Stability and coagulants

Stability and coagulants are terms used in various contexts, particularly in chemistry and biology. Stability generally refers to the ability of a substance or system to maintain its physical and chemical properties over time or under specific conditions. In chemical contexts, stability can relate to the resistance of a compound to decomposition, degradation, or reaction under various environmental factors such as temperature, pressure, and pH. In biological systems, stability often refers to the maintenance of cellular structures or biochemical processes necessary for normal function. Coagulants, on the other hand, are substances that promote coagulation or the clumping together of particles or substances. In biological contexts, coagulants can facilitate the formation of blood clots to stop bleeding or promote the precipitation of suspended particles in water treatment processes. In chemical and industrial applications, coagulants are used to induce flocculation and clarify liquids by causing particles to aggregate and settle out of solution.
