One of the primary functions of solid water treatment chemicals is related to coagulation and flocculation. Coagulants like aluminum sulfate and ferric sulfate are commonly used to destabilize suspended particles in water, allowing them to clump together and form larger aggregates known as flocs. This process makes it easier to remove impurities from water, resulting in clearer, cleaner output. Subsequently, the flocs can be efficiently removed through sedimentation or filtration, significantly improving water quality.
Erythromycin is effective against a range of gram-positive and some gram-negative bacteria. It is commonly used in the treatment of respiratory tract infections, skin infections, and sexually transmitted diseases. Specific conditions treated with erythromycin include
