Very early in the article, an equation is given for the excluded volume Vsube = Pi/3 x (D + d)^3. Shouldn't it be Pi/6... 128.220.159.2 (talk) 19:53, 19 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Section on Colloidal destabilization has (almost?) nothing to do with depletion

[edit]

Most of the examples in this section have nothing to do with depletion. Many are due to bridging flocculation (wine, water treatment) Another is due to charge reduction (aluminum salts in water treatment). Depletion can cause colloid destabilization, but I'm not sure any of the current examples are relevant. Needs a complete rewrite. I'll do it once I get up to speed in the Wikipedia process--AlanParkerFrance (talk) 20:45, 20 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
