Abstract:

The critical coagulation concentration (CCC) is defined as the minimum concentration of counterions to induce coagulation of colloidal particles. A modified calculation method was proposed to calculate CCC. Comparing the modified calculation method of CCC with the traditional calculation method, the critical condition of modified calculation method is stricter than traditional calculation method. The critical condition of modified calculation method is the maximum value of interaction force that is zero, and the critical condition of traditional calculation method is the maximum value of interaction energy that is zero. The calculation result of CCC based on interaction force is greater than the calculation value based on interaction energy. The CCC value of modified calculation method can ensure particles to coagulate definitely.
