What is another word for peptization?
Pronunciation: [pˌɛpta͡ɪzˈe͡ɪʃən] (IPA) 
Peptization is a chemical process that involves the dispersion of a solid substance into smaller particles, using chemicals called peptizing agents. The process is commonly used in the production of ceramics, pigments, and other materials. Synonyms for peptization include deflocculation, dispersion, dispersal, emulsification, and solubilization. Deflocculation refers to the separation of particles in a liquid, resulting in a reduced viscosity. Dispersion, dispersal, and emulsification refer to the same process of breaking down larger particles into smaller ones. Solubilization, on the other hand, refers to the process of dissolving a substance in a liquid to form a solution. Despite their similarities, these terms are often used interchangeably depending on the specific context.
