Title: The optimum flocculant concentration for effective flocculation of china clay in aqueous suspension
Abstract: The sedimentation and filtration characteristics of aqueous china clay suspensions flocculated by cationic, anionic and non-ionic polyacrylamides are investigated and discussed. The experimental techniques are shown to be efficient and to give reasonable reproducibility over the polyacrylamide range for effective flocculation. The optimum polyacrylamide concentration for effective flocculation is discussed and it is concluded that the sedimentation rates of the settling flocs and the filtration rates through the settled flocs, rather than the clarity of the supernatant, determine this optimum concentration.
