Abstract:This research investigated the effect of addition sequence of cationic polymers in combination with inorganic coagulants on flocculation kinetics. A photometric dispersion analyzer (PDA) was used as the primary device to study the flocculation kinetics of kaolin clay suspensions at different concentrations and under different experimental conditions in a batch reactor. An automatic image analyzer was used in a limited number of experiments to reinforce the results obtained by the PDA. Zeta potential and residu… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
