Editor's Notes
- #6 Electrolyte – ex: water After dissolving separate into cations and anions When applying an electric potential to the solution, ions are stared to travel opposite directions. Then electrical current will occurs.
- #9 s a structure that appears on the surface of an object when it is exposed to a fluid. In here object may be a solid particle, a gas bubble, a liquid droplet, or a porous body. The double layer refers to two parallel layers of charge surrounding the object.
- #12 The electrode holds a charge density (σM) arising from either an excess (-σM) or deficiency (+σM) of electrons at the electrode surface. The charge on the electrode is balanced by redistribution of the ions in the solution by an equal but oppositely charged amount of ions. The result is two layers of opposite charge separated by some distance and it is limited to the radius d/2 of the attracted ions and a single layer of solvation around each ion. The line drawn through the center of such ions marks the boundary known as the ‘Outer Helmholtz Plane’ (OHP) and the region within it the electrical double layer. The potential in the Helmholtz layer is described by the Poisson’s equation, which relates the potential with the charge distribution.
- #16 Gouy suggested that interfacial potential at the charged surface could be attributed to the presence of a number of ions of given sign attached to its surface, and to an equal number of ions of opposite charge in the solution. In other words, counter ions are not rigidly held, but tend to diffuse into the liquid phase until the counter potential set up by their departure restricts this tendency. The kinetic energy of the counter ions will, in part, affect the thickness of the resulting diffuse double layer. Gouy and, independently, Chapman developed theories of this so called diffuse double layer in which the change in concentration of the counter ions near a charged surface follows the Boltzmann distribution.
- #20 Charge opposite to the surface charge
- #25 Diffused double layer (DDL) is the result of claywaterelectrolyte interaction. Cations are held strongly on the negatively charged surface of dry finegrained soil or clays. These cations are termed as adsorbed cations. Those cations in excess of those needed to neutralize electronegativity of clay particles and associated anions are present as salt precipitates. When dry clays come in contact with water, the precipitates can go into solution. The adsorbed cations would try to diffuse away from the clay surface and tries to equalize the concentration throughout pore water. However, this movement of adsorbed cations are restricted or rather minimized by the negative surface charge of clays. The diffusion tendency of adsorbed cations and electrostatic attraction together would result in cation distribution adjacent to each clay particle in suspension.
- #26 Also it can be defined as the potential difference between the dispersion medium and the stationary layer of fluid attached to the dispersion particle.
- #28 At a high zeta potential will confer stability. At the solution or dispersion will resist aggregation. When the potential is small, attractive forces may exceed this repulsion and the dispersion may break and flocculate. So, colloids with high zeta potential (negative or positive) are electrically stabilized while colloids with low zeta potentials tend to coagulate or flocculate.
- #33 The stability of a colloidal system will determined by the sumation of the attractive forces and the repulsive forces.
- #35 Unlike a ceramic capacitor or aluminum electrolytic capacitor, the Electrical Double Layer Capacitor (EDLC) contains no conventional dielectric. Triglyceride emulsions are medical products; they are sub micron emulsions of vegetable oils in water, emulsified by phospholipids, which provide a high zeta potential, and a correspondingly long shelf life (2-3 years). The emulsions are used to feed patients intravenously who cannot be fed orally (e.g. due to gastrointestinal surgery). zeta potential – pH curve for a drug-containing emulsion that is flocculated at pH 7. Data of this type allows a rational selection of formulation pH and emulsifier to maximise zeta potential and hence emulsion stability.zeta potential – pH curve for a drug-containing emulsion that is flocculated at pH 7.
