Hence, environmental concerns behoove scientists and engineers to develop materials and methods to lower the extent of pollution of the environment. This monograph summarizes some researches and development work that have been carried out by Dr. Amal A. Aly and her colleagues at the National Research Center in Egypt for flocculation which, is an essential phenomenon in domestic/ industrial wastewater treatment and mineral beneficiation, this should be useful for waste water of porcelain manufacture, phosphatic clay waste, dolomite-apatite system, smectite, illite, kaolinite, cement fluid, ceramic wastewater, and all textile industries.
