Abstract

To investigate the qualitative and quantitative analysis methods for the components in aluminum sulfate/poly dimethyl diallyl ammonium chloride (AS/PDMDAAC) composite coagulant, the existed analytical methods for analyzing independent component AS and PDMDAAC in literatures were reviewed and a three-principles to select appropriate methods from them for the components in the composite was proposed. Based on these principles, suitable matched methods were identified and then ranked according to their practicality. A preliminary feasibility analysis was performed on Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), which is recommended as the preferred analytical method.
