A Two-Class Population Balance Equation Yielding Bimodal Flocculation: Development and Validation for Marine Sediments KU Leuven
Bimodal flocculation of marine and estuarine sediments describes the aggregation and breakage process in which dense microflocs and floppy macroflocs change their relative mass fraction while developing a bimodal floc size distribution. To simulate bimodal flocculation of marine and estuarine sediments, a two class population balance equation (TCPBE), which includes both size-fixed microflocs and size-varying macroflocs, was developed. The new ...
