Initial stage dynamics of bridging flocculation of polystyrene latex particles with low charge density polycation in a mixing flow near the isoelectric point
Abstract:Dynamics of ortho-kintetic flocculation of PSL particles with long-chain polycation of low charge density was studied together with the adsorption process of polyelectrolyte near isoelectric point as a function of ionic strength. Within the range of investigation, the initial rate of flocculation was found to take the maximum value immediately after the onset of mixing, but the flocculation gradually slows down with the progress of adsorption. The initial rate of flocculation goes through the minimum as ionic … Show more
