FLOCCULATION
With an emphasis on water and wastewater treatment
by
JOHN BRATBY
"Coagulation and Flocculation"
Coagulation and flocculation play a dominant role in many water and wastewater schemes. Because of a complex interdependence of
numerous factors inherent in the coagulation and flocculation processes, a thorough understanding of the phenomena involved is essential.
To date, pertinent current literature does not present an overall account of coagulation and flocculation in a single publication; as a
consequence, the reader lacks an overall picture of the processes as a whole and, without further extensive literature searching, succeeds
in achieving only a superficial understanding. This new book has been written to fill the conspicuous gap in the current literature. The
subject matter is presented logically and sequentially from theoretical principles to practical applications such that the reader gains an
overail in-depth understanding of ttie processes as a whole.
The Author The form of presentation of the book is a reflection of the author's background. Dr. Bratby, author of numerous technical
papers and articles, held the position of Senior Research Officer of the Water Research Commission of South Africa at the University of
Cape Town and, at the present time is Contract Technical Consultant with CAESB, the Brazilian government organisation responsible for
environmental protection, water and sewage treatment etc. in the Federal District of Brasilia.
In its present form the book evolved from material offered to undergraduate and postgraduate university students. Although it has been
progressively modified and increased in scope so as to cater for the requirements of practising chemists, chemical and civil engineers
involved with water and wastewater treatment, the book retains a didactic nature. Therefore, the book is designed to serve three purposes:
(1) A readable and useful presentation for the water scientist and engineer; (2) A convenient reference handbook in the form of numerous
examples and appended information and (3) Course material for under- and postgraduate students.

The criteria for the viability and/or optimum con-
ditions for coagulation and flocculation applied to a potential
or existing water supply, depend on the water constituents.
In the majority of cases several constituents are of concern
and, essentially, analysis of the water after coagulation and
flocculation will be based on the removal of each. However,
there will often be a particular constituent that may be taken
as representative and which will be used as the criterion of
process efficiency, especially for the initial phases of the
viability study of a potential supply, or during routine
control of an existing supply. In many instances, such con-
stituents comprise those giving rise to turbidity and/or colour
in a given water.
1.2.1 Turbidity
1.2.2 Colour
As will be discussed in greater detail in Section 4.2.2,
most of the colour in waters arises from organic compounds leached
from soil and decayed vegetation. Surface waters may at times
appear to be highly coloured, because of coloured suspended matter,
when in reality they are not. Colour caused by suspended matter
is referred to as apparent colour and is differentiated from colour
derived from organic sources, which is referred to as true colour.
1.3 SUMMARY
As a review of the preceeding discussions, one can put
forward the following general comments: Coagulation is the
process whereby a given system may be transformed from a
stable to an unstable state. The manifestation of destabili-
zation is dependent on the particular system: For example,
in the case of disperse suspensions or solutions, visible floe
or precipitate formation occurs; In the case of highly con-
centrated suspensions.dewatering of the sludge maea occurs,
and so on.

2.3 ADSORPTION
Since the acknowledgement of adsorption is inherent in
Stern's model of the electrical double layer, it is considered
worthwhile to briefly consider what is meant by it. Adsorption

2.7.3 Schulze - Hardy Rule
From Equation (2.27), an interesting point comes
to light: Optimum concentrations of -indifferent electrolytes
yielding counter-ions with valency z = 1, 2, 3, etc., should
be in the ratio l/l6 : 1/26 : 1/36 or approximately 800 : 12 :
This is in reasonable agreement with experimental evidence on
the coagulation of hydrophobic colloids by non-adsorbable ions.
The phenomenon is known as the rule of H. J, Schulze and W. B.
Hardy from their work in 1883 and 1900 respectively.

4.1.4 Effect of pH
4.1,4,1 Generctl
The discussion in Section 4.1.3 was
directed towards the combined influence of colloid concentration
and coagulant dosage on the characteristics of destabilization
of hydrophobic colloids. A further factor, of paramount
importance in destabilization with hydrolyzing metal coagulants,
is the pH. As seen in Chapter 3, the predominance of a par-
ticular hydrolysis species during destabilization is very
largely dependent on the pH value. For a particular colloidal
suspension, it is logical to consider that there exists a
particular hydrolysis species most effective for destabilization;
whether by virtue of the charge carried; or adsorptivity and
so on. To quote Black and Chen^ * : The adjustment of pH to
a range where the most effective hydrolysis species of the
coagulant is formed is shown to be Very essential in producing
optimum coagulation.

