koagulációülepítés

Koagulációülepítés is a water treatment process that combines coagulation and sedimentation. Coagulation involves adding chemicals, such as aluminum sulfate or ferric chloride, to raw water. These chemicals neutralize the negative charges on suspended particles, causing them to clump together into larger masses called flocs. This process typically occurs in a rapid mixing tank. Following coagulation, the water flows into a sedimentation basin or clarifier. In this slower-moving environment, the heavier flocs settle to the bottom due to gravity. This settled material, known as sludge, is then removed. The clarified water, now with a significantly reduced turbidity and fewer suspended solids, moves on to further treatment steps like filtration. Koagulációülepítés is an essential step in producing potable water and treating wastewater, effectively removing a wide range of impurities. The efficiency of the process depends on factors such as chemical dosage, pH, and mixing intensity.
