| Abstract: | Polymer-induced flocculation in which the size of polymer molecules is much greater than that of colloidal particles is investigated. A dynamic analysis is conducted which takes the transient behaviors of the adsorption of particles to a polymer molecule and the particle-particle interactions into account. We show that the number of particles adsorbed to a polymer molecule follows approximately a binomial distribution. An approximate expression for the degree of flocculation of the system under consideration is presented. |
