Abstract
Abstract A process for the agglomeration of particulate material comprising contacting said particulate material with an aqueous solution of polymer of acrylamide and an aqueous solution of dialdehyde having the formula O CH - (R)n - CH O, where R is a divalent hydrocarbon radical having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms, and n is 0 or 1, at a temperature in the range from 0* to 100*C.
