Water treatment chemicals encompass a wide
range of substances used to improve the quality and safety of water by removing
contaminants, pathogens, and impurities. These chemicals are essential for
various water treatment processes, including purification, disinfection,
filtration, and corrosion control. Here are some common types of water
treatment chemicals:
Chlorine-based Disinfectants (CAS#-7681-52-9| 7778-54-3| 7782-50-5| 127-65-1| 87-90-1)
Examples: Chlorine gas, sodium hypochlorite,
chlorine dioxide.
Function: Kill or deactivate pathogenic
microorganisms (e.g., bacteria, viruses, protozoa) in water to prevent
waterborne diseases.
Polyaluminum Chloride (PAC) (CAS# - 1327-41-9)
Function: Coagulant used to destabilize and
aggregate suspended particles and colloids in water, facilitating their removal
by sedimentation or filtration.
Polyacrylamide (PAM) (CAS# - 9003-05-8)
Function: Flocculant used to promote the
aggregation and settling of suspended particles and flocs in water, improving
water clarity.
Activated Carbon (CAS# - 7440-44-0
Function: Adsorbent used to remove organic
contaminants, odors, colors, and tastes from water by adsorption.
Sodium Hydroxide (Caustic Soda) - NaOH (CAS# - 1310-73-2)
Function: pH adjuster used to control and
optimize the pH level of water during treatment processes.
Hydrogen Peroxide - H2O2 (CAS# - 7722-84-1)
Function: Disinfectant and oxidizing agent
used to kill microorganisms and oxidize organic and inorganic contaminants in
water.
Sulfuric Acid - H2SO4 (CAS# - 7664-93-9)
Function: pH adjuster used to lower the pH of
water and neutralize alkaline substances during treatment processes.
Sodium Hypochlorite (Bleach) - NaClO (CAS# - 7681-52-9)
Function: Chlorine-based disinfectant used to
kill microorganisms and sanitize water.
Ferric Chloride - FeCl3 (CAS# - 7705-08-0)
Function: Coagulant used for the removal of
suspended solids, color, and phosphorus from water.
Calcium Hypochlorite - Ca(ClO)2 (CAS# - 7778-54-3)
Function: Chlorine-based disinfectant used
for the disinfection of water and wastewater.
