Sol (colloid)




Sols may be prepared by dispersion or condensation. Dispersion techniques include grinding solids to Colloid al dimensions in a Ball Mill (dry or wet) and Beidig's Arc Method . Condensation or precipitation methods work by making the colloidal particle come out of solution into the colloidal phase, either by adding a precipitating agent (salt) or by changing the temperature. The stability of sols may be maintained by using dispersing agents. Sols may be a component of Total Dissolved Solids , since the particle size is small enough to pass through a two Micrometre Filter .

Sols are commonly used in preparing Sol Gel s.
