# Particle behavior: Without settling due to gravity, particles tend to remain suspended and disperse differently, affecting filtration, separation, and mixing processes.<ref name=":0" />
# '''Liquid containment''': Surface tension effects can cause liquids to adhere unexpectedly to container walls, complicating storage and transfer operations.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Meseguer |first=J |last2=Sanz-Andrés |first2=A |last3=Pérez-Grande |first3=I |last4=Pindado |first4=S |last5=Franchini |first5=S |last6=Alonso |first6=G |date=2014-09-01 |title=Surface tension and microgravity |url=https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/0143-0807/35/5/055010 |journal=European Journal of Physics |volume=35 |issue=5 |pages=055010 |doi=10.1088/0143-0807/35/5/055010 |issn=0143-0807}}</ref>
# '''Phase separation''': The lack of density-driven separation makes it challenging to separate immiscible fluids or different phases of materials.<ref name=":1" />
