Flocculant and coagulant are important chemicals used in water and wastewater treatment processes for solids removal, water clarification, lime softening, sludge thickening, and solids dewatering.
Flocculation is the process where a chemical agent (flocculant) is used to reduce the turbidity of a liquid by binding suspended particles in the liquid together to form larger particles (flocs) that are heavy enough to settle to the bottom of the liquid.
Coagulation is the process by which particles become destabilized and begin to clump together. Coagulation is an essential component in water treatment operations. Evaluation and optimization of the coagulation/rapid mixing step of the water treatment process includes a variety of aspects. Flocculants gather the destabilized particles together and cause them to agglomerate and drop out of solution.
According to the different chemical composition, coagulants and flocculant have the inorganic coagulant&flocculant, organic coagulant&flocculant, composite coagulant&flocculant. Al-based and Fe-based compound are the main type of inorganic coagulant&flocculant. And it took up 72.02% of the consumption in 2015.
At present, coagulants and flocculant consumption market mainly concentrated in North America, China, Europe, Japan and India & SEA. China is the largest sales country of coagulants and flocculant and it will keep the same position in the next few years. The China sales of coagulants and flocculant market took up about 24.58% the global market in 2015.
Over the next five years, LPI(LP Information) projects that Flocculant and Coagulant will register a 1.0% CAGR in terms of revenue, reach US$ 4560 million by 2023, from US$ 4290 million in 2017.
