Introduction Coagulation and flocculation are two essential processes used in water and wastewater treatment to remove suspended particles and impurities. While both processes aim to improve water quality, they differ in their mechanisms and applications. In this article, we will explore the attributes of coagulation and flocculation, highlighting their differences and similarities. Coagulation Coagulation is the process of destabilizing and aggregating colloidal particles in water to form ... Flocculation is the process of aggregating small particles in a liquid into larger clusters, which can then be easily removed. Learn how flocculation works, what factors affect it, and what industries use it in this blog post. Flocculation is defined as the process by which bacteria form aggregates or clumps, often in response to environmental signals, including those related to surface sensing and biofilm formation. AI generated definition based on: Trends in Microbiology, 2014 Flocculation is a process of gathering small particles in water to become bigger ones called flocs. Collected flocs in water will float or sink, making them easier to collect.
