Flocs in Water Treatment is the first of its kind-serving as a valuable aide-mémoire for
scientists, process engineers and other professionals engaged in water treatment. The …

The process of flocculation is the gathering together or aggregation of small masses, usually
in a liquid media, into larger masses called flocs. Although this definition is generally …

The paper focuses on the properties of flocs that are required to service the needs of solid–
liquid separation in conventional treatment units. Beyond the basic requirements of …

Coagulation and flocculation constitute the backbone processes in most water and
advanced wastewater treatment plants. Their objective is to enhance the separation of …

Removal of natural organic matter (NOM) is well established using metal salt coagulants. In
addition, flocculant aids are also commonly used to improve solid removal. The objectives of …

Particle flocculation with chemical flocculant addition is an essential step in water treatment.
The performance of flocculation and the property of the flocs formed affect the overall results …

The breakage of flocs is dependent upon the strength of the bonds holding the aggregate
together. The present work describes the breakage and re-growth behaviour of three …

Coagulation and flocculation play a dominant role in many water and wastewater treatment,
schemes. Because of a complex interdependence of numerous factors inherent in the …

Flocculation (aggregation) of particles is a vital stage in many solid‐liquid separation
operations. The process usually involves some form of chemical destabilization and a step …

Flocculation is a widely used phase separation technique in industrial unit processes and is
typically observed in many natural flow systems. Advances in colloidal chemistry over the …
