Classification
Nouns denoting substances.
Examples
- The sedimentation test showed that the formation of floc occurred rapidly after the coagulant was added to the wastewater.
- The researchers analyzed the wastewater treatment process by studying the size and composition of the suspended floc particles.
- Floc growth and settling can be influenced by factors such as water flow, pH, and temperature.
- Algal cells formed a large floc after several days, suggesting that coagulation was taking place in the reactor.
- The study found that floc breakage can be a significant issue in sludge dewatering processes if not managed properly.
