Destabilization 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 کاملPartial clustering in binary two-dimensional colloidal suspensions.
Strongly interacting binary mixtures of superparamagnetic colloidal particles confined to a two-dimensional water-air interface are examined by theory, computer simulation, and experiment. The mixture exhibits a partial clustering in equilibrium: in the voids of the matrix of unclustered big particles, the small particles form subclusters with a spongelike topology which is accompanied by a cha...
متن کاملActive and Passive Particle Transport in Dense Colloidal Suspensions
Acknowledgments First, I would like to thank Prof. Matthias Fuchs for giving me the opportunity to work on the very interesting subject of the mode-coupling theory of the glass transition and especially to contribute to the exciting new developments in this field. I also acknowledge the opportunity to participate in different teaching and seminar activities, which helped me to learn unconventio...
متن کاملActive and nonlinear microrheology in dense colloidal suspensions.
We present a first-principles theory for the active nonlinear microrheology of colloidal model system; for a constant external force on a spherical probe particle embedded in a dense host dispersion, neglecting hydrodynamic interactions, we derive an exact expression for the friction. Within mode-coupling theory, we discuss the threshold external force needed to delocalize the probe from a host...
متن کاملActive colloidal suspensions exhibit polar order under gravity.
Recently, the steady sedimentation profile of a dilute suspension of chemically powered colloids was studied experimentally [J. Palacci et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 105, 088304 (2010)]. It was found that the sedimentation length increases quadratically with the swimming speed of the active Brownian particles. Here we investigate theoretically the sedimentation of self-propelled particles undergoing...
