flocculate - form into an aggregated lumpy or fluffy mass; "the protoplasms flocculated"
change - undergo a change; become different in essence; losing one's or its original nature; "She changed completely as she grew older"; "The weather changed last night"
2.
flocculate - cause to become a fluffy or lumpy aggregate; "The chemist flocculated the suspended material"
alter, change, modify - cause to change; make different; cause a transformation; "The advent of the automobile may have altered the growth pattern of the city"; "The discussion has changed my thinking about the issue"
The main pigments were phthalo blue and Ti[O.sub.2] and our actions always seemed to cause one of them to flocculate and allowed the other one to come to the surface.
Pigment particles in general and iron oxides in particular have such small particle size and resulting large surface area that the particles have an affinity to each other and tend to flocculate when a dispersion is not adequately stabilized.
Similarly, Marchuk and Rengasamy (2012) reported a highly significant linear correlation between CROSSf and the salt concentration (expressed conventionally as electrical conductivity) required to flocculate three Australian soils.
It is characterised by cross linking capabilities that, when activated according to Sorbwater's process, instantly and irreversibly flocculate pollution in water to large, easy separable super-strong flocks.
The objectives of this study were (i) to investigate the mechanisms of PAM adsorption and desorption by pure kaolinitc and montmorillonite specimens as well as the ability of PAMs to flocculate the two clays, and (ii) to further test and evaluate the ability of PAMs to clarify and flocculate clay suspensions of four natural subsoils having distinct clay mineralogy.
Addition of lime to most clay soils can help "flocculate" the almost microscopic soil particles into aggregate clumps, resulting in a looser, more open soil structure with better air and water penetration.
