The effect of poly aluminum chloride with cationic or anionic polymers in treatment of deinked waste water has been studied. The experiments were carried out in jar tests with poly aluminum chloride dosages range of 5-20 mg/l, cationic or anionic polymers dosages range of 1-3 mg/l, pH range of 7.2-8.2, rapid mixing at 100rpm for 2minute, followed by slow mixing at 40 rpm for 10minute and settling for 20minute. The effectiveness of poly aluminum chloride with cationic or anionic polymers were measured based on reduction of turbidity and chemical oxygen demand. The combination of poly aluminum chloride with cationic or anionic polymers is found to give the increase efficiency of purification in the treatment of the deinked waste waters.it can achieve almost66.82 % of turbidity and 63.04 %ofchemical oxygen demand reduction at an optimum dosage of 15mg/l poly aluminum chloride with 3mg/l cationic polymers andpH of 8.2.Theresult suggests that the waste water purified can be used for internal process applications but for injection it to environments goals can be passed biological treatments.
