Suspending
Suspending is the process of dissolving solids in a liquid. The result, i.e. the liquid with finely dispersed solids, is called a suspension. If a suspension is left to stand, the components separate again, the solids with a greater density than the liquid sink back to the bottom and form a sediment there.
Initial phase
The solids are at the bottom of the vessel as sediment. They are whirled up according to the “1 second criterion”. Alternatively, the solids are dosed on top of the surface and then introduced.
Final phase
The suspension is complete when a homogeneous solids distribution has been achieved, i.e. the solids are evenly distributed in the liquid.
Examples of a suspension are mortar or concrete, paint, blood, wheat beer, orange juice or liquid medicament with the addition of a medicament in powder form.
