Features: Flocculation is one of the important methods or basic unit operations in water treatment and is often indispensable. It has broad applications in the treatment of drinking water, industrial water, industrial wastewater, and domestic wastewater. Therefore, studying and researching the science of flocculation and its application in water treatment is of great significance. This book is primarily based on the fundamental principles of physical chemistry, providing an in-depth and comprehensive theoretical discussion of flocculation issues in water treatment, while also offering detailed introductions to its application technologies. A significant feature of this book is its systematic elaboration of classical theories while also emphasizing recent advancements in the field in recent years. Another distinctive feature is the balance between theory and practical applications, aiming to provide guidance for water treatment practices. The main contents include: flocculation and water treatment, colloid surface electrochemistry, flocculation dynamics, flocculants and their efficiency, flocculation experimental methods, flocculation processes and equipment, and other functions of flocculation methods. This book can serve as a textbook for graduate or undergraduate students in environmental engineering, water supply and drainage, chemical engineering, colloid science, and related fields. It can also be used as specialized knowledge for researchers and engineering technicians in the field of water treatment.
