👉 In chemistry, a floccule is a colloidal particulate formed in water by the action of hydrophobic molecules. These particles are typically spherical or ellipsoidal and can be used to remove heavy metals from wastewater or to improve solubility of organic compounds. Floccules play an important role in environmental remediation processes as they help to break down the heavy metals into smaller, more soluble forms that can then be safely removed from water. They are also commonly used for removing contaminants from
