Abstract
We present here results of a theoretical investigation of particle transport in longitudinally asymmetric but axially symmetric capillaries, allowing for the influence of both diffusion and convection. In this study we have focused attention primarily on characterizing the influence of tube geometry and applied hydraulic pressure on the magnitude, direction and rate of transport of particles in axi-symmetric, saw-tooth shaped tubes. Three initial value problems are considered. The first involves the evolution of a fixed number of particles initially confined to a central wave-section. The second involves the evolution of the same initial state but including an ongoing production of particles in the central wave-section. The third involves the evolution of particles a fully laden tube. Based on a physical model of convective-diffusive transport, assuming an underlying oscillatory fluid velocity field that is unaffected by the presence of the particles, we find that transport rates and even net transport directions depend critically on the design specifics, such as tube geometry, flow rate, initial particle configuration and whether or not particles are continuously introduced. The second transient scenario is qualitatively independent of the details of how particles are generated. In the third scenario there is no net transport. As the study is fundamental in nature, our findings could engender greater understanding of practical systems.

Abstract
Electroacoustics and laser Doppler electrophoresis were employed to measure the mobility of surface-modified silica colloids in ethanol as a function of the ionic strength. Sufficiently low volume fractions were chosen to exclude effects of interparticle interactions. At high ionic strength, the electrophoretic mobility μ(e) is equal to the (electroacoustic) dynamic mobility μ(d) at 3.3 MHz. However, the ratio μ(d)/μ(e) increases significantly to ∼5 at low ionic strength. This increase may be related to the porous outer layer of the surface-modified silica spheres.

Effects of non-equilibrium association-dissociation processes in the dynamic electrophoretic mobility and dielectric response of realistic salt-free concentrated suspensions. Adv Colloid Interface Sci 2013; 201-202:57-67. [PMID: 24161224 DOI: 10.1016/j.cis.2013.10.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/25/2013] [Revised: 10/04/2013] [Accepted: 10/05/2013] [Indexed: 10/26/2022]
Abstract
Electrokinetic investigations in nanoparticle suspensions in aqueous media are most often performed assuming that the liquid medium is a strong electrolyte solution with specified concentration. The role of the ions produced by the process of charging the surfaces of the particles is often neglected or, at most, the concentrations of such ions are estimated in some way and added to the concentrations of the ions in the externally prepared solution. The situation here considered is quite different: no electrolyte is dissolved in the medium, and ideally only the counterions stemming from the particle charging are assumed to be in solution. This is the case of so-called salt-free systems. With the aim of making a model for such kind of dispersions as close to real situations as possible, it was previously found to consider the unavoidable presence of H(+) and OH(-) coming from water dissociation, as well as the (almost unavoidable) ions stemming from the dissolution of atmospheric CO2. In this work, we extend such approach by considering that the chemical reactions involved in dissociation and recombination of the (weak) electrolytes in solution must not necessarily be in equilibrium conditions (equal rates of forward and backward reactions). To that aim, we calculate the frequency spectra of the electric permittivity and dynamic electrophoretic mobility of salt-free suspensions considering realistic non-equilibrium conditions, using literature values for the rate constants of the reactions. Four species are linked by such reactions, namely H(+) (from water, from the--assumed acidic--groups on the particle surfaces, and from CO2 dissolution), OH(-) (from water), HCO3(-) and H2CO3 (again from CO2). A cell model is used for the calculations, which are extended to arbitrary values of the surface charge, the particle size, and particle volume fraction, in a wide range of the field frequency ω. Both approaches predict a high frequency relaxation of the counterion condensated layer and a Maxwell-Wagner-O'Konski electric double layer relaxation at intermediate frequencies. Also, in both cases an inertial decay of the electrophoretic mobility at high ω takes place. The most significant difference between the present model and previous results based on the equilibrium hypothesis is by no means negligible: only in non-equilibrium conditions do we find a low-frequency relaxation (mostly noticed in permittivity data, while its significance is lower in dynamic mobility spectra). This new relaxation presents all the characteristic features of the concentration polarization (or alpha) dispersion. These are: i) the average electric polarization of the system increases when the relaxation frequency is surpassed, contrary to the behavior after Maxwell-Wagner type relaxations; ii) the amplitude of the relaxation increases with surface charge, reaching a sort of saturation if the charge is too high; iii) the relaxation frequency increases with volume fraction while the relaxation amplitude decreases; iv) the characteristic frequency is reduced by the increase in particle radius. All these facts confirm that the non-equilibrium approach seems to better describe the physics of the system by giving rise to a concentration polarization kind of relaxation, only possible when ions can accumulate on both sides of the particles as dictated by the field, and not as determined by equilibrium conditions in the dissociation-recombination reactions involved.

