Clarifying agents are used to remove suspended solids from liquids by inducing flocculation, causing the solids to form larger aggregates that can be easily removed after they either float to the surface or sink to the bottom of the containment vessel. == Process == Particles finer than 0.1 μm (10−7m) in water remain continuously in motion due to electrostatic charge (often negative) which causes them to repel each other.
