In order to have a better understanding of the phenomenon, the evolution factors are studied. Process of agglomeration/dispersion can be influenced by the presence of a residual coagulant, but the study of residual iron has shown a weak decrease with... 

The lowest cost colorants are dry pigments, whieh require de-agglomeration, dispersion, and mixing into the formulation. Non-dusting versions are available. If a colorant supplier is required to prepare a dispersion in PVC from the pigments and then supply those to the formulator or fabricator, the cost increases. The ehoice will depend upon the complexity of the color palette that a specifie manufacturer requires, his specific equipment... 

The successes enjoyed by nanosciences in many fields [2-10] have resulted in a need for adequate theory and large-scale numerical simulations in order to understand what the various roles are played by surface effects, edge effects, or bulk effects in nanomaterials. The dynamics of colloidal particle transport calls not only for passive transport, but also for additional processes such as agglomeration/dispersion, driven interfaces, adsorption to pore wall grains, and biofihn interactions [4,11-14]. In many cases, there is a dire need to investigate these multi-scale structures, ranging from nanometers to micrometers in complex geometries, such as in vascular and porous systems [4,15-17]. 

Mixing and de-agglomeration Dispersing Distributing primary particles in a medium may simultaneously lead to the breaking up of agglomerates (de-agglomeration)...

With a melt polymer a melt lubricant may form either a homogeneous phase or a mixture of the two separate liquids according to their mutual miscibility. This is the reason that melt PVC and a lubricant may form a two-phase system at least, made of spherical PVC agglomerates dispersed in a liquid solution of PVC single molecules and the melt lubricant or in the melt lubricant alone if it is not miscible with PVC [16].
