I have a question regarding the Niche field of water treatment. It’s such a specific type of chemistry and understanding. That it often is misrepresented or misunderstood.
In water treatment commonly the ones using Alum or ACH (aluminum Chlorohydrate) . To coagulate and cause floc to form, using Van Der Waals effect. This form of treatment process has been around for awhile, yet there isn’t much research or information on how it really works. Everything I found is just the concept’s and a lot is left up in the air as a “mystery”.
Does anyone have a good understanding of these processes or know of any sources that paint a clear understanding, and is backed by “science” in a sense?
