ИСТИНА

Estuarine area forms a transition zone between river and ocean environments. This zone is characterized by a removal of the main part of riverine dissolved and suspended matter. Usually the removal mechanisms are characterized as a combined process of coagulation and flocculation leading to the enlargement of fine particles. The contribution of each of the above processes to the fate of riverine matter is poorly understood. The aim of our investigation is the study of different factors affecting coagulation and flocculation of riverine suspended matter.
