What is peptisation  

Peptusation is the process of converting precipitate into colloidal solution with the help of dissolving the precipitate in dispersion medium in presence of electrolyte

Peptisation is the process which is the primary cause for the formation of colloidal particles in dispersion medium. It requires an electrolyte known as peptizing agent for the completion of the process. It plays a vital role for understanding precipitation reactions that occur in aqueous solution. It has a number of uses:

1. It can be used in nano particle synthesis.
2. It can be used to split large grouping into smaller particles.
3. It is used for synthesizing Titania.
4. It helps in filtrating colloidal solution.

Ans. Peptization is the process responsible for the formation of stable dispersion of colloidal particles in dispersion medium. In other words it may be defined as a process of converting a precipitate into colloidal sol by shaking it with dispersion medium in the presence of small amount of electrolyte.
