Aluminum Sulfate (Alum) – Technical & Water Treatment Grade
Aluminum Sulfate (commonly known as Alum) is a highly effective, industrial-grade coagulant widely utilized across municipal, agricultural, and industrial sectors. As a primary treatment chemical, it is critical for purifying water, managing wastewater, and stabilizing soil. Brand Chemical Supplies provides high-purity Aluminum Sulfate designed to meet the rigorous demands of South Africa’s mining, agricultural, and water treatment industries .
Key Applications
-
- Municipal Water Purification: Acts as a primary coagulant to aggregate microscopic suspended particles, organic matter, and pathogens into larger “flocs” for easy filtration and sedimentation.
- Industrial Wastewater Treatment: Clarifies effluent water by neutralizing charges on suspended solids, allowing businesses to meet strict environmental compliance and discharge standards [Image 6].
- Agricultural & Soil Conditioning: Used to reduce pH levels in highly alkaline soils and to control phosphorus levels in agricultural runoff and livestock waste management [Image 6].
- Pulp & Paper Manufacturing: Serves as a critical sizing agent to facilitate rosin binding, improve paper strength, and clarify process water.
