  • Chimie
  • Traitement des eaux
CONT

Des polymères minéraux (silice activée) et des polymères naturels (amidon, alginate) ont d'abord été utilisés. Mais l'apparition de polymères de synthèse très diversifiés a fait évoluer considérablement les performances de la floculation.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Química

DEF

Polímero sin átomos de carbono en la cadena principal.

OBS

Ejemplos: polidiclorofosfazeno, polidimetilsiloxano. En los polímeros inorgánicos pueden estar presentes cadenas laterales de grupos orgánicos; en este caso, a veces se puede hacer referencia a los polímeros como "semiorgánicos".
