One of the foundational chemical treatment processes is coagulation and flocculation. In this method, chemicals known as coagulants are added to the water to destabilize suspended particles. Common coagulants include aluminum sulfate (alum) and ferric chloride. These chemicals cause small particles to clump together into larger aggregates, or flocs, which can then be removed from the water through sedimentation or filtration. This process significantly improves water clarity and is often used as a preliminary step in drinking water treatment.
