Fundamental is a chemical substance that is often used in water treatment, wastewater treatment and sewage treatment. Its role is to gather small particles suspended in water into large blocks, so as to facilitate subsequent separation and processing. The following is the main role of flocculant:
Gathering suspended particles: The flocculant can be adsorbed on the surface of the suspended particles to form a charged flocculant. These flocculae interaction and gather together to form a large block, making it easier to be separated by suspended particles.
Improve the speed of settlement: Since the flocculant promotes the gathering of particles to form a larger group, these blocks are heavier than a single particle, so their settlement speed is faster. This helps to separate the suspended particles more effectively during water treatment.
Promote filtration effect: flocculant can improve the effect in the filtration process. By gathering and gathering particles, flocculants can form a larger group, thereby reducing the blockage and resistance in the filter medium, and improving the filtration efficiency.
Reduce turbidity: turbidity refers to the content of suspended particles in water, and usually uses the optical scattering of particles as measurement indicators. The role of flocculant can effectively reduce the turbidity in water and improve water quality.
Delete suspension and colloid: flocculant also has a good removal effect on small suspension and colloids. They can adsorb and gather these tiny particles so that they are easy to precipitate or are filtered and separated.
It should be noted that different types of flocculants are suitable for different water treatment conditions and target substances. When using a flocculant, you should follow the correct dosage and operation steps, and monitor and adjust according to the actual situation. In addition, the selection and use of flocculants should comply with relevant laws and regulations and safety operation specifications.
