dialysis (sh)




In chemistry, separation of suspended colloidal (see colloid) particles from dissolved ions or small molecules via their unequal rates of diffusion through pores of semipermeable membranes (e.g., parchment, collodion, cellophane).

A slow process, dialysis may be accelerated by heating or by applying an electric field if the particles are charged.
