Flocculation is an effective means of de-watering microalgae. This study was conducted to evaluate how cell type and concentration impact flocculation efficiency. Aluminum sulfate (Al2(SO4)3) and two cationic starches with ...

We have evaluated the induction of the flocculent phenotype of Kloeckera apiculata by glucose mc1 and propose a pathway involved in carbohydrate flocculation induction. Pulses of glucose were given to cells growing in ...

Higher flows in the flocculation stage of water and wastewater treatment systems can be dealt with by adapting the operating conditions. This study investigates the changes required to maintain the flocculation efficiency. ...

In this study, the flocculation process in continuous systems with chambers in series was analyzed using the classical kinetic model of aggregation and break-up proposed by Argaman and Kaufman, which incorporates two main ...

Aims: To characterize and analyze the flocculation phenomenon of Kloeckera apiculata mc1 from Agentinian wine to understand the cell-cell interaction pattern. Methods and Results: Kloeckera apiculata mcl possess intense ...

The gel transition of depletion flocculated oil-in-water emulsions is analyzed as a function of the strength of the droplet–droplet interaction. The critical volume fraction for gelation has been found to decrease exponentially ...

The coagulation-flocculation of TiO2 in aqueous suspensions of low and intermediate ionic strength was investigated as a function of pH, of addition of aluminum sulfate and of stirring the suspension. This process was ...

- A temporal analysis of fractal aggregates during water flocculation is presented. Water was prepared using kaolin solution and a non-intrusive image-based analysis method was used for two-dimensional fractal dimension ...
