👉 In chemistry, "flocculation" refers to a process where a solid material (such as sand or gravel) is mixed with an aqueous solution, such as water, and then subjected to agitation. This mixture can be used in various applications, including cleaning, erosion control, and sedimentation. In the context of flocculation, it involves mixing a large volume of the solid material with a small volume of the aqueous solution (usually water), allowing for a process that promotes the separation
