flocculation

A Dictionary of Biology | 2004 | Â© A Dictionary of Biology 2004, originally published by Oxford University Press 2004. (Hide copyright information) Copyright

flocculation The process in which particles in a colloid aggregate into larger clumps. Flocculation of clay particles in soil can be induced by the addition of calcium salts. Clay particles have an overall negative charge and therefore attract positive ions, such as Ca²⁺, which form bridges holding the particles together. Flocculation is also often observed in cultures of bacterial and yeast cells.
