The process, known as clay flocculation, involves spraying a mixture of clay particles and seawater onto the red tide algae.

Flocculation: The subsequent process where destabilised particles form larger aggregates, or flocs, facilitating easier separation from water.

Ballasted flocculation represents a relatively new technology that shows promise of bringing improvements to the field of water and wastewater treatment. Ballasted flocculation involves the addition ...

The process involves spraying the surface of the water with clay particles and sea water, which can combine with red tide cells to kill and bury them in sediment.

Kabot likened the coagulation process to neutralizing negative magnets that would otherwise repel each other. Once the coagulants are added, particles in the water become larger, a process known as ...

Crystal Lake is home to a flocculation plant -- a system typically used for treating drinking water, but here, it's been key in the battle against blue-green algae.

The computer program ZB2 was used to study simulated coagulation, flocculation, and sedimentation. The effect of the initial velocity of soil particles on the values of reaction-rate constants was ...

This clumping process – flocculation – has been mostly ignored by scientists because lab strains don’t do it. Enter Scott Smukalla from Harvard University.
