Influence of pH, electrolytes and polymers on flocculation of kaolin particle
Flocculation is the most important procedure prior to filter press process. Floc size and floc strength were determined as a function of pH, various electrolyte and polymer flocculant concentrations. The floc size and floc strength of kaolin suspension were investigated by laser diffraction techniqu...
