An aqueous system, for example sewage or animal farm waste, is conditioned by the addition of an alkaline earth metal hydroxide, e.g. lime; a weighting agent, e.g. calcium carbonate; and a high-molecular-weight cationic polyelectrolyte, e.g. a polyacrylamide. The hydroxide and the weighting agent are used in a weight ratio of from 9:1 to 1:9 and are preferably mixed together as an aqueous slurry before addition to the system to be conditioned. |