Abstract
The classic Shilov-Dukhin theory of the low frequency dielectric dispersion of colloidal suspensions in binary electrolyte solutions [ Shilov , V. N. ; Dukhin , S. S. , Colloid J. 1970 , 32 , 245. ; Dukhin , S. S. ; Shilov , V. N. Dielectric Phenomena and the Double Layer in Disperse Systems and Polyelectrolytes ; Wiley : New York , 1974 ] was developed for the frequency range corresponding to the concentration polarization phenomenon: up to a few megahertz. While a few extensions to a broad frequency range including the Maxwell-Wagner-O'Konski dispersion exist, they all consist of modifications of the final results of the theory rather than modifications of its hypothesis, extending their validity to high frequencies. In this work we avoid this artificial process by providing a high frequency extension fully from within the theory.

Abstract
In this paper, we present a theoretical analysis of the dielectric response of a dense suspension of spherical colloidal particles based on a self-consistent cell model. Particular attention is paid to (a) the relationship between the dielectric response and the conductivity response and (b) the connection between the real and imaginary parts of these responses based on the Kramers-Kronig relations. We have thus clarified the analysis of Carrique et al. (Carrique, F.; Criado, C.; Delgado, A. V. J. Colloid Interface Sci. 1993, 156, 117). We have shown that both the conduction and displacement current components are complex quantities with both real and imaginary parts being frequency dependent. The dielectric response exhibits characteristics of two relaxation phenomena: the Maxwell-Wagner and the alpha-relaxations, with the imaginary part being the more sensitive instrument. The inverse Fourier transform of the simulated dielectric response is compared with a phenomenological, two-exponential response function with good agreement obtained. The two fitted decay times also compare well with times extracted from the explicit simulations.

Abstract
A matched asymptotic analysis of the system of equations governing the electrokinetic cell model of ref 4 (Ahualli, S.; Delgado, A.; Miklavcic, S.; White, L. R. Langmuir 2006, 22, 7041) is performed. Asymptotic expressions are obtained for the dynamic mobility and complex conductivity response of a dense suspension of charged spherical particles to an applied electric field. The asymptotic expressions are compared with full numerical calculations of the linear response functions as a function of surface (zeta) potential, electrolyte strength, and particle density. We find that the numerical procedure used is robust and highly accurate at a very high frequency under a wide range of double-layer conditions. The asymptotic form for the dielectric response of the system is accurate to megahertz frequencies. The asymptotic formulas for the other response functions have limited viability as predictive tools within the current range of experimentally accessible frequencies but are useful as checks on numerical calculations.

Abstract
The cell-model electrokinetic theory of Ahualli et al. Langmuir 2006, 22, 7041; Ahualli et al. J. Colloid Interface Sci. 2007, 309, 342; and Bradshaw-Hajek et al. Langmuir 2008, 24, 4512 is applied to a dense suspension of charged spherical particles, to exhibit the system's dielectric response to an applied electric field as a function of solids volume fraction. The model's predictions of effective permittivity and complex conductivity are favorably compared with published theoretical calculations and experimental measurements on dense colloidal systems. Physical factors governing the volume fraction dependence of the dielectric response are discussed.
