Flocculants are crucial agents used in water and wastewater treatment processes to enhance the removal of suspended particles and contaminants. They function by neutralizing the electrical charges on particles, which causes the particles to aggregate into larger, more easily separable clumps known as "flocs." This aggregation process improves the efficiency of various water treatment methods, such as sedimentation, filtration, and flotation, by accelerating the settling and separation of solids from liquids.
Flocculants play an essential role in optimizing water treatment processes, making them more efficient, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective.
