The efficacy and application prospects of silica sol in water treatment
Release date:
2026-01-09
The sol exhibits a porous structure and nanoscale effects, with its surface containing abundant hydroxyl and silanol groups. These groups can form stable complexes with ions in water, enabling the sol to adsorb suspended particles and organic substances from water. As a result, it finds wide-ranging applications in water purification, industrial wastewater treatment, and municipal sewage treatment.

Adsorption: Silica sol can form stable complexes with heavy metal ions, thereby removing them from solution. It can also adsorb organic substances and remove them from water through both physical and chemical interactions.
Flocculation: By compressing the electrical double layer, achieving charge neutralization, and leveraging the bridging effect of polymer chains, suspended solids and colloidal particles in wastewater are induced to lose their stable state and subsequently settle out and precipitate.
Filtering auxiliary function: A porous layer is formed on the filter medium, enhancing particle capture efficiency, increasing the throughput of the filtration system, and improving the efficiency and quality of water treatment.
