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 …

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 …

Here we introduce a distribution of floc fractal dimensions as opposed to a single fractal
dimension value into the floc settling velocity model developed in earlier studies. The …

This study sought to evaluate the effect of form and particle size distribution of formed flocs
during flocculation on the removal of particulate matter (PM) by settling. The understanding …

Sedimentation processes are fundamental to solids/liquid separation in water and
wastewater treatment, and therefore a robust understanding of the settlement characteristics …

This paper examines the implications of pretreatment in the context of the likely behaviour of
flocs in DAF units. Evidence indicates that the maximum floc size (d max) of alumino-humic …

Floc structure plays an important role in the separation of coal wastewater. In this study, a
camera-based method is used to evaluate quantitatively the structural characteristics of flocs …

The use of static light scattering in gaining insight into the structure of colloidal and “post-
colloidal” aggregates is examined in this paper. Results for a variety of colloidal systems …

This study sought to evaluate the effect of form and particle size distribution of formed flocs
during flocculation on the removal of particulate matter (PM) by settling. The understanding …

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 …
