when i add mannitol into water, the solution has opalescence. Does the solution forms colloid? Then how should I do to delete it? Thank you very much...
phildukephd said:Look in a reference source for the solubility of mannitol in distilled water. If it is greater than 0.05% an impurity may be causing the opalescence. If so try filtration to remove it, or gentle heating to precipitate it. Purification by crystallization or chromatography may be in order. What does the supplier say about the purity?
Mannitol solution 0.05% can have opalescence due to the presence of tiny particles or impurities that can scatter light. This scattering of light causes the solution to appear cloudy or milky, giving it an opalescent appearance.
No, opalescence in mannitol solution 0.05% is not harmful. It is simply a visual effect caused by the scattering of light and does not affect the safety or effectiveness of the solution.
Yes, opalescence can be removed from mannitol solution 0.05% by using a filtration or centrifugation process. These methods can help remove the tiny particles or impurities that are causing the opalescence, resulting in a clear solution.
Opalescence in mannitol solution 0.05% can be caused by a variety of factors such as the quality and purity of the ingredients used, the method of preparation, and the storage conditions. Contamination from equipment or improper handling can also contribute to opalescence.
To prevent opalescence in mannitol solution 0.05%, it is important to use high-quality ingredients, follow proper preparation and storage methods, and maintain clean and sterile equipment. Regular testing and monitoring can also help identify and address any potential causes of opalescence.
