Detailed explanation-1: -Peptization or deflocculation is the process of converting precipitate into colloid by shaking it with a suitable electrolyte called peptizing agent. This is particularly important in colloid chemistry or for precipitation reactions in an aqueous solution.

Detailed explanation-2: -The process of converting precipitate into colloidal solution on adding an electrolyte is called peptization.

Detailed explanation-3: -Peptisation: In the peptisation method, some electrolytes are added to form a colloidal sol from a freshly prepared precipitate. Example: Ferric chloride is added to a freshly prepared precipitate of ferric hydroxide which converts it into a colloidal sol of reddish brown.

Detailed explanation-4: -Peptising agent is added to convert precipitate into colloidal solution.
