Coagulant

Coagulants are chemicals used to enhance sedimentation. Coagulants neutralise surface charges of repelling particules, allowing them to approach, attach and form clusters. The clusters are larger in size and heavier and thus more easy to settle and remove from the water. See also coagulation or chemical sedimentation.
