Aggregates are particles combined by covalent bonds. Agglomerates are particles held together by van der Waals attraction and polar bonds. However, the literature is very large and often uses contradictory terminology. Prior to establishing the above terminology, the term “aggregation” was used to include gelling, coagulation, flocculation, and coacervation (liquid precipitation).1
