Flocculation is a process that involves the aggregation of fine particles into a floc or flocs, which are larger clusters that can settle out of a liquid suspension. This process is commonly used in various industries, including water treatment, wastewater treatment, biotechnology, and food processing. In the context of water treatment, flocculation typically follows coagulation, where coagulants (such as aluminum sulfate or ferric chloride) are added to destabilize the charged particles in the water.
