J.K. Chemicals,

Company Description

JK Chemicals supplies all kinds of Industrial Chemicals, Acids, Flocculants and Preservatives.

Decription:
Flocculants are charged polymers used in industry for clarifying suspensions. They cause suspended colloidal matter to aggregate, forming particles that are large enough to settle out under gravity.

Both cationic polymers (containing positive charges) and anionic polymers (containing negative charges) are used for different applications.

A typical anionic flocculant is a copolymer of acrylamide and acrylic acid, made by inverse emulsion polymerization.

The essential mechanisms by which flocculants work are charge neutralisation and bridging.

Charge neutralisation allows particles to get closer to each other by reducing the electrostatic interactions betJ.K. Chemicals,en them - when they can approach more closely, they can join together coagulate).

Bridging flocculation involves polymer chains sticking to multiple particles, making an aggregate large enough to settle out.
