Examples
| Dutch | English | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| In colloid chemistry, flocculation refers to the process by which fine particulates are caused to clump together into a floc. | singular | |
| PAM is a water-soluble polymer that clumps the fine, suspended particles typical of swine manure into larger particles, or flocs. | plural | |
| Microsand particles and polymer are added to the floc in the same tank. | in general | |
| Because of the difficulties of moving the floc, emptying the tanks could take up to six months. | in general | |
| This broadens the definition, because many of the self-buoyant microbes and plankton are collected in flocs as well. | plural | |
| The flocs dispersed immediately when cells were resuspended in a glucose-citrate buffer. | plural | |
| The flocs in the activated sludge system perform the same function of purification as the zooglea layer on the percolating filter. | plural | |
| When sewage containing a suitable supply of dissolved oxygen is agitated..the fine suspended matter and the colloidal substances here gather into small aggregations called flocculi or floc. [Note] The word ‘floc’ as used herein, signifies a single sponge-like mass or an aggregation of such masses. | OED |
