Coagulation and Flocculation 1.0 Introduction In this lab‚ we are conducting two experiments on natural surface water. The first experiment is to conduct jar tests to estimate an optimum dosage of iron salt to remove suspended solids. The seconds experiment is to observe the rate of floc formation nad sedimentation. 2.0 Background Coagulation and Flocculation: Coagulation and flocculation are important part in water and wastewater treatment. Coagulation is the destabilization

4A.2 RRL 4A.2.1 Coagulation of Proteins Coagulation of protein refers to sticking together‚ like a blood clot‚ usually as a result of denaturation or coming out of solution due to abnormal ionic strength or a change of solvent. Definite characteristics of the proteins are changed when they are coagulated‚ among which is loss of solubility in water and dilute salt solutions. In some instances and under certain conditions the coagulation process may be reversible. (Campbell‚ et.al‚ 1979) 4A.2.2

Bleeding Time Test ← Bleeding time is a very popular blood test that is primarily used to gauge the speed with which the blood is able to clot. ← The clotting of blood incorporates the functionality of a number of factors such as coagulation factors‚ platelets‚ as well as small vessel vasospasm. ← Methods of

Factor VIII & the vWF Super Pack In a galaxy far‚ far away… or in blood vessels far‚ far away awaits a powerful superhero Factor VIII. Yea‚ when this guy detects damage to his known territory‚ which is the entire blood vessel galaxy‚ he is out to risk his life to maintain the balance of the Hemostasis Empire. This superhero never sleeps. He is in constant circulation‚ circulating the blood vessels of the human body. Factor VIII though does not work alone when circulating the blood vessels when in

Explain the complex series of events involved in blood clotting Blood clotting or blood coagulation occurs when blood vessel is damaged or broken. There are there mechanisms in blood clotting process: vascular spasm‚ platelet plug formation and blood clotting (coagulation). Vascular spasm Vascular spasm occurs immediately after a blood vessels get injury. The muscle of the blood vessel contracts and hold off the blood supply to the area and it can hold for minutes to hours; this process

ASSESSMENT OF PRIMARY HEMOSTASIS 1.BLEEDING TIME Bleeding time is used to measure the duration of bleeding after a measured skin incision. Bleeding time may be measured by one of three methods: template‚ Ivy‚ or Duke. The template method is the most commonly used and the most accurate because the incision size is standardized. Bleeding time depends on the elasticity of the blood vessel wall and on the number and functional capacity of platelets. Although this test is usually performed on

causes vasoconstriction and further platelet aggregation. Platelet phospholipids help to stimulate and amplify coagulation cascade. Von Willebrands factor is needed for the coagulation cascade to occur. Platelet dervided growth factor is for neovascularization. The secondary hemostasis includes the formation of fibrin to stabilize the primary hemostatic plug. It requires soluble coagulation factors and cofactors‚ which depends on whether it is an extrinsic or intrinsic pathway. Extrinsic pathways

Platelet Plug Formation A platelet plug is an accumulation of platelets that can seal small breaks in blood vessels. Platelet plug formation is very important in maintaining the integrity of the circulatory system because small tears occur in the smaller vessels and capillaries many times each day‚ and platelet plug formation quickly closes them. People who lack the normal number of platelets tend to develop numerous small hemorrhages in their skin and internal organs. The formation of a platelet
