Coagulation

Coagulation involves the addition of polymers that clump the small and destabilized particles together into larger aggregates so that they can be more easily separated from the water.

Polymer flocculants

Polymer flocculants are water-soluble polymers with both collecting and precipitating functions. These polymers can form flocs from individual small particles in a suspension by adsorbing on particles and causing destabilization through bridging or charge neutralization.Polymer flocculants promote the separation of particles from water.

Dewatering aids

Dewatering aids are used to reduce cake moisture in the filtration of mineral slurries. These dewatering aids increase filtration throughput in mineral processing by reducing moisture content and improving release of the filter cake.
