Flocculation is a process where fine particles clump together to form larger aggregates, known as flocs. This occurs when certain chemicals, called flocculants, are added to a liquid, causing the particles to stick together due to attractive forces. Flocculation is commonly used in water treatment, where it helps remove impurities and sediments from drinking water. In addition to water treatment, flocculation is also important in various industries, such as mining and food processing. In these contexts, it aids in separating valuable materials from waste or clarifying liquids, improving efficiency and product quality.
