Agglomeration,
Gelatinous,
Aeration
The large particles produced from coagulated particles binding together.
clumps of impurities removed from water during its treatment; they form when a coagulant is added to raw water.
An agglomeration of finely divided suspended particles in a larger, usually gelatinous particle the result of physical attraction or adhesion to a coagulant compound.
The large particles formed in water and wastewater treatment processes when small particles begin to coalesce.
Loose, open-structured mass formed in a suspension by the aggregation of minute particles.
a small loosely aggregated mass of flocculent material suspended in or precipitated from a liquid
The agglomeration of smaller particles in a gelatinuous mss having the feature of being more easily removed from the liquid than the individual small particles.
Groups or clumps of bacteria and particles that have come together and formed a cluster. Found in aeration tanks and secondary clarifiers.
The aggregation of a number of fine suspended floating particles.
Clumps of bacteria and particles that have come together to form clusters, or small gelatinous masses that are amenable to settling and/or filtration. Alum is used to aid the floc formation process.
(See flocculation) - The clump or tuft formed when suspended particles combine with a flocculating agent.
a tuft-like mass of particles formed in water treatment.
Collection of smaller particles that have come together into larger particles.
Clumps of bacteria and particles that have come together to form clusters, or small gelatinous masses. The floc mass in an activated sludge aeration tank generally consists of microorganisms.
The clumping of particles when a flocculating agent is added to the water.
A cluster of frazil particles.
clumps of impurities removed from water during the purification process; formed when alum is added to impure water
Coagulated mass of particles settling down to the bottom, which were formerly divided and suspended in a liquid.
The clump or aggregate formed when suspended particles combine with a flocculating agent. See
solids formed by chemical, biological, or physical agglomeration of fine materials into larger masses that are more readily separated from the liquid. The process is called flocculation. b c
Small, gelatinous masses formed in water by adding a coagulant, or in wastewater through biological activity.
Clumps of bacteria and particles or coagulants and impurities that have come together and formed a cluster. Found in aeration tanks, secondary clarifiers and chemical precipitation processes.
As relates to water treatment, avery fine, fluffy-type mass formed by the coming together of a number of fine suspended particles. A floc can occur naturally, but most frequently it is induced by the addition of a coagulant/flocculent to raw water which contains undesirable turbidity or color.
A very fine, fluffy-type mass formed by the coming together of a number of fine suspended particles.
The attracted particles that begin to form into collections of material.
A clump of solids formed in sewage by biological or chemical action.
