2. Flocculation
   The change which takes place when the dispersed phase of a colloid forms a series of discrete particles which are capable of settling out from the DISPERSION medium. In geological processes, flocculation is almost inevitably a result of a colloidal solution mixing with a solution containing electrolytes, e.g., sea water.

18. Flocculation
    `Flocculation`, in the field of chemistry, is a process where colloids come out of suspension in the form of floc or flakes. The action differs from precipitation in that, prior to flocculation, colloids are merely suspended in a liquid and not actually dissolved in a solution. In the flocculated sy...
