water treatment – different types of sedimentation : settling

There are various different types of sedimentation: granular particles will each settle separately and will each be subject to a constant settling speed;; particles that are more or less flocculated will be of different sizes and, therefore, subject to variable sedimentation rates. At low concentration levels, the settling speed increases as the floc increases in size through collision with ...
