part of a water-cleaning process in which small sticky particles clump together to make larger and heavier particles (floc). The larger particles eventually sink to the bottom of a containment area and can then be removed.

| flocculation |
The opposite of deflocculation. The process of making a ceramic glaze or clay slurry which would otherwise be thin and liquid into a gel. This is typically done to improve suspension properties or allow application without problems of running and dripping. However flocculated slips have a high water content and thus a higher shrinkage.

| flocculation |
large scale treatment process involving gentle stirring whereby small particles in flocs are collected into larger particles so their weight causes them to settle to the bottom of the treatment tank. flow the rate of water discharged from a source expressed in volume with respect to time.
