2. Suspension (chemistry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspension_(chemistry)

   A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture in which the solid particles do not dissolve, but get suspended throughout the bulk of the solvent, left floating around freely in the medium. [1] The internal phase (solid) is dispersed throughout the external phase (fluid) through mechanical agitation, with the use of certain excipients or suspending ...

3. Dispersion (chemistry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersion_(chemistry)

   A colloid is a heterogeneous mixture where the dispersed particles have at least in one direction a dimension roughly between 1 nm and 1 μm or that in a system discontinuities are found at distances of that order. [8] A suspension is a heterogeneous dispersion of larger particles in a medium. Unlike solutions and colloids, if left undisturbed ...

4. Suspension polymerization - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suspension_polymerization

   In polymer chemistry, suspension polymerization is a heterogeneous radical polymerization process that uses mechanical agitation to mix a monomer or mixture of monomers in a liquid phase, such as water, while the monomers polymerize, forming spheres of polymer. [2] The monomer droplets (size of the order 10-1000 μm) are suspended in the liquid ...

5. Colloid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colloid

   A colloid is a mixture in which one substance consisting of microscopically dispersed insoluble particles is suspended throughout another substance. Some definitions specify that the particles must be dispersed in a liquid, [1] while others extend the definition to include substances like aerosols and gels.

6. Decantation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decantation

   Decanting a liquid from a solid. Decantation is a process for the separation of mixtures of immiscible liquids or of a liquid and a solid mixture such as a suspension. [1] The layer closer to the top of the container—the less dense of the two liquids, or the liquid from which the precipitate or sediment has settled out—is poured off, leaving denser liquid or the solid behind.

7. Mixture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mixture

   It is an impure substance made up of 2 or more elements or compounds mechanically mixed together in any proportion. [1] A mixture is the physical combination of two or more substances in which the identities are retained and are mixed in the form of solutions, suspensions or colloids. [2] [3]

8. Particle aggregation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particle_aggregation

   A well dispersed colloidal suspension consists of individual, separated particles and is stabilized by repulsive inter-particle forces. When the repulsive forces weaken or become attractive through the addition of a coagulant, particles start to aggregate. Initially, particle doublets A 2 will form from singlets A 1 according to the scheme [2]

9. High-shear mixer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-shear_mixer

   High-shear mixers are used in industry to produce standard mixtures of ingredients that do not naturally mix. When the total fluid is composed of two or more liquids, the final result is an emulsion ; when composed of a solid and a liquid, it is termed a suspension and when a gas is dispersed throughout a liquid, the result is a lyosol.
