Characterization of floc size, strength and structure under various coagulation mechanisms
Open accessAbstract
Flocs generated by various coagulation mechanisms exhibit different size, strength and structure. The properties and fractal dimensions of flocs formed under three common coagulation mechanisms, i.e. charge neutralization, sweep and bridging, were investigated at various hydraulic conditions. The results showed that the floc size decreased with the increasing average velocity gradient G and the stable floc size exponent T was of the following hierarchy: charge neutralization (0.6107)> sweep (0.5618) > bridging (0.3674). Furthermore, fractal dimensions of flocs were the highest when formed by sweep and the lowest when generated by bridging flocculation. The mass fractal dimensions measured by light scattering were between 2.0 and 3.0 and the floc strength was between 0.01 and 0.58 N m(-2). An intrinsic unity of the relationship among floc size, fractal dimensions, floc strength under the three coagulation mechanisms was demonstrated. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
