Coagulation-flocculation of TiO2 in suspension used in heterogeneous photocatalysis

The coagulation-flocculation of TiO2 in aqueous suspensions of low and intermediate ionic strength was investigated as a function of pH, of addition of aluminum sulfate and of stirring the suspension. This process was maximized after the addition of aluminum sulfate when the mixture was subjected to...
