DLVO THEORY
  • Goal
  • Develop an understanding of the fundamentals of
    particle adhesion
  • Objectives
  • Quantify interaction forces between particles
    and surfaces in varying solution chemistries
  • Examine force trends as a function of solution
    pH and ionic strength

3
Basic concepts of DLVO theory
Charged colloidal particles suspended in water
should interact through Van-der-Waals attractions
and Coulomb interactions. Added salt causes a
screening of the Coulomb repulsion (DLVO-theory),
added small particles (or polymer chains) may
lead to attractive forces by the so-called
depletion mechanism
Existence of an attractive pair potential between
like-charged particles.
4
Origin of surface charge
5
  • For particles attached to the surface
  • EDL forces are weak
  • van der Waals forces are relatively significant
  • To describe particle adhesion in close contact
  • van der Waals forces, chemical bonding are
    dominant

THE GOUY-CHAPMAN MODEL (a) 





CHARGE DISTRIBUTION
POTENTIAL
DISTRIBUTION
The electric double layer ? Consists of a surf.
layer of charge on the solid surface, i.e.,
surface charge (so). ? The surface charge is
balanced by a diffuse layer of counter-ion charge
(sd) located at the aqueous side of the
interface visualized as point charges.

The Stern Model
? Accounts for ionic size by locating the centers
of the first layer of ions at a mean distance d
from the solid surface.   ? Beyond the first
layer, the ionic distribution follows the
Gouy-Chapman picture of a diffuse layer based on
point charges
16
Stern model
If neglect of the second capacitance (i.e., C2)
has no significant effect on the predicted
properties of the electrified interface, then Y1
and Y2 may be equated.   The total interfacial
capacitance then becomes 1/CT 1/C1
1/Cd
17
  When potentials and ionic strengths are
relatively low, the capacitance associated with
the compact layer (i.e., C1) far exceeds the
diffuse layer capacitance.   ? Stern model
reduces to the diffuse layer model (Gouy-Chapman
model) ? total interfacial capacitance is
provided by the diffuse layer, i.e., 1/CT
1/Cd
18
CONSTANT CAPACITANCE MODEL   When potentials and
ionic strengths are high, the diffuse layer
capacitance is relatively greater than the
compact layer capacitance.   ? Stern model
reduces to the constant capacitance model, where
the total interfacial capacitance is given by
1/C 1/C1

THE GOUY-CHAPMAN-STERN-GRAHAME (GCSG) ELECTRIC
DOUBLE LAYER     ? Ascribe sizes to the ions
right next to the Stern plane.   ? Ions in the
Stern plane considered to have lost their waters
of hydration.   ? Ions in diffuse layer retain
hydration shells.

    strength

  • Electric double layer forces
  • Repulsive forces which dominate at larger
    separation distances
  • Stern layer tightly bound ions
  • Diffuse layer free ions that rapidly exchange
    with ions in the Stern layer
  • Zeta potential at break between Stern and diffuse
    layers
  • EDL thickness is a function of pH and ionic
    strength of solution

Triple layer model
  The solid/liquid interface visualized in terms
of three layers of charge
First layer innermost layer, the surface layer
consists of the solid surface itself locale of
primary potential determining ions (e.g., H, OH-
for a metal oxide).   The charge and potential
associated with this layer are designated as so
and Yo respectively.
32
The solid/liquid interface visualized in terms of
three layers of of charge
 Second layer the inner Helmholtz plane (IHP), a
compact layer of counter-charge typically
consisting of relatively strongly bound (i.e.
specifically adsorbed) ions.   The
corresponding charge and potential are identified
as s1 and Y1 respectively.
Third layer the diffuse layer, the location of
ions, termed indifferent ions, ions only weakly
attracted to the solid surface.   The plane of
the diffuse layer closest to the solid surface is
designated the outer Helmholtz plane (OHP).
The potential at the OHP is Y2 and the charge
associated with the diffuse layer is s2.

the region bounded by the surface plane and the
IHP  C2, representing the region bounded by the
IHP and the OHP Cd, representing the diffuse
