The formation of groups or clusters of particles (aggregates) in a fluid. In water or in water-base drilling fluid, clay particles form aggregates in a dehydrated, face-to-face configuration. This occ [..]

A net advantage a company gains by sharing a common location with other companies.

loose grouping.

The phenomenon of economic activity congregating in or close to a single location, rather than being spread out uniformly over space.

(Obsolete.) The process of growth of hydrometeors in clouds by the collection of other hydrometeors. Another obsolete term for these processes is coagulation. Accretion, coalescence, and aggregation a [..]

The clustering of several similar or related activities at the same location. Many industries have firms that tend to agglomerate, that is, locate very close to one another, leading to geographic conc [..]

The potential of the system for particle attraction and adhesion.

A method of concentrating valuable minerals based on their adhesion properties.

the grouping together of businesses in the same area to minimize costs through linkages.

Definition A consolidation or merging.

A process of bringing smaller particles together to form a larger mass.

a group of industries in the same location.

A net advantage a company gains by sharing a common location with other companies.

Sticking together of two or more crystals during the centrifuging and drying operations.

A process of bringing smaller particles together to form a larger mass.

This is when solid particles stick to one another, and while this is an undesirable feature in many powder and particle processing operations, it is essential for the successful sintering of iron ore

The grouping of industrial or productive activities close to one another in order to create cost advantages, as in the creation of an industrial park or area of a city given over to industry.

(n) a jumbled collection or mass(n) the act of collecting in a mass; the act of agglomerating

In meteorology, the process by which precipitation particles grow larger by collision or contact with cloud particles or other precipitation particles.

Economic activity clustered in or around a single location. An agglomeration economy is a benefit that accrues due to being part of an agglomeration.

The coming together of small, scattered particles into larger, heavier particles, called floc, which are then able to settle easier and faster out of a liquid. Refer to *Floc*.

A net advantage a company gains by sharing a common location with other companies.

A net advantage a company gains by sharing a common location with other companies.

The growing or coming together of small scattered particles into larger flocs or particles, which settle rapidly. Also see FLOC.

A method of formation of relatively large porous blocks (agglomerates) from fine ore or powder ore by sintering (roasting) of ore. In this process, easily fusible materials fix solid particles with ea [..]

Agglomeration is the formation of a larger airborne particle by the collision of two or more smaller particles. Agglomeration takes place when the attractive force between the particles is greater tha [..]

<computer programming> A composition technique for building a new object from one or more existing objects that support some or all of the new object's required interfaces. (01 Feb 1996)

Massing of materials together as in clumping. (18 Nov 1997)

Multiple particles joining or clustering together by surface tension to form larger particles, usually held by moisture, static charge or particle architecture.

A process which uses fine particles, added with water and other binders, to form sinter, pellets or briquettes.

the action of combining a number of small particles into a larger single mass, often the operating principle for additives which promote particle attraction and clumping.

The act or process of collecting in a mass; a heaping together. State of being collected in a mass; a mass; cluster. (geography) An extended city area comprising the built-up area of a central c [..]

The growth of a particle by collision with and assimilation of other particles. Ordinarily, the connotation is that all particles are solid.
