Abstract

This article presents a proposal based on laboratory tests aimed at studying water with flocculating particle sediments. To this end, measurements were taken at different time intervals and with various doses of coagulants and bentonite, using an acrylic sedimentation column of 1.70 meters in height, equipped with seven measurement points. This setup allowed for the simulation of the behavior of the flocculating particles, which facilitated the development of a theoretical equation to assess the sedimentation efficiency of the prototype. Additionally, the combined effect of these factors was analyzed, which could result in a decrease in sedimentation velocity and an increase in retention time, directly influencing the data obtained during the laboratory tests.
