Abstract
Separation, analysis and recycling technologies are of high interest for our modern societies, where colloidal iron and aluminium (hydr)oxides have important applications. However, there are significant gaps in the fundamental understanding of how these phases form in real systems. Classical nucleation theory cannot account for many experimental observations, and there is a dichotomy between the chemistry of hydrolysing/condensating systems and the physical notion of supersaturation. Reviewing parts of the established and recent literature, we demonstrate that concepts of nonclassical nucleation pathways can overcome these issues. This broader, chemistry-based conceptual framework has a high potential for advancing current applications, and developing new strategies towards separation, analysis and recycling applications, which seem to be urgently required for the future.
