Brownian Motion and Coagulation Process

Abstract

This review discusses the Brownian motion and coagulation/flocculation (C/F) in water/wastewater treatment. In water/wastewater treatment processes, pertinent questions relating to Brownian motion and C/F are often asked. Some of these questions are: Brownian motion and molecular agitation are favourable or not to separation processes? As high salinity (seawater) decreases disorder, increasing surface water salinity would be a convenient water treatment process or not? The processes of C/F are used to remove dissolved substances and colloids from water in order to assure efficient settling.
