisms.
- Corrosion Inhibitors: Prevent rust in industrial pipelines.
Future Challenges
Stricter environmental regulations are driving demand for low-toxicity, biodegradable alternatives (e.g., chitosan-based coagulants).
