An investigation of laser light scattering for the measurement of micron size particles with application to bioflocculation

The activated sludge wastewater treatment process depends upon the formation of biological floc for effective liquid-solids separation, nutrient stabilization and sludge dewatering. Continued research into floc formation, intrafloc interactions and floc hydrodynamics is necessary for improved unders...
