Several techniques are employed in solution mixing, each with its advantages and limitations:
Ultrasonication: Uses high-frequency sound waves to agitate the particles, breaking apart agglomerates and ensuring uniform dispersion. Magnetic Stirring: Involves using a magnetic stir bar placed inside the container and a magnetic field to stir the solution. Mechanical Stirring: Employs a physical stirrer to mix the solution, suitable for larger volumes. High-shear Mixing: Utilizes high-speed blades to create shear forces that disperse particles.
