Abstract:
A new type of polyaluminum silicate chloride [PASC(A)] was prepared by employing tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) as silicon source. By comparing PASC(A) with the conventional product [PASC(B)], the effects of B value and Si/Al molar ratio on the pH value and the Zeta potential of PASC(A) were investigated. The influence of the incorporation of silicon into PASC on the molecular structure and aluminium species was also studied by acidification method and 27Al NMR spectroscopy. The results show that the PASC(A) has higher polymerization degree, narrow distribution of molecular weight and symmetrical distribution of aluminium and silicon in PASC molecule. It is more difficult to be acidified, and moreover, it can reduce the loss of Al13 species. All the above advantages of PASC(A) are due to its special synthesis method.
