Electric birefringence for monitoring size changes in clay suspensions

摘要: The growth and decay rates of rapid, induced electro-optical phenomena in dilute colloidal suspensions are characteristic the geometry solute particles. speed measurement renders such methods especially relevant for fast, situ analyses size distribution colloids practical, industrial situations where these properties may be undergoing continuous change. principles electrically birefringence using pulsed fields is outlined used to study vermiculite as they undergo reduction an ultrasonic field. high sensitivity method both particle range form function indicated. use on-line monitoring mineral indication control aggregated, dissolving or growing media discussed.
