The main focus of the paper is to review current understanding of floc structure and strength.
This has been done by reviewing current theoretical understanding of floc growth and …

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a rapidly emerging field in wastewater treatment
(WWT), with application to almost all unit processes. This paper provides an overview of …

Aggregation and breakage of aggregates produced from fully destabilized polystyrene latex
particles in turbulent flow was studied experimentally in both batch and continuous stirred …

Flocculation occurring in a feedwell plays a critical role in tailings slurry thickening process,
which is complicated and significantly influenced by flow characteristics. This work presents …

Biofilm-coated microplastics are omnipresent in aquatic environments, carrying different
organic matter (OM) that in turn influences the flocculation and settling of microplastic …

This study investigated the impact of turbulent heterogeneity in a flocculation reactor on
particle aggregation and breakup. In particular, the influence of average characteristic …

A review is presented of a range of techniques for the structural characterisation of flocs.
Flocs may be considered as highly porous aggregates composed of smaller primary …

The size and structure of flocs during floc formation were monitored for various coagulation
mechanisms. Two distinctive mechanisms, namely, enmeshment and electrostatic patch …

The aim of this paper is to relate flocculation to hydrodynamics in a Taylor–Couette reactor
and in a jar. Hydrodynamics is first studied experimentally with a particle image velocimetry …

This study focuses on the relation among hydrodynamics, physicochemical conditions, and
floc size. During ortho-kinetic flocculation, the floc size is controlled by a balance between …
