in the present investigation flocculation of dissolved cu, zn, pb, ni and mn in a series of mixtures with salinities ranging from 1.5 to 9.5% during mixing of talar river water with the caspian sea water was studied. the flocculation trend of zn (87.22%) >mn (45.31%) >pb (39.09%) >cu (36.58%)>ni (12.70%) indicates that cu, zn, pb and mn have non-conservative behavior and ni has relatively conse...

during estuarine mixing of fresh water with saline water and due to the flocculation process, aportion of dissolved metals come into particulate phase, and the dissolved load decreases. this process plays an important role in self-purification of heavy metals in rivers. in this study, flocculation of cu, mn, ni, pb and zn during mixing of cheshme-kileh river water with caspian sea water has bee...

The flocculation of dissolved heavy metals is a process which has an important effect on decreasing the concentration of the colloidal elements during estuarine mixing of river water and sea or ocean water. During this important process, a large amount of colloidal elements change into particles in the form of flock and the dissolved loads decline. This study is performed to evaluate the mechani...

estuaries are considered as highly dynamic ecosystem that include the mixing or transition zone between river freshwater and saline water from oceans and seas. estuaries are very important aquatic systems by preserving the coastal biota. flocculation of metals during mixing of freshwater with saline water can be considered as the most important estuarine processes. due to flocculation process, ...

the present investigation provides a thorough study of eliminating soluble and colloidal elements of copper, iron, magnesium and zinc during estuarine mixing of gorganrood river water with caspian sea water in iran. the processes of flocculation were carried out in 10 aquariums in order to furnish the salinity in an interval of 0.3 - 4.4 ppt. the obtained result is indicative of non- conservati...

One of the most paramount processes that play a considerable role in reducing the concentration of heavy metals during estuarine mixing is flocculation. Not only does such a process cause a huge percentage of metals to come into the particulate phase, but also it provides ample nutrients for the aquatic life. In the present study, impact of such factors as salinity, pH and DO on flocculation of...
