Deaggregated or dispersed form
Coagulate/closed aggregate
Aggregates
Flocculated
Individual fine particles
Deflocculated
Higher sedimentation height
Flocculated
Low sedimentation height
Deflocculated
Redispersible
Flocculated
Prone to caking
Deflocculated
The system is in flocculated equilibrium and show no clear supernatant on standing.
 F value of an ideal suspension?
formation of nonredispersible sediment within a suspension system
Caking
Caused by crystal bridging and closed aggregation
Caking
particle surface crystal growth occurs on two or more particles simultaneously and results in a steady formation of crystal-linked particles
Crystal bridging
outward appearance of an agglomeration of crystal
Crystal habit
settling of an aggregated system and refers to the settling rate
Subsidence
Medium temp. Oswald ripening
