Differbetween
Although both are used for similar purposes, they differ in their dosing method – in EC the coagulant is added by electrolytic oxidation of an appropriate anode material, while in CC dissolution of a chemical coagulant is used. ... In EC an aluminum anode generated the active species while in CC, commercial alum was used.

Is coagulation a chemical process?
Coagulation is a chemical process that involves neutralization of charge whereas flocculation is a physical process and does not involve neutralization of charge.
What is the best coagulant?
Generally, alum is the first coagulant of choice because of its lower cost and its widespread availability. For coloured, low turbidity, low pH/alkalinity surface waters pre-treatment with lime, soda ash or caustic soda will normally be required to ensure that the optimum coagulation (dosed-water) pH is achieved.
What is the benefit of coagulation?
The advantages of coagulation are that it reduces the time required to settle out suspended solids and is very effective in removing fine particles that are otherwise very difficult to remove. Coagulation can also be effective in removing many protozoa, bacteria and viruses.
