Unlocking the Potential of ACH: Water Treatment and Paper Manufacture

Aluminum Chlorohydrate (ACH) is an important coagulant used in water treatment. It is highly soluble in water, making it effective in various treatment scenarios. ACH is particularly notable for its high efficiency and good clarification effects, which are beneficial in industrial and sanitary wastewater treatment applications.

An advantage of ACH is its effectiveness over a broad pH range, which allows it to be used in diverse water treatment conditions. Due to its higher cationic aluminum content than other coagulants like Alum or PAC, its high-charge characteristics enable ACH to work effectively at lower dosages. As a result, ACH finds extensive use in urban water treatment, serving as a flocculant as it efficiently removes various organic matter, including iron, fluorine, cadmium, radioactive pollutants, and oil slicks.

ACH enhanced turbidity removal, faster flocculation, improved total organic carbon removal rates as well as mitigating the impact of pH value fluctuations and cost reduction has proven its utility in various municipal sewage and industrial wastewater treatment industries.  Printing and dyeing, precision casting, pharmaceuticals, paper, rubber, leather, petroleum, chemicals, and dye production industries use ACH is used in enhancing decolorization, removing total suspended solids, and extracting heavy and oil from suspended solids.

In the paper industry, it is utilized as a sizing agent for precipitators, adhesives, anionic waste scavengers, retention aids, filter aids, and additives for controlling resin barriers. Moreover, its use extends to the cosmetic industry, where it is an ingredient in various products, including antiperspirants and specialty cosmetics.
