352.~ Utilizing emulsion, dispersion, or suspension electrolyte system

DEFINITION

Classification: 205/352

Utilizing emulsion, dispersion, or suspension electrolyte system:

(under subclass 334) Subject matter wherein an emulsion, dispersion, or suspension is utilized as the electrolyte or bath.

(1) Note. An emulsion is a fluid consisting of a microscopically heterogeneous mixture of two normally immiscible liquid phases, in which one liquid forms minute droplets suspended in the other liquid.

(2) Note. A dispersion is a fluid consisting of individual extremely fine particles of solids, which are usually of colloidal size, suspended therein.

(3) Note. A suspension is a fluid consisting of finely divided colloidal particles, too small to settle, but kept in motion by Brownian movement, floating therein.
