The density of a ballasted floc directly depends upon the specific gravity of the applied ballast and its induction rate in floc aggregation (Sieliechi et al., 2016). The rate of ballast induction is expected to be driven by injected ballast concentration and applied agitation (G value) (Moruzzi et al., 2017).
Specific gravity is directly related to the weighing property of the materials.
