When the flocculant is used excessively or the concentration is too high, it may cause some problems, such as an increase in sediment and an increase in solution viscosity. In response to this situation, the following handling methods can be considered:
Dilution solution: Dilute the solution containing a high concentration of flocculant appropriately to reduce its concentration. An appropriate amount of solvent (such as water) can be gradually added to the solution, while stirring evenly to reduce the concentration of the flocculant to a suitable range.
Adjusting pH value: The performance of flocculants is often closely related to the pH value of the solution. By adjusting the pH value of the solution, the effectiveness of the flocculant can be affected. If the flocculant is too high, you can try adjusting the acidity and alkalinity of the solution to approach the optimal working pH range of the flocculant.
Adding a dispersant: A dispersant is a chemical substance that can improve solution fluidity and reduce viscosity. If the flocculant is too high and leads to an increase in solution viscosity, it can be considered to add an appropriate amount of dispersant to improve the fluidity of the solution.
Screening for more suitable flocculants: If the flocculant is too high to solve the problem, it can be considered to replace or adjust the type of flocculant used. Different flocculants have different adaptability to different solutions, and choosing the appropriate flocculant can avoid problems caused by high concentrations.
It should be noted that when dealing with the issue of excessive flocculants, the actual concentration and target application of the flocculant should be evaluated first, and appropriate treatment methods should be taken based on the specific situation. If the problem is not handled properly or cannot be solved, it is recommended to consult professionals or manufacturers for their advice and guidance.
