The process of spherical agglomeration provides a method for making rapid and efficient separations of solids from liquid suspensions. Because preferential wetting of the solid surface by a second liquid, which acts as a bridging agent between the particles, is a basic requirement of the operation, a novel method for the separation of multi‐component solids becomes available. The procedure is also useful in the breaking of emulsions through the addition of a finely divided solid, the surface of which is repellent to the continuous phase and wetted by the emulsified phase. The process operates equally well in aqueous or in organic media. A number of illustrative examples are given.
