\nSuspensions and dispersions are both mixtures in which one phase contains and separates a less numerous one. One difference between them is that with a suspension, the mixture will settle out if left undisturbed: an example is agitated pond water that has picked up silt from the bottom but will clear if left still.<\/p>\n
\nWith a dispersion, the separated phase will remain scattered throughout the containing one. Milk is an example: the milk fat is dispersed in water.<\/p>\n
A suspension can be filtered in order to separate the containing phase from the scattered one, but a dispersion can’t be separated that way.<\/p>\n
