Effect of electrolytes, coacervation, peptization & protective action on Colloidal dispersion
Effect of Electrolytes: 1. Coagulation or Precipitation: Addition of electrolytes to colloidal dispersions can lead to coagulation or precipitation of the colloidal particles. This occurs due to the neutralization of surface charges on the colloidal particles by oppositely charged ions from the electrolyte, reducing the electrostatic repulsion between particles. As a result, the particles come … Read more
