Computer simulations of charge and steric stabilised colloidal suspensions
Computer simulations of colloidal suspensions are prohibited by slow equilibration as very different length and time scales are involved for the various species. This is the reason that most simulations involve some degree of coarse-graining, whereby the degrees of freedom of the microscopic particles are traced out, and the mesoscopic particles interact with an effective potential, resulting i...
متن کاملEffective charge saturation in colloidal suspensions
Because micro-ions accumulate around highly charged colloidal particles in electrolyte solutions, the relevant parameter to compute their interactions is not the bare charge, but an effective ~or renormalized! quantity, whose value is sensitive to the geometry of the colloid, the temperature or the presence of added-salt. This nonlinear screening effect is a central feature in the field of coll...
متن کاملCharge Renormalization, Thermodynamics, and Structure of Deionized Colloidal Suspensions
In charge-stabilized colloidal suspensions, highly chargedmacroions, dressed by strongly correlated counterions, carry an effective charge that can be substantially reduced (renormalized) from the bare charge. Interactions between dressedmacroions are screened by weakly correlated counterions and salt ions. Thermodynamic and structural properties of colloidal suspensions depend sensitively on t...
متن کاملCharge - stabilized colloidal suspensions . Phase behavior and effects of confinement *
The Poisson–Boltzmann (PB) equation is used to investigate effective colloid-interface interactions and the phase behavior of charge-stabilized colloidal suspensions. When a colloidal particle, immersed in an electrolyte, approaches an interface, which may be neutral (such as air) or charged (like electrodes, glass, etc.), image charge effects plus the deformation of the colloidal ion atmospher...
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...
