Long Title: IUPAC Gold Book - perikinetic coagulation
DOI: 10.1351/goldbook.14391
Status: current

Definition
Coagulation due to collisions of particles caused by their Brownian motion.

Note
Perikinetic coagulation occurs in the absence of mixing or under conditions where shear-induced collisions are negligible compared to diffusion-induced collisions.