suggested that colour compounds were straight-chain-
substituted fatty acids in true solution and that colloidal
properties exhibited by these compounds are due to complex
formation with iron if present in solution. It has been
f 39)
suggested^ v that of the humic fractions present in organic
coloured waters , the humic acid fraction is colloidal whereas
the fulvic fraction is in true solution. Black and Chris tman'--'
by filtration and electrophoretic measurements concluded
that organic colour causing compounds were true hydrophilic
colloids possessing a negative surface charge. They further
suggest that colour is due to a light scattering and fluor-
escence effect rather than to molecular absorption. Packham^ '
has suggested that organic colour is in true solution but that
a proportion of the molecules are large enough to exhibit
colloidal properties. Furthermore, in the presence of iron
coordination reactions may occur giving rise to colloidal
characteristics.

Packham^ ' suggested that differences in properties of humic
substances of different waters was due principally to
differences in the proportions of the various fractions; each

Singley et al suggested reducing
all colour measurements to a standard value of pH. A value
of 8,3 was chosen because this represents the final pH of
most treated waters. For convenience, they present the
nomograph reproduced in Figure 4.7. Thereby, a reading of
colour for a given water, at any particular pH (from 2 to 10)
is readily converted to a standard reading at pH 8,3. As
seen on the nomograph, colour values less than SO units have
not been included since, as stated above, the indicator effect
is negligible at low values. As noted by Singley e_t l use
of the nomograph is more convenient than adjusting the pH of
colour samples, particularly in view of the fact that most
coloured waters are low buffered, which results in difficulties
of adjusting pH to an exact value.

5.0 INTRODUCTION
5.1.1 General
As stated above, there is no single mechanism of
destabilization by polyelectrolytes which may be considered
applicable in all instances. However, it is possible to set
down two principal mechanisms which in some instances may be
operative conjointly, whereas in others the predominance of
one over the other is fairly simple to identify. In some
cases, the two phenomena may operate in opposition. The two
mechanisms are based on (i) a bridging model, where polyelec-
trolyte segments are adsorbed on the surfaces of adjacent
colloids thereby binding them together and (ii) a model whereby
ionic polyelectrolytes, bearing a charge of opposite sign to
the suspended material, are adsorbed and thereby reduce the
potential energy of repulsion between adjacent colloids.
Associated with this second model is the phenomenon described
in Chapter 2 where oppositely charged polyelectrolytes, by
their presence in the double layers of particulate material,
reduce the interaction energy. With (i) it is seen that (ii)
may support the action of the other, or oppose it, depending
on whether there is strong electrostatic attraction between
the polyelectrolyte and colloid surface. With (ii) it is
appreciated that if (i) contributes to destabilization, it
will always support the action of the other.
J
Adsorption is effectively irreversible^ :
Although the energy of adsorption at any particular site may
be low and under normal circumstances may indicate a probability
of desorption, the chance of desorption occurring simultan-
eously at a number of sites is low. Although under normal
conditions of destabilization with polyelectrolytes, desorption
of the whole chain from the particle surface does not occur,
displacement may be induced by, for example, suitably adjusting
pH conditions or adding a sufficiently high concentration of
surface competitor (e.g. sodium tripolyphosphate) ',

5.2.1 General
There are many instances where polyelectrolytes
have been employed as primary coagulants, effectively
replacing the use of metal coagulants for this purpose. Such
applications include treatment of waters predominantly turbid
or coloured with humic substances, removal of microorganisms
and various industrial applications. In cases where replace-
ment of metal coagulants by polyelectrolytes is possible, the
potential advantages are as follows^ : (i) soluble metal-
ion species carry-over from sedimentation basins etc. is
prevented; (ii) the need for extensive pH adjustment (and
subsequent readjustment)is obviated; (iii) carry over of
light floes such as those formed with metal coagulants is
minimised; (iv) sludge volume to be ultimately disposed
of is reduced and (v) the amount of soluble anions are
reduced.

Huck e_t al^ ' applied polyelectrolytes to aid flocculation
of lime precipitated heavy metal (Fe, Zn, Cu, Mn, Pb) hydro-
xide floes. The polyelectrolytes used had a molecular weight
of 9,0.10 (determined by gel permeation chromatography).
Although the type of polyelectrolyte used by them appears to
be unspecified, they found that the degree of hydrolysis,
varied from 2 through to 37%, had no effect on flocculation.
From their results, it appears that the optimum polyelectrolyte
dosage is of the order 2.10" times the metal concentration.
At the optimum dosage, the degree of floe formation and settle-
ability were markedly improved.

