Mechanistic Studies of Cane Mud Flocculation

Whayman, E. and Crees, O.L.  1975.  A series of partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide flocculants was evaluated in batch settling tests on limed cane juice. The dependence of settling rate on polymer molecular weight was determined, together with the variation of optimum flocculant chemical composition with particle zeta potential. It was found that absorption occurs through the acrylate group in the copolymers and the experimental results are interpreted in this light. Mechanistic Studies of Cane Mud Flocculation.
