This is the first study of the flocculation of dissolved Fe, Al, Mn, Si, Cu, Pb and Zn during mixing in Zhujiang Estuary, based on the experiment on a series of solutions of salinities ranging from 0 to 24 by mixing the Zhujiang water near Zhongshan University and the seawater in Wan-shan Archipelago area. The mechanism of flocculation of the 7 elements is explored, and the effects of time, acidity and temperature on flocculation are discussed. The results show that the flocculation rates of Fe and Pb in the Zhujiang water are almost a hundred per cent, while that for Cu reaches 76%; for Mn, 51%; for Al, 48%; for Zn, 28%; and for Si, 1.2%, indicating that Si is conservative.
