Abstract Flocculation is used for the removal or separation of colloids, e.g. in water treatment and mineral processing. Alginates are linear, anionic biopolymers composed mannuronic (M) guluronic (G) acids. The relative amount distribution M G impact ion-binding gel-forming properties polymer, but still no one has yet addressed alginate composition on flocculation nanoparticles particles. Our ...

The development of clean and renewable biofuels has been wide concern on the topic energy environmental issues. As a kind biomass with great application prospects, microalgae have many advantages are used in fields protection as well food or feed production for humans animals. However, high cost harvesting is main bottleneck industrial large scale. Self-flocculation cost-efficient promising met...

The recycling of active materials from Li-ion batteries (LIBs) via froth flotation has gained interest recently. To date, recycled graphite not been pure enough for direct reuse in LIB manufacturing. present work studied the effect particle sizes on grade graphite. Furthermore, selective flocculation is proposed as a novel approach to control and thus improve by preventing entrainment cathode c...

In 1943 Bruger (1) proposed a fractional cephalin-cholesterol flocculation test to be used as an index of increasing or decreasing hepatic dysfunction. This modified test consisted in the use of increasing dilutions of serum with saline, noting the flocculation according to the procedure originally described by Hanger. The data presented in support of the modified test do show that, when it is ...

Background: The dispersed phase volume fraction plays key role in oil-in-water emulsion stability by different mechanisms like partial flocculation, depletion flocculation and bridging flocculation. Since the mentioned mechanism is affected by emulsifier concentration presented in system, the major aim of this study was to investigate the effect of dispersed phase volume fraction on physical st...

Coal slurry is an essential component of mining operations, accounting for more than half operating costs. Dewatering technology simultaneously confronted with obstacles and possibilities, it may yet be improved as the crucial step reducing ultimate processing cost. Coagulation/flocculation used a dewatering process that reasonably cost-effective user-friendly. This paper reviews application di...

FLO11 encodes a yeast cell wall flocculin that mediates a variety of adhesive phenotypes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Flo11p is implicated in many developmental processes, including flocculation, formation of pseudohyphae, agar invasion, and formation of microbial mats and biofilms. However, Flo11p mediates different processes in different yeast strains. To investigate the mechanisms by which F...
