COLLOIDAL DISPERSION
Classification of dispersed systems and their general characteristics, size and shapes of colloidal particles, classification of colloids and comparative account of their general properties.
Macromolecular colloids – In this type of colloids the size of the particles of the dispersed phase are big enough to fall in the colloidal dimension as discussed earlier (i.e. 1–100 nm)
Chemical engineers often deal with precipitation and separation of colloidal particles, flocculation and aggregation of particulates, aerosols and foams.
Lecture 38 Colloids a second substance. The substances are present as larger particles than those found in solution, but are too small to be see with a microscope. The mixture is also called a colloidal …
colloids are crucial to both ordinary living and pharmacological formulations. the study of both big molecules and intricately divided multiphase systems is known as colloidal science. the intersection …
