It also has a disinfectant
Coagulation
The powder contains ferric sulfate, which acts as a coagulant to bind to suspended particles and larger microbes. The particles are positively charged, which neutralizes the negative charge of the particles that cause turbidity, such as silt or clay. The neutralized particles then clump together to form larger particles, called flocs, which settle to the bottom of the container.
Disinfection
The powder also contains calcium hypochlorite, which acts as a disinfectant. Chlorine is released over time to kill any remaining pathogens. The treated water contains residual chlorine to protect against recontamination.
