Theory of dielectrophoresis in colloidal suspensions
A theoretical study of the dielectrophoretic ~DEP! spectrum of a pair of touching colloidal particles or biological cells in a host fluid under the application of a nonuniform alternating current ~ac! electric field is presented. The main objective of this work is to investigate the correlation effects due to the presence of mutual polarization on the DEP spectrum. In particular, we employ the ...
متن کاملDestabilization of Colloidal Suspensions 3.1 COLLOIDAL SUSPENSIONS
Many impurities in waters and wastewaters are present as colloidal dispersions, i.e. they occur in particulate form within the approximate size range 1 to 10 -3 μm (refer Fig 1.3). Examples of this type of suspension include clays, substances of biological origin such as natural colour, proteins, carbohydrates and their natural or industrial derivatives. Invariably suspensions of this type poss...
متن کاملTheory of collective diffusion in two-dimensional colloidal suspensions
We consider many-particle diffusion in 2D colloidal suspensions with hydrodynamic interactions within a mode-coupling approach. We focus on the behaviour of the effective scaled collective diffusion coefficient DC(ρ)/D0 as a function of the density of the colloids ρ, where D0 is the single-particle diffusion coefficient. We find that DC(ρ) is strongly coupled to hydrodynamical conservation laws...
متن کاملIon specificity and the theory of stability of colloidal suspensions.
A theory is presented which allows us to accurately calculate the critical coagulation concentration of hydrophobic colloidal suspensions. For positively charged particles, the critical coagulation concentrations follow the Hofmeister (lyotropic) series. For negatively charged particles, the series is reversed. We find that strongly polarizable chaotropic anions are driven towards the colloidal...
متن کاملTheory of nonlinear rheology and yielding of dense colloidal suspensions.
A first-principles approach to the nonlinear flow of dense suspensions is presented which captures shear thinning of colloidal fluids and dynamical yielding of colloidal glasses. The advection of density fluctuations plays a central role, suppressing the caging of particles and speeding up structural relaxation. A mode coupling approach is developed to explore these effects.
