In this research project, systematic studies of polymer-assisted flocculation and dewatering behaviour of colloidal gibbsite (y-Al(OH)3) dispersions, together with polymeric flocculant structure-mediated interfacial chemistry and particle interactions, have been performed. Clear links between flocculation performance, interfacial chemistry, particle interactions, dispersion settling rate and sediment consolidation were established for improved dewaterability.
