Sažetak
The sedimentation rate of magnesium hydroxide in seawater was examined for different degrees of completeness of precipitation and for different additions of the A-130 flocculant. The study showed that incomplete precipitation of magnesium hydroxide, i.e. precipitation with a nonstehiometric quantity of precipitation agent, considerably increased the rate of sedimentation of magnesium hydroxide, and thus the capacity of the thickener was also increased. At a precipitaion of 80 percentage the capacity of the thickener increased by 71 percentage in relation to complete precipitation. Calculations were made according to Kynchs theory.
