Synthesis, Characterization and Flocculation Characteristics of Polysaccharide Graft Copolymers by Karmakar GP in Research & Development in Material Science The waste water and industrial effluent treatment may be treated either with inorganic or organic coagulants and flocculants. Efficient flocculants can reduce the total amount of disposed effluent into the atmosphere. Broadly, for coagulation and flocculation, although the basic function remains the same, subtle distinction is made between these two terms. The coagulation means the destabilization of a stabilized system (eg., colloidal system) but flocculation means the floc formation of the destabilized colloidal system, where the addition of flocculent to the destabilized colloidal system results in flocculation. The flocculants may be either inorganic or organic type. Among the inorganic flocculants, the multivalent metallic compounds like aluminum and iron salts are generally used. The organic polymer ic flocculants...
