Abstract
Abstract In this study, pulp and interfacial chemistry, gravity settling/drainage and electroosmotic (EO) dewatering behaviour of two types of fine, Na-exchanged smectite clay (high and low Na content montmorillonites) slurries were investigated as a function of background electrolyte ionic strength and time at pH 7.5 with constant voltage (0.5 vs. 1 V/cm initial field strength) or current density (12.5 vs. 25 A/m2). The two smectite variants displayed significantly different mineral chemistry and particle zeta potential, the latter dependent on Ca(II) background. Suppressed swelling and marked reduction in zeta potential magnitude occurred at 0.03–0.3 M Ca(II) ionic strength, the extent of which was greater for low than high Na-smectite pulps. Ca(II) ionic strength of ~0.1 M improved pre-EO gravity dewatering from
