👉 Flocculence is a type of sediment found in the ocean and other bodies of water, particularly in areas with high levels of organic matter. It is characterized by its ability to absorb and hold onto small particles, such as bacteria or debris, making it a useful material for filtration and purification processes. The term "flocculence" comes from the Greek word "flos," which means "flower." In this context, flocculence refers to the smooth and delicate appearance of these sedimentary materials
