Flocculation 3
Flocculation 3 : Loose association of particles in lightly, bonded groups, non-parallel association of clay platelets. In concentrated suspensions, such as drilling fluids, flocculation results in gelation. In some drilling fluids, flocculation may be followed by irreversible precipitation of colloids and certain other substances from the fluid, e.g., red beds. (Bul D11)
