1) “standard”particles : constant charge = 0,04 C/m^2 (sulfate latex) radius = 265 nm (TEM) monodisperse Suspending medium: demi-water + salts
System
2) “more” = non-spherical particles : kaolinite, gibbsite, goethite (clays, oxides) non-ideal

Q slip plane where the zeta potential ζ is defined ζ=f(Q) |ZP| = |ζ | < 25 mV AGGREGATE |ZP| = | ζ | >> 25 mV STABLE
Zeta Potential
Application
zeta pot. > interactions > rheology
Application
T = constant (no “thermo-dynamic”) E = applied electric field (but “electro-dynamic”) E (V/cm) << zeta potential (mV)/ double layer (nm) X = Xeq + dX
Assumptions
(zeta potential) double layer (ion cloud) Shear plane = surface particle :
Relation charge / potential at eq.
We will assume a constant surface charge : fixe charge => find the zeta potential for each ionic strength using (PB) + bisection method

constant surface potential The shear plane is at d(nm) from the surface The zeta potential ζ = potential at shear plane
Constant surface potential but zeta potential decreases with ionic strength when d ≠ 0
Standard electrokinetic equations
Poisson : Conservation of mass: Note:
Standard electrokinetic equations
Boundary conditions
Potential : No flux: No slip:
u(∞) = - U
Electrophoresis
standard electrokinetic equations
relation electrophoretic mobility / zeta potential: found from (PB) assuming (given) constant charge found from solving numerically the set of standard electrokinetic equations found with no adjustable parameter

Summary for spheres
- Standard theory describes reasonably well the
electrokinetic behavior of the latex particles, with no adjustable parameter (electrophoresis, dielec. spectro., conductivity)
- adding a Stern layer conductance does not improve the fit
=> hairy layer (“soft particles”) could be explanation for shifting the shear plane approx. 0.25 nm from the particle surface
- behavior as function of particle volume fraction follows
prediction for nearly no salt
Outlook
electrokinetic response of spheroidal particles
2012 : => numerical solution (=> improve analytical solution) 2008 : => analytical solution (reproduce O’Brien + Loewenberg)
