[edit] "The following chemicals are used as flocculants"
No they're not! The first table is solely of coagulants, not flocculants. There's a world of difference. A coagulant is an ionic substance with a small highly charged ion that attracts several of the suspended particles by attracting charged groups on the surface of that particle. A flocculant is a polymer that binds two suspended particles by chemically forming a carbon bridge between the two. I'm not sure if the second table contains any flocculants either, they look like viscosity enhancers to me. Mollwollfumble (talk) 19:36, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
- This might be your personal definition? Try to read the whole article: Flocculation is synonymous with agglomeration, aggregation, and coagulation / coalescence. --Langbein Rise (talk) 08:46, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
