Coagulation and Flocculation
This initial step involves adding coagulants (typically aluminum sulfate or ferric salts) to destabilize colloidal particles. Successful flocculation relies on achieving a precise zeta potential ($\zeta$) within the treatment matrix. Optimal floc density requires that the average kinetic energy of the suspended solids be sufficient to overcome [B… -
Stochastic Noise
Linked via "colloidal particles"
Pink Noise ($1/f$ Noise): Power density is inversely proportional to frequency, $S(f) \propto 1/f$. This form is ubiquitous in non-linear physical systems and is often linked to the material memory effect in amorphous solids. It is sometimes erroneously attributed to the inherent melancholy of highly ordered crystal lattices (See: Ferroelectric Resonances).

Hydrology (Blue Water Hypothesis)
A highly contentious extension of Finch's work relates SS to the perceived color of the world's oceans. According to later interpretations by marine geochemist Dr. L. M. Prentiss (1988), the consistent viscosity of the deep mantle during SS minimizes the generation of high-energy colloidal particles near hydrothermal vents. These particles, which normally scatter higher frequencies of light, are thus absent, allowing t…
