Microelectrophoresis Measurements on Polymeric Flocculants Alone and in Excess with Model Colloids

Nature volume 226, pages 72–73 (1970)Cite this article

Abstract

REMARKABLE agreement has been observed between the zeta potential (ζ) of colloidal particles of polymeric flocculants alone and that of model colloids to which an excess of flocculant has been added. The implications are basic to the broad field of colloid chemistry and bear on many areas of water-pollution control1–3.
