Settling in Aggregating Colloidal Suspensions

Abstract: Résumé -Agrégation et sédimentation dans les suspensions colloïdales -Dans une suspension colloïdale où les particules s'agrègent, il existe une gamme de fractions volumiques pour laquelle la suspension forme un gel si fragile qu'il se tasse sous son propre poids. Nous présentons une étude de la cinétique de sédimentation d'un gel colloïdal formé par une suspension de particules de carbonate de calcium dans l'eau. La fraction volumique des particules a été systématiquement variée et différents régimes de sédim… Show more

“…Therefore, it was assumed that streamers form from natural density fluctuations. It is entirely plausible and fully compatible with the model that paths of preferred fluid back flow are seeded by other restructuring and aggregation processes, for example: bubbles which rise through the network, or foreign objects and debris falling through the gel (Senis et al 2001;Teece et al 2014;Harich et al 2016). As shown in §3.3 with controlled simulations, a seeded initial channel radius R 0 produces the same collapse dynamics, which are universally described by the phenomenological model.…”

“…The experiments observe the nucleation and growth of a large channel that is absent of particles, which provides a path for significant fluid back flow through it, a so-called "streamer". It grows in radius, and eventually also spans the height of the gel column, causing a small "eruption" at the interface between the supernatant and the settling gel (Senis et al 2001), when catastrophic loss of network integrity occurs. It has been hypothesized that compacting gel fragments breaking off from the top interface fall through the dilute network, and are responsible for the creation of the streamers that generate the hydrodynamic back flow and subsequent instability (Harich et al 2016).…”

“…23,24 Thus, on account of its microscopic structure, the settling dynamics of such a colloidal system strongly differs from the one observed in usual macroscopic suspensions constituted by non-Brownian particles. 24 Based on the discussions above, the sedimentation of aqueous suspensions is still a nonconsolidated theme, with much more to be gained in understanding. Hence, this article focuses on the less wellunderstood sedimentation areas, describing some atypical behaviors observed in the sedimentation of a polydisperse, industrial-grade, water-barite suspension monitored by electrical conductivity measurements.…”
