The results of the calculation of the number of aggregates in
the unit volume of suspension, Eq. [10], the number of initial
particles in the aggregate, Eq. [7], and the radius of aggregate
using the second model are demonstrated in Fig. 13. At the low
polymer concentration, the flocculation of suspension proceeds
quite well. An increase of the polymer concentration leads to an
increase of the number of aggregates in the unit volume of suspension
and to a decrease of the size of aggregate. These results
are confirmed by the investigation of the number of aggregates
of the kaolin suspension in the presence of polymer by nephelometric
method (8). The suspension is stabilized by the polymer
at the large polymer concentration
