The electroacoustic technique has been successfully used to determine the zeta potential of
concentrated aqueous suspensions for over thirty years. This article reviews its use in …

In this review article, the authors present up-to-date developments on experimental,
modeling and field studies on the role of subsurface colloidal fines on contaminant transport …

The results of the yield stress–pH and zeta potential–pH behaviour of pure kaolin and
bentonite slurries, and mixed bentonite–kaolin slurries were evaluated. A high and low Ca …

The surface characteristics, including surface charge and wettability, of layered silicates are
reviewed based on experimental results and molecular dynamics simulation (MDS) results …

Hot water injection into geothermal aquifers is considered in order to store energy
seasonally. Berea sandstone is often used as a reference formation to study mechanisms …

The sign and magnitude of the surface charge govern the particle interactions and hence
determine the physical properties of dispersions. The present work is to evaluate the …

This study aimed to understand the dewatering behaviour of three types of clay minerals (ie
kaolinite, bentonite, and illite) in saline water, and in particular the effect of factors including …

Nonionic polyethylene oxide (PEO) and anionic polyacrylamide (PAM) flocculation of
kaolinite dispersions has been investigated at pH 7.5 in the temperature range 20–60° C …

Kaolinite suspensions are known to have quite fast settling behaviour and Newtonian
character, particularly at low concentrations, due to the non-swelling nature of their …

The presence of clay leads to low recoveries in the process of flotation of copper ores which
is also reflected in a decrease of the concentrates grades. Due to this, the scientific interest …
