The clumping of particles in order to settle out impurities; often induced by chemicals such as lime or alum.
The clumping together of solids so they can more easily be settled out or filtered out of water. A chemical called aluminum sulfate (alum) is generally used to aid coagulation in water treatment and reclamation.
a process used to destabilize colliodal particles by adding a chemical which has positively charged colloids, to water containg negatively charged colloids, thus reducing the tendancy for them to repel each other. Rapid mixing for a short period of time is used to evenly disperse the coagulant.
The point in cheesemaking where the milk protein clumps together to form curds.
An irreversible agglomeration of the dispersed particles of a colloid solution. In rubber latex, clotting together of the dispersed rubber globules to form coherent jelly-like mass.
A pretreatment process used in some desalination plants. A substance (e.g., ferric chloride) is added to a solution to cause suspended particles to agglomerate and form larger particles which are easier to remove from a solution than small particles.
A pretreatment process in desalination plants. A substance, (e.g.,ferric chloride), is added to a solution to cause certain elements to become thickened into a coherent mass, so that they may be removed.
The bodies process of forming blood clots to aid in the process of healing and to stop bleeding.
the process in which the negative charge on particles is neutralized, usually by addition of positive charges such as those provided by alum. The neutralization of particles allows them to clump together forming larger particles which are easier to settle.
The process of forming a blood clot.
in water treatment, the use of chemicals to make suspended solids gather or group together into small flocs.
To cause transformation of (a liquid or solid, for example) into or as if into a soft, semisolid, or solid mass.
Irreversible particle aggregation that occurs in pigment suspensions, latexes, emulsions and dispersions. Can be caused by various destabilizing factors such as addition of electrolytes, mechanical shear, heat, freezing/thawing cycles, etc... .
Clumping of particles in wastewater to settle out impurities, often induced by chemicals such as lime, alum, and iron salts.
The addition of a coagulant chemical (eg Aluminium Sulphate) to destabilise the charges of a particulate suspended in water, collapsing the negatively charge "cloud" surround the particle, so they can agglomerate.
clotting; the transformation of a liquid (e.g., blood) into a solid mass.
Coagulation refers to aggregation of smaller particles. This process is enhanced by the addition of chemical coagulants.
To remove dirt suspended in the water, powdered alum is dissolved in the water and it forms sticky particles called “floc” which attach to the dirt particles.
clotting. process of converting a finally divided or colloidally dispersed suspension of one substance in a liquid into larger-size particles which do settle or precipitate under the influence of gravity, also described as the transition of a sol into a gel under flocculation
the process, such as in treatment of drinking water, by which dirt and other suspended particles become chemically “stuck together” so they can be removed from water
The process of adding chemicals to water to destabilize charges on naturally occurring particles to facilitate their subsequent aggregation and removal by flocculation or filtration.
The neutralization of the electrical charges on fine particles in water using chemicals called coagulants. The coagulants cause the particles to clump together, and the clumps are then skimmed or drained off or filtered from the water.
The neutralisation of charges of colloidal matter in order for the matter to join together
The process by which very small, finely devided solid particles - often colloidal in nature - are agglomerated into larger particles.
The clumping together of very fine particles into larger particles caused by the use of chemicals (coagulants). The chemicals neutralise the electrical charges of the fine particles and destabilise the particles. This clumping together makes it easier to separate the solids from the water by settling, skimming, draining, or filtering.
the process in which chemicals react with suspended particles in a liquid to form a sticky precipitate.
Collision between two (or more) particles resulting in one larger particle.
clotting of blood, plasma
Irreversible combination or aggregation of particles to form a larger mass.
Clotting or thickening. The process of changing from a liquid to a solid, especially as with blood.
Using chemicals (coagulants) to neutralize the electrical charge on fine particles in water, causing them to clump together. When clumped, the solids can be separated from the water by settling, skimming, draining or filtering.
The process by which blood clots, and can be induced by heat or chemicals.
the transformation of a liquid, such as blood, into a soft, semisolid, or solid mass (e.g., blood clot).
Process whereby blood thickens to solid state, as in formation of a clot.
The clotting of blood or destruction of tissue with no cutting effect; electrosurgical fulguration and desiccation.
The destablization and initial aggregation of finely divided suspended solids by the addition of a polyelectrolyte or a biological process.
The use of electrical energy to stop bleeding by thickening and clotting blood.
a process that alters the surface charge on dispersed colloidal particles in a liquid so that they are able to agglomerate; the first stage in floc formation
Conversion of a liquid to a solid (solidification), either by crystallization, or by cooling of the fused substance/s; the reduction of a liquid to a solid mass by the removal of moisture.
The clumping together of very fine colloidal (less than 0.1 micron in size) and dispersed (0.1 to 100 microns in size) particles into larger visible agglomerates of these particles (usually between 100 and 1,000 microns in size) caused by the use of chemicals (coagulants).
A step in cheese manufacture when milkâ€(tm)s protein, casein, is clotted by the action of rennet or acids.
The process of becoming viscous. The change from a liquid to a thickened curdlike state not by evaporation but by chemical reaction.
The process in which very small, finely divided solid particles are clumped into larger particles caused by the use of chemicals.
The act or state of becoming viscous, jelly-like or solid, or of uniting into a coherent mass; especially the change from a liquid to a thickened, curd- like state by chemical reaction.
The process in which very small, finely divided solid particles, often colloidal in nature, are agglomerated (lumped) into larger particles.
The coagulation of blood is a complex process during which blood forms solid clots. It is an important part of hemostasis (the cessation of blood loss from a damaged vessel) whereby a damaged blood vessel wall is covered by a fibrin clot to stop hemorrhage and aid repair of the damaged vessel. Disorders in coagulation can lead to increased hemorrhage and/or thrombosis and embolism.
