Polyaluminum chloride is an inorganic polymer flocculant between aluminum chloride (AlCl3) and aluminum hydroxide (Al(OH)3). It forms a highly charged polymeric cyclic chain structure through hydroxyl bridging, featuring strong electrical neutralization and adsorption-bridging capacity. Its hydrolyzed solution is weakly acidic with excellent stability and a wide applicable pH range of 4 to 9.
