Abstract

The present study was undertaken to delineate the effect of common process variables such as agitation speed, slurry flow rate, slurry percent solids and slurry pH on the continuous flocculation. Results are discussed in relation to the known results from batch flocculation experiments. Itis found that the best operating perf-ormance of a continuous flocculation system could be obtained under short residence times and lowest possible agitation speed.
