coagulantes
Coagulants are chemical agents used to promote coagulation, a process in which colloidal particles in liquids become destabilized and form larger aggregates (flocs) that can settle or be removed by filtration. They are used in water and wastewater treatment, food processing, and some medical contexts.
In water treatment, coagulants neutralize electrical charges on particle surfaces and promote aggregation. Common inorganic coagulants
Process in water treatment typically involves rapid mixing to disperse coagulants, followed by slower mixing to
Outside water treatment, coagulants are used in the dairy industry to coagulate milk (rennet enzymes or acids),
Environmental and safety considerations include the management of residuals and sludge, potential aluminum or iron residuals
