The process by which fine particles of crushed rock are bound to larger pieces of crushed rock so that fine particles within the heap leach pad do not inhibit percolation of leach solutions
The formation of a larger airborne particle by the collision of two or more smaller particles Agglomeration takes place when the attractive forces between the particles is greater than the kinetic energy of collision
(Water Quality) The grouping of small-suspended particles into larger particles that are more easily removed through filtration, skimming, or settling Also see Coagulation ADVANCE \x 540
The action where small particles group together to form larger particles or nodes of a scale anywhere from pea to golf ball size usually due to moisture or surface tension
(Obsolete ) The process of growth of hydrometeors in clouds by the collection of other hydrometeors Another obsolete term for these processes is coagulation Accretion, coalescence, and aggregation are the terms presently in use
In meteorology, the process by which precipitation particles grow larger by collision or contact with cloud particles or other precipitation particles (Source: Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center, 1990)
A process of bringing smaller particles together to form a larger mass Algae Single- or multi-celled organisms that are commonly found in surface water, such as duckweed They produce their own food through photosynthesis The algae population is divided up into green algae and blue algae, of which the blue algae are very damageable to human health Excessive algae growth may cause the water to have undesirable odours or tastes Decay of algae diminishes oxygen supplies in the water
A technique that combines small or powdered materials into larger particles or granules usually employing some type of liquid binders such as silicates Heating is sometimes associated with this process
An agglomeration of things is a lot of different things gathered together, often in no particular order or arrangement. = accumulation. a large collection of things that do not seem to belong together agglomeration of
