Description: In this remote laboratory practice, students will explore the flocculation process, a key technique in water treatment. Flocculation involves the formation of larger particles, known as flocs, from dissolved or suspended substances, which facilitates their subsequent removal by sedimentation or filtration.

The experiment is based on the formation of iron hydroxide flocs, generated from a mixture of iron salts, citrate, and air, which is activated by exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light. This photochemical reaction allows iron to precipitate in the form of oxides or hydroxides, forming visible flocs that capture various impurities present in the water.

Although in this case the experiment is applied to arsenic removal as an example, the main objective is for students to understand the operation and efficiency of the flocculation process in general, and how it can be applied in different contexts of water treatment.
