DISPERSIONS - I
2
Classification by Size True Solutions (“Molecular Dispersions”) (molecules, ions) in gas, liquid (solutions ) < 1 nm, diffuse easily Fine Dispersions (Colloidal Dispersions ) micelles, microemulsions, some suspensions (e.g. colloidal silver), “polymers”, smoke, films & foams 1 to 500 nm, diffuse slowly, separated by ultrafiltration Coarse Dispersions most pharmaceutical suspensions and emulsions, dust, powder, cells, sands >500 nm, do not diffuse, separated by filtration
3
Thermodynamic Classification Lyophilic colloids Lyophobic colloids
4
Lyophilic Colloidal Systems Dispersions that spontaneously form from macroscopic phases, and are thermodynamically stable with respect to both enlargement of particles through their aggregation and disintegration to individual molecules Property: equilibrium size distribution (do not change in time)
5
Formation of Lyophilic Colloids DispersionPhase Solution Increase in surface area (unfavorable) Increase in number of particles (favorable) Spontaneous dispersion condition:
