Flocculation
1. Hydrophobic ( water-hating):
2. Flocculation:
▪ Inorganic salts
vi. Analyze for pH, turbidity, alkalinity etc. and find the
optimum dose according to the desired requirements.
Methods to Destabilize Colloids
(Coagulation Processes):
Coagulation and flocculation can be caused by any of
the following:
– Water depth 3 to 5 m
1. Perikinetic Flocculation
• For small particles < 0.1 μm
• Primary mechanism: Brownian movement
• Form flocs ranging from 1 to 100 μm
1. Perikinetic Flocculation
• During perikinetic floc formation, particles
collide as a result of Brownian motion.
