Effect of the presence of cationic polyacrylamide on the surface properties of aqueous alumina suspension-stability mechanism
Source abstract
Abstract
The effects of solution pH and the content of cationic groups in polyacrylamide (PAM) macromolecules on the stability mechanism of aqueous alumina suspension were investigated. The following experimental techniques were applied: spectrophotometry, potentiometric titration, microelectrophoresis, viscosimetry and turbidimetry. They enable determination of polymer adsorbed amount, surface charge density and zeta potential of solid particles in the presence and absence of PAM, as well as thickness of polymer adsorption layer, size of macromolecules in the solution and stability of the Al 2 O 3 -polymer systems, respectively. The obtained results indicate that adsorption of PAM increases with the increasing pH, whereas the thickness of polymeric adsorption layer decreases. Additionally, the greater the number of cationic groups in the PAM chains is, the higher adsorption was found. The polymer presence influences on the alumina suspension stability. At pH 3 and 6 the slight deterioration of stability conditions of solid particle covered with polyacrylamide was observed. At pH 9 the systems containing polymer are unstable, similarly to the suspension without PAM, but the mechanism of their destabilization is different. © 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
