Mechanisms of aggregation Sinkden
Last Updated March 29, 2024
Mechanisms of aggregation Sinkden
- Suspended matter (turbulent components) in raw water are usually repulsive and dispersed.
- When a flocculant is injected here, the flocculant sticks to the surface of the turbidity component, eliminating the repulsion of the turbidity component, and the turbid components form a lump. In addition, stirring and stacks collide and grow into a large lump (flock).
- The large flocs become heavy and makes it easier to sink.
Experiment of aggregation and sinking experiment
①It's cloudy condition. I'll put a flocculant here.
②After stirring with a flocculant, turbidity components stick together to form a lump (flock) is formed.
③The lump (flock) grows larger, becomes heavier and sinks.
