Dielectrolysis (Noun)
Meaning
The motion of charged particles in a colloid under the influence of an electric field; particles with a positive charge go to the cathode and negative to the anode.
Classification
Nouns denoting natural processes.
Examples
- Dielectrolysis is a phenomenon where charged particles in a colloid move under the influence of an electric field, resulting in the separation of particles based on their charge.
- The process of dielectrolysis is crucial in understanding the behavior of colloidal suspensions in various industrial applications.
- Dielectrolysis occurs when an electric field is applied to a colloid, causing positively charged particles to migrate towards the cathode and negatively charged particles towards the anode.
- Researchers have been studying the effects of dielectrolysis on the stability and properties of colloidal suspensions in different electric field strengths.
- Dielectrolysis has been used in various applications, including water treatment and purification, where it helps to remove charged impurities from the solution.
