The principal focus of this paper is to present a critical review of current approaches to
modelling the inter-related hydrodynamic, physical and chemical processes involved in the …

Flocculation is a widely used phase separation technique in industrial unit processes and is
typically observed in many natural flow systems. Advances in colloidal chemistry over the …

This review discusses the Brownian motion and coagulation/flocculation (C/F) in
water/wastewater treatment. In water/wastewater treatment processes, pertinent questions …

Flocculation occurring in a feedwell plays a critical role in tailings slurry thickening process,
which is complicated and significantly influenced by flow characteristics. This work presents …

The use of CFD to simulate turbulent flows in laboratory and full scale flocculation processes
commonly found at water treatment works is reported. The paper considers a range of …

Flocculation plays a very important role in increasing the suspended solids removal and
enhancing the phosphorous adsorption in wastewater treatment. In the current work, a …

This review focuses on rapid mixing in the coagulation process for improved natural organic
matter (NOM) removal in water treatment. Rapid mixing aims to instantly and efficiently …

In the present study, the thickening process of tailings slurry in a gravity thickener is
modelled using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), with a focus on the effects of particle …

Abstract An enhanced Quadrature Method Of Moments (QMOM) is employed to solve the
population balance model (PBM) with a maximum of eight size classes for the purpose of …

The limitations of water resources and their importance for human life necessitates special
attention to water purification processes. Here, the flocculation process, in which unstable …
