Why may coagulation be difficult and slow when precipitates form as colloidal suspensions?
Why may coagulation be difficult and slow when precipitates form as colloidal suspensions?
Coagulation may be difficult and slow, particularly when the isolation of a small quantity of a solid phase is attempted.
