Flocculants play an important role in water treatment by joining particles to create larger clusters which make it easier to remove them from the water. The incorporation of flocculants in water treatment is essential to ensure that water, whether used for purposes municipal supply or wastewater treatment meets the quality standards. Understanding Flocculants in Water Treatment Flocculants operate by neutralizing out the charges in suspended particles, which enable them to cluster and create flocs. These flocs can be eliminated through sedimentation, flotation or filtration. The primary varieties of flocculants employed in water treatment include: Inorganic Flocculants: Usually metal salts, like alum [...]
