Abstract
The invention relates to methods and devices for accelerated stability analysis, and in particular to a qualitative and quantitative direct estimation/identification of separation processes of disperse material systems (such as liquid-solid, liquid-liquid or liquid-gaseous). The invention also relates to methods and devices for the classification and quantitative characterization of slow, as well as rapid separation phenomena of disperse material systems of different volume concentration. Exemplary fields of application concern the development, selection and optimization of destabilizers, stabilizers and novel formulations for dispersions, as well as quality and process control (such as in the chemical, pharmaceutical, biotechnological, cosmetic and food industries), as well as in the process technology for separation and treatment processes.
