declumping
Dispersing stuck particles
Declumping is the process of breaking up clumps—returning something that has stuck together back to a loose, separated state.
The word appears in contexts from cooking to industrial processes: Give the flour a stir to declump it, The software includes a declumping algorithm for particle simulations.
Declumping agents prevent or reverse clumping in powdered products.
