    A new type of inorganic flocculant, poly silicon boron ferric zinc sulfate (PSBFZ), was synthesized from sodium silicate, ferric sulfate, zinc sulfate and sodium tetraborate by co polymerization. Its structure was characterized by FTIR, XRD, suggesting that PSBFZ is a complex compound with mainly boron-ferric-zinc-silicon polymeric species rather than a simple mixture of raw materials. Comparative flocculation behaviors among polyaluminium chloride (PAC), polyferric sulfate (PFS), poly silicate ferric (PSF) and PSBFZ were explored to treat practical wastewater, such as dyeing and printing wastewater, landscape wastewater and landfill leachate. The results demonstrate that PSBFZ exhibits the best flocculation performance. Under the optimum conditions, the removal rate of COD is up to 92.2%, 88.1% and 67.4% respectively. The removal rate of chromaticity from dyeing and printing wastewater and landfill leachate achieve 95.4% and 90.1% while the removal rate of turbidity for landscape wastewater is up to 99.3%.
