Powdered polyelectrolytes are polyelectrolytes with a particle size of up to 2 mm and their physical form in the appearance of granulated sugar. Powder polyelectrolytes are divided into three categories as anionic, cationic and non-ionic according to the charge characteristics they carry. Powdered polyelectrolytes are not used in the forms they are supplied, they are dosed into the stream from the appropriate point after their solutions are formed with water.
Anionic polyelectrolytes are polyelectrolyte derivatives that are generally used as flocculant in the treatment of KOI, AKM, heavy metals and colloids in water treatment processes originating from chemical treatment and mining activities, and in ore recovery. It is possible to see that they are used in sludge dewatering in some exceptional processes, although very rarely .
