Simplified flocculation model for inorganic and polymer flocculants

Simulation of flocculation process using both inorganic and polymer flocculants is very difficult because there are many factors which influence the process. In this study, a model which enables the visual understanding of qualitative trends of the flocculation system using both inorganic and polyme...