7.3.4 Compartmentalization
In Section 7.2.3 the progressively reduced total
retention time for a flocculation system with increased
number of flocculation basins in series was demonstrated.
The minimum possible retention period is
achieved when the number of reactors in series is infinity,
i.e. plug flow conditions. This phenomenon is of general
occurrence when reaction kinetics are of first order, as is
the case for orthokinetic flocculation.

7.4.1 General
Although the filtration process does not strictly
fall into the scope of this book, the particular process
contact flocculation - direct filtration warrants inclusion.
The reason is that with some waters, where the water quality
is generally of a high standard, the process combination
coagulation - flocculation - sedimentation and/or filtration
may be inefficient. For dilute suspensions the flocculation
process is kinetically poor and in such cases may, without
operational modifications, be relatively ineffective.
7.4.4 Mechanisms
In direct filtration, suspended material in the
raw water is destabilized by the addition of coagulant chemi-
cals and passed directly to a granular bed. Because of the
251
7.4,4,1 Transport
7.4.4.2 Attachment
Attachment of suspended particles to
the grain surfaces or to existing deposits is controlled by
the surface properties of the respective materials. The
process of attachment is analogous to that of destabilization
f 2 7 33")
in the coagulation process^ ' . Two mechanisms describing
attachment are (a) double layer interactions and (b) specific
chemical interactions. With the double layer theory it is
assumed that interaction between a suspended particle and
media surface can be described by a combination of Van der
Waals attraction with the coulombic attraction or repulsion
of the double layers. However, O'Melia and Stumm'- ' state
that although electrostatic interactions are significant,
they probably do not solely control attachment. For an under-
standing of the attachment step during filtration it is neces-
sary to consider an analogy with particle destabilization
where both electrostatic interactions and chemical interactions
are of importance (see Chapter 4 ) . Here, rather than particle
- particle interactions, one thinks in terms of media surface
(which includes already attached material) - particle inter-
actions. With a consideration of the foregoing, the influence
of pre-conditioning the filter media and destabilization of
suspended material may readily be appreciated. Furthermore,
the lag period or working - in period of the filter after
backwashing is also understood.
The dual media bed (b) will produce the same ef-
fluent quality as the multi-media bed but at the expense of
higher chemical dosages and shorter filter runs.

8.0 INTRODUCTION
8.1.2 Apparatus
The apparatus used for assessing the performance of a
particular primary coagulant is the standard jar test apparatus, an
example of which is shown in Figure 8.1. It consists essentially
of a rack of stirrers , driven by one motor, under which 600 ml, or
preferably 1 litre glass beakers are arranged. Beakers of lesser
capacity than 600ml should not be used since irreproducible results
may occur due to difficulties in accurately adding coagulants or
coagulant aids. Furthermore, where the test criterion is settling
velocity, tall beakers of large capacity are to be preferred. A
further factor supporting the use of beakers of large capacity was
pointed out by Habibian and O'Melia^ -1 : when using polyelectro-
lytes either as primary coagulants or coagulant aids, the inner
surfaces of the beakers serve as adsorption sites for the polymer.
The effect is accentuated when smaller beakers are used and for
waters of low turbidities where the total colloidal surface area
may be of the same order of magnitude as the beaker inner surface
area. For this reason beakers of at least 11 capacity are
recommended.

8.4.1 General
The previous sections of this Chapter have des-
cribed methods by which primary coagulant type, dosage, pH and,
if used, flocculant aid are optimized for a particular water.
Further tests which should be conducted on the water (but
281
which are more often than not neglected) are those by which
flocculation parameters are optimized. Up to the present time,
for the design of continuous completely mixed flocculation
systems, it has been necessary to obtain experimental data
from continuous type pilot plant trials. Because of the con-
siderable expenditure involved in constructing the necessary
apparatus and the lengthy testing procedures involved, design
cf flocculation systems (especially for relatively small
plants) has often been based on rule-of-thumb procedures.

A.4.1 General
A.4.4 Thickening
Thickening waste sludges prior to costly de-
watering processes is often a very important step in the
overall disposal scheme. The volume of sludge to be subse-
quently dewatered is markedly reduced. Figure A,4.1 is a
conceptual presentation of the volume decrease during

A typical recovery p r o c e s s K J includes
thickening of the calcium carbonate sludge to 20 to 30 per
cent s o l i d s ; dewatering by centrifuge to about 67 per cent
solids; calcination at temperatures of 1000 to 1200C in
an oil fired rotary k i l n .
