  • Why is flocculation important in industrial wastewater treatment?
  • Flocculation is an essential phenomenon in industrial wastewater treatment. Inorganic coagulants (salts of multivalent metals) are being commonly used due to its low cost and ease of use. However, their application is constrained with low flocculating efficiency and the presence of residue metal concentration in the treated water.
  • How do flocculants affect water treatment efficiency?
  • As the core of flocculation, flocculants’ characteristics directly determine the efficiency of water treatment (Liao et al. 2014). According to the chemical composition, the flocculant can be divided into inorganic coagulants and organic flocculants.
  • How much flocculant can be used in wastewater treatment plants?
  • Research by Vu Hien Phuong To et al. on sludge from seven different wastewater treatment plants show that the dose of flocculant is strongly dependent on the concentration of SEPS. Up to 80% of the PAM used can be used up in reaction with the SEPS.
  • Is flocculant a good water treatment method?
  • Therefore, it can be called a very economical and effective water treatment method. Flocculant is a kind of water treatment agent. It can aggregate the colloidal substances and particulate matters suspended in the liquid to form larger flocs, and then promote the settlement of these particles from the stable suspension (Salehizadeh et al. 2018).
