The flocculation of kaolin with polyacrylamides
Flocculation occurs when high molecular mass organic molecules form bridges between particles, causing them to aggregate. This modifies the sedimentation properties of the mineral slurry. Thus classical measures of flocculation, among them the settled bed height and the supernatant turbidity, have t...

| description | Flocculation occurs when high molecular mass organic molecules form bridges between particles, causing them to aggregate. This modifies the sedimentation properties of the mineral slurry. Thus classical measures of flocculation, among them the settled bed height and the supernatant turbidity, have tended to focus on the properties of the suspension rather than the flocculant. The kaolin - polyacrylamide system is investigated in this study. |
