The combination of small particles to form larger structures is important in a broad range of
natural processes, including the flocculation of organic and mineral particles in rivers …

This paper is mainly a review of the author's previous research, which was aimed at
establishing a theoretical protocol for the design and operation of flocculators based on data …

Work of the last 10 years has demonstrated that oceanic particle size distribution by volume
tends to be flat at mid-water depths (equivalent to a cumulative particle number distribution …

Floc breakup theories are developed for the complex activated sludge floc and they are
applied as well to inorganic chemical flocs. Rate expressions were developed for two modes …

The unit process approach, common in the field of chemical engineering, was introduced
about 1962 to the field of environmental engineering. An understanding of unit processes is …

Carefully designed to balance coverage of theoretical and practical principles,
Fundamentals of Water Treatment Unit Processes delineates the principles that support …

First published in 1995, the award-winning Civil Engineering Handbook soon became
known as the field's definitive reference. To retain its standing as a complete, authoritative …

Some characteristics of floc density were illuminated by experiments and model floc
simulation by using clay-aluminium flocs. As an aluminium floc is a very fragile particle, the …

A review is given of aggregation phenomena for fine-grained sediments in estuarine
systems. Besides other important factors it is shown that the aggregation of fine sediment …

Introduction The geometric characteristics of particle aggregates generated in waterand
wastewater treatment processes are difficult to describe because of their highly irregular and …
