Floc Architecture in Wastewater and Natural Riverine Systems

The study of flocs has largely been devoted to the gross (>1 μm) scale so that the behavior of flocs (i.e., transport and settling) can be observed and modeled. With the assistance of a newly developed field kit and correlative microscopy [which includes transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning confocal laser microscopy (SCLM), and conventional optical microscopy (COM)], this paper begins to bridge the resolution gap between the gross …
