He Based on the consideration that a flux of water is usually observed that the application of a potential difference not produced by a hydrostatic head, Reuss also performed an only caused a flow of electric current, but also a remarkable ingenious experiment, ‘opposite’ of the first of the two movement of water towards the negative pole.

In general, this term flowing. In this way, he discovered that a flux of water indicates the movement of a liquid, with respect to a though a porous membrane or a capillary generated a stationary surface, that takes place inside porous media or potential difference called the streaming potential. within capillaries as an effect of an applied electrical field. A fourth phenomenon, the opposite of electrophoresis, The pressure necessary to counterbalance the osmotic flux is was later discovered by Friedrich Ernst Dorn.

After having applied different heights. a constant potential difference (and therefore an electrical The phenomena previously described are collectively field), he observed a transport of clay particles towards the called electrokinetic phenomena, classified according to positive pole in addition to electroosmosis.

In fact, important confirmation of this aspect emerged 20 years after electrokinetic processes are due to the opposite charges on Reuss experiments when another group of phenomena was the solid particles and in the liquid. On the solid, the charge discovered presenting the same type of coupling: is generated by the presence of ions on the surface due to thermoelectric phenomena. In particular, Thomas Johann either their selective adsorption from the solution or the Seebek observed that by heating the ends of a bimetallic ionization of molecules present on the surface itself. These couple at different temperatures, an electrical potential phenomena do not arise in liquids characterized by small difference was generated, whereas Jean-Charles-Athanase values of the dielectric constant, such as chloroform, Peltier noticed that, inversely, a current transport through the diethylether and carbon disulphide.

In order to illustrate this aspect, we will refer to negative electric charges perpendicular to the surface itself. the motion of a fluid (for instance, water) through a porous For example, on a silica surface in contact with an aqueous sect or a membrane, expressing the fluxes of electrical solution, there are some hydroxylic groups, derived from charges and of water molecules through the current intensity SiO2 hydration, that forms silic acid.

    Nonlinear electrokinetic phenomena Synonyms Induced-charge electro-osmosis (ICEO), induced-charge electrophoresis (ICEP), AC electro- osmosis (ACEO), electro-osmosis of the second kind, electrophoresis of the second kind, Stotz-Wien effect, nonlinear electrophoretic mobility. Definition Nonlinear electrokinetic phenomena are electrically driven fluid flows or particle motions, which depend nonlinearly on the applied voltage. The term is also used more specifically to refer to induced-charge electro-osmotic flow, driven by an electric field acting on diffuse charge induced near a polarizable surface. Chemical and Physical Principles Linear electrokinetic phenomena A fundamental electrokinetic phenomenon is the electro-osmotic flow of a liquid electrolyte (solution of positive and negative ions) past a charged surface in response to a tangential electric field. Electrophoresis is the related phenomenon of motion of a colloidal particle or molecule in a background electric field, propelled by electro-osmotic flow in the opposite direction. The basic physics is as follows: Electric fields cause positive and negative ions to migrate in opposite directions. Since each ion drags some of the surrounding fluid with it, any significant local charge imbalance yields an electrostatic stress on the fluid. Ions also exert forces on each other, which tend to neutralize the bulk solution, so electrostatic stresses are greatest in the electrical double layers, where diffuse charge exists to screens surface charge. The width of the diffuse part of the double layer (or “diffuse layer”) is the Debye screening length (λ ~ 1-100 nm in water), which is much smaller than typical length scales in microfluidics and colloids. Such a “thin double layer” resembles a capacitor skin on the surface.

  • Streaming Potential Analysis
    ABSTRACT WANG, YUN. Colloidal Behavior of Polyampholytes. (Under the direction of Dr. M. A. Hubbe). Polyampholytes are polymers that have both positively and negatively charged groups in the same chain. In recent years polyampholytes have started to be used in papermaking applications, as well as in sludge treatment processes. Benefits, in the case of papermaking, have included increased dry-strength and faster removal of water. But the molecular mechanisms by which such benefits are achieved have not been fully understood. This thesis project focused on effects related to polyampholyte charge density. A series of polyampholytes with a fixed charge ratio but different charge density was used for the experiments. Analysis methods included pH titrations, streaming current titrations, and adsorption isotherms. From pH titrations the charge density of cationic and anionic groups under different pH were calculated. From streaming current tests the net apparent charge density under different pH was calculated. And from adsorption tests it was found that the highest adsorbed amounts were achieved in certain cases corresponding to the highest content of ionic groups on the polyampholytes. Adsorption depended strongly on pH. Substantial differences were observed when comparing results obtained with polyampholyte samples versus ordinary polyelectrolyte samples with same charge density of cationic or anionic groups.

    Nonlinear Electrophoresis of Highly Charged Nonpolarizable Particles Soichiro Tottori, Karolis Misiunas, and Ulrich F. Keyser∗ Cavendish Laboratory, Department of Physics, University of Cambridge, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge, CB3 0HE, United Kingdom Douwe Jan Bonthuis Institute of Theoretical and Computational Physics, Graz University of Technology, 8010 Graz, Austria (Dated: July 10, 2019) Nonlinear field dependence of electrophoresis in high fields has been investigated theoretically, yet experimental studies have failed to reach consensus on the effect. In this work, we present a systematic study on the nonlinear electrophoresis of highly charged submicron particles in applied electric fields of up to several kV/cm. First, the particles are characterized in the low-field regime at different salt concentrations and the surface charge density is estimated. Subsequently, we use microfluidic channels and video tracking to systematically characterize the nonlinear response over a range of field strengths. Using velocity measurements on the single particle level, we prove that nonlinear effects are present at electric fields and surface charge densities that are accessible in practical conditions. Finally, we show that nonlinear behavior leads to unexpected particle trapping in channels.

Most of them make use of the Kuwabara cell model to account for hydrodynamic particle-particle interactions, but they differ in the choice of electrostatic boundary conditions at the outer surface of the cell. Most analytical and numerical studies have been developed using two different sets of boundary conditions of the Neumann or Dirichlet type for the electrical potential, ionic concentrations or electrochemical potentials at that outer surface. In this contribution, we study and compare numerical conductivity predictions with results obtained using different analytical formulas valid for arbitrary zeta potentials and thin double layers for each of the two common sets of boundary conditions referred to above. The conductivity will be analyzed as a function of particle volume fraction, φ, zeta potential, ú, and electrokinetic radius, κa (κ-1 is the double layer thickness, and a is the radius of the particle).

However, the zeta potential of calcite is still poorly known because of the difficulty to interpret streaming potential experiments. The Helmholtz- Smoluchowski (HS) equation is widely used to estimate the apparent zeta potential from these experiments. However, this equation neglects the influence of surface conductivity on streaming potential. We present streaming potential and electrical conductivity measurements on a calcite powder in contact with an aqueous NaCl electrolyte. Our streaming potential model corrects the apparent zeta potential of calcite by accounting for the influence of surface conductivity and flow regime.
