Mechanisms involved in the stabilization of latex particles by adsorbed block copolymers in emulsion polymerization process

Performance optimization of coagulation/flocculation in the treatment of wastewater from a polyvinyl chloride plant

“…The process was found to be cost effective, easy to operate and uses less energy than alternative treatment. Coagulation/flocculation of latex particles was also studied in the literature [7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. The solid particles dispersed in water are stabilized by the anionic (negatively charged) surfactant molecules.…”
