Furthermore, it describes the influence of these properties on separation using depth filtration (filtration velocities of 3 and 6 m h-1). The methods of image and fractal analysis were used to determine the aggregate size and structure, respectively. The experiments were conducted in a pilot plant (a mixing tank and a rapid gravity sand filter) with ferric sulphate used as coagulant. The experiments confirmed that with an increasing velocity gradient the aggregate size decreased; the aggregate size distribution narrowed (suspension was more homogenous); the fractal dimension D2 increased (aggregates were more compact) and the fractal dimension Dpf diminished (aggregates were more regular). The smallest and most compact aggregates (d ~ 60 μm and D2 = 1.9) formed at G > 200 s-1 displayed the best filterability with the time of filtration up to 78 h. On the contrary, the filtration of large and porous aggregates formed at G ~ 30 s-1 lasted only about 30 h.
