Coagulation:  A clumping of particles in water and wastewater to settle out impurities; it is often induced by chemicals such as lime, alum, and iron salts. Condensation:  The process by which a vapor becomes a liquid.
Coagulation The clumping together of solids so they can more easily be settled out or filtered out of water. A chemical called aluminum sulfate (alum) is generally used to aid coagulation in water treatment and reclamation. Condensation ...
Coagulation a process that alters the surface charge on dispersed colloidal particles in a liquid so that they are able to agglomerate; the first stage in floc formation ...
Coagulation Many of the suspended water particles have a negative electrical charge. The charge keeps particles suspended because they repel similar particles.
Coagulation: In water treatment, the use of chemicals to make suspended solids gather or group together into small flocs Coalescence: Liquid particles in suspension that unite to create particles of a greater volume.
Coagulation: A joining together of particles that settle out in waste water. Lime, alum, and iron salts induce the clumping of particles. Combustion: Burning or rapid oxidation accompanied by a release of energy.
coagulation the clumping of particles in order to settle out impurities; often induced by chemicals such as lime or alum. coliform organisms ...
coagulation (co-AGG-yoo-LAY-shun). The clumping together of very fine particles into larger particles caused by the use of chemicals (coagulants).
coagulation A process using coagulant chemicals and mixing by which colloidal and lighter suspended materials are destabilized and agglomerated into flocs.
Coagulation Destabilisation of colloid particles by addition of a reactive chemical, called a coagulant. This happens through neutralization of the charges. More info on coagulation ...
Coagulation: The addition of coagulant particles to water to aid in removing suspended particles in the drinking water process. Collector: Aquatic insect that feeds by gathering detritus, bacteria, etc.
Coagulation Particle destabilization to enhance agglomeration. COD See chemical oxygen demand. ...
Aerosol Scavengers - Cloud droplets which attract an aerosol into snow, rain or some other water precipitate by coagulation and accretion.
Jar Test: A laboratory procedure that simulates a water treatment plant's coagulation/flocculation units with differing chemical doses, mix speeds, ...
Chemical treatment includes coagulation, chlorination, or ozonation. The term can also refer to treatment of toxic materials in surface and ground waters, oil spills, and some methods of dealing with hazardous materials on or in the ground.
conventional filtration : A method of treating water to remove particulates. The method consists of the addition of coagulant chemicals, flash mixing, coagulation flocculation, sedimentation and filtration.
Agglomeration - (Water Quality) The grouping of small suspended particles into larger particles that are more easily removed through filtration, skimming, or settling. Also see Coagulation.
Fine liquid or solid particles such as dust, smoke, mist, fumes, or smog, found in air or emissions. 2. Very small solids suspended in water; they can vary in size, shape, density and electrical charge and can be gathered together by coagulation and ...
