Abstract

Polyaluminium chloride solutions may tend to be unstable in storage particularly those having a high basicity or charge density. This may markedly reduce the efficiency of the flocculant. The invention provides an aqueous polyaluminium chloride flocculant solution containing a stabilising quantity of a dissolved boron compound or compounds such as, for example, the boric acids or salts. The stabiliser may be included during the production of the focculant or to an existing flocculant.

Claims

1 6AMENDED CLAIMS[received by the International Bureau on 13 June 2001 (13.06.01); original claims 1 -7 amended; remaining claims unchanged (2 pages)]
1. A charge-augmented stabilized flocculant solution comprising an aqueous polyaluminium chloride flocculant solution having dissolved therein a stabilizing quantity of a boron compound or compounds and one or more magnesium and/or calcium carbonate materials.
2. A charge-augmented stabilized flocculant solution as claimed in claim 1 wherein the boron compound or compounds are selected from oxy-acids of boron, and their soluble salts.
3. A charge-augmented stabilized flocculant solution as claimed in claim 1 or claim 2 wherein the boron compound or compounds are selected from boric acid, salts of boric acid, metaborates, tetraborates and pyroborates.
4. A charge-augmented stabilized flocculant solution as claimed in any preceding claim wherein the boron compound or compounds are present in from 0.05% to 10 A charge- augmented stabilized flocculant solution as claimed in claim% by weight of the polyaluminium chloride flocculant solution calculated as boric acid.
5. A charge-augmented stabilized flocculant solution as claimed in any preceding claim having a cationic charge density of at least 750 m eq./Kg.
6. A process for the production of a charge- augmented stabilized flocculant solution comprising dissolving in a polyaluminium chloride solution, or ina basified aluminium chloride solution, or in an acidic aluminium chloride solution containing free HC1, a stabilizing quantity of a boron compound or compounds and one or more magnesium and/or calcium carbonate materials.
7. A process as claimed in claim 6 wherein the amount of dissolved magnesium carbonate and/or calcium carbonate is sufficient to augment the cationic charge density of the flocculant to at least 750 m.eq./Kg. 17
8. A process as claimed in claim 7 wherein the polyaluminium chloride or aluminium chloride solution has a total organic carbon content of over 100 micrograms/litre.
9. A process for the treatment of water or an aqueous effluent by mixing with the water or effluent a composition as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 5, allowing flocculation to occur and separating the supernatant liquid.
10. A process as claimed in claim 9 wherein the water or effluent has a pH of below 7.
11. A composition as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 5, or a process as claimed in any one of claims 6 to 10, and substantially as described herein.
12. A composition or process as claimed in claim 11 and substantially as described in any one of Examples 2 to 13.
