The different coagulation-flocculation behavior of iron(III) and aluminum(III) to coagulate silica particle suspension with four coagulants - FeCl3, Fe-2(SO4)(3), AlCl3, and in our laboratory produced polyaluminum chloride PACl-2.0 - was investigated through studying particle property changes and coagulation efficiency, for example, variations in zeta potential of particles, particle number, average particle diameter, particle size distribution, and residual turbidity of the supernatant water. Influences of flocculation intensity and pH value on the coagulation-flocculation process were also studied. The results suggest that, under the test conditions, among these four coagulants FeCl3 possesses an obviously stronger ability to form larger flocs and to remove turbidity, on the other hand, PACl-2.0 obviously showed a better charge neutralization ability.
