The formation of large separable particles by aggregation of colloidal and finely divided particles suspended in aqueous systems, aided by mechanical, physical, chemical or biological means. 2, record 2, English, - flocculation
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
In water and wastewater treatment, this agglomeration is done after coagulation by gentle stirring by either mechanical or hydraulic means. When coagulation is not used, as in biological wastewater treatments, it may be accomplished biologically. 2, record 2, English, - flocculation

Formation, par agglomération de particules fines en suspension dans un liquide, d'agrégats constitués de grosses particules séparables appelés «flocs». 2, record 2, French, - floculation
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Cette agglomération est en général accélérée à l'aide de moyens mécaniques, physiques, chimiques ou biologiques. Elle prolonge normalement la coagulation est a pour but, en augmentant la taille des flocons formés, d'accroître leur vitesse de chute et de leur donner une plus grande cohésion, ce qui permet de les éliminer par la suite plus facilement par décantation. 2, record 2, French, - floculation
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 OBS
Le processus semble être le résultat de deux réactions différentes et indépendantes : - un phénomène de déstabilisation, s'effectuant le plus souvent par addition de réactifs chimiques qui annulent les forces répulsives ou agissent sur l'hydrophilie des particules colloïdales par des mécanismes d'agrégation ou d'adsorption; - une agglomération des colloïdes «déchargés» résultant d'une série de collisions successives, favorisée par un processus mécanique (agitation douce). 3, record 2, French, - floculation
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 3 OBS
Les termes de «coagulation» et de «floculation» ont des sens différents suivant les divers auteurs. [...] Certains auteurs américains appellent «coagulation» une déstabilisation par neutralisation de charges, et «floculation» une déstabilisation par adsorption. Il est d'usage chez les traiteurs d'eau de réserver le terme «coagulation» au phénomène de déstabilisation et celui de «floculation» à l'agglomération des colloïdes déchargés. 3, record 2, French, - floculation

The word is derived from this appearance. Flocculation can often be reversed by agitation, as the cohesive forces are relatively weak. This is not true of other forms of aggregation (coalescence and coagulation), which are irreversible. 2, record 5, English, - flocculation
