Abstract:An apparatus for determining the wettability of quartz sand was developed. It was shown that as the temperature increases, the surface wettability of the minerals present in the glass quartz sand increases owing to a reduction of the slippage of the liquid along the solid surface and, in consequence, the aggregative stability of their suspensions increases.Aqueous disperse systems of hydrophylic minerals (quartz, iron and aluminum oxides, and others) are characterized by a high free interphase energy F, which … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
