- (coagulate) clot: change from a liquid to a thickened or solid state; "coagulated blood"
- (coagulated) coagulate: transformed from a liquid into a soft semisolid or solid mass; "coagulated blood"; "curdled milk"; "grumous blood"
- (coagulation) curdling: the process of forming semisolid lumps in a liquid
- (Coagulation (milk)) Curds are a dairy product obtained by curdling (coagulating) milk with rennet or an edible acidic substance such as lemon juice or vinegar, and then draining off the liquid portion (called whey). ...
- (coagulate) A mass formed by means of coagulation; To become congealed; to convert from a liquid to a semisolid mass; To cause to congeal
- (coagulated) Subject to coagulation
- (coagulation) The precipitation of suspended particles as they increase in size (by any of several physical or chemical processes); The process by which blood forms solid clots; Similar solidification of other materials (e.g. of tofu)
- (Coagulate) Firming or clumping of proteins after heating.
- (coagulate) This is when a substance thickens and congeals.
- (Coagulation) a process that alters the surface charge on dispersed colloidal particles in a liquid so that they are able to agglomerate; the first stage in floc formation
- (Coagulation) A pretreatment process used in some desalination plants. A substance (e.g., ferric chloride) is added to a solution to cause suspended particles to agglomerate and form larger particles which are easier to remove from a solution than small particles.
- (coagulation) to gather together or form into a mass or group
- (coagulation) the process by which dirt and other smail suspended solid particles are chemically bound, forming flocs using a coagulant so they can be removed from the water (the second step in drinking water treatment).
- (COAGULATION) The process in which very small, finely divided solid particles, often colloidal in nature, are agglomerated into larger particles.
- (coagulation) The process by which a liquid changes into a thickened, curd-like, insoluble state as it undergoes a chemical reaction.
- (coagulation) When you destroy a colloid by letting the particles settle out.
- (Coagulation) Destabilization of colloid particles by addition of a reactive chemical, called a coagulant. This happens through neutralization of the charges.
- (Coagulation) The clumping together of solids so they can more easily be settled out or filtered out of water. A chemical called aluminum sulfate (alum) is generally used to aid coagulation in water treatment and reclamation.
- (Coagulation) The process of blood clotting. A variety of factors are necessary for the blood to have a normal clotting ability. Clotting ability is assessed by several blood tests including the prothrombin time (PT), partial thromboplastin time (PTT) and platelet count. ...
- (Coagulation) The process by which cellular proteins are melted and destroyed. When someone says that the endometriosis was “burned off,” this is the correct technical term to describe the procedure. ...
- (Coagulation (Curdling)) A step in cheese manufacture when milk’s protein, casein, is clotted by the action of rennet or acids.
- (Coagulation) A method of destroying endometrial lesions by dehydrating the cells with a bipolar or thermal coagulator.
- (Coagulation) A process of thickening milk into a custard-like gel by introducing acid or rennet to milk. Coagulant enzymes can be from plant, animal or laboratory sources.
- (Coagulation) An irreversible process in which a number of emulsion droplets coalesce, leading to complete separation of the emulsion.
- (Coagulation) An undesirable changing of resin particles in latex paints into a rubber like mass. This can usually be caused either by freezing or sometimes, by heat, chemical, or catalytic agents.
