Chemicals make suspended dirt sticky enough to sink fast
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
Microscopic clay particles suspended in dirty water possess identical electrical charges, meaning they aggressively repel each other and never settle to the bottom. Treatment plants violently dump coagulant chemicals into the mix to neutralize the charges, allowing the dirt to physically smash together into sticky, heavy clumps that quickly sink.
One discovery leads to another.
