Can tannic acid , chitosan and bio activated clay work in synergistic way in flocculation?

last month 1 3K Report

I mean can I combine all 3 and make a flocculant?

Tannic acid, chitosan, and bio-activated clay can be combined synergistically as a flocculant, where tannic acid enhances chitosan's bonding properties, and chitosan-clay composites improve flocculation efficiency through charge neutralization and bridging. This combination creates an effective, biodegradable, and multifunctional flocculant for water treatment.
