Coagulation and Flocculation, Second Edition is a practical reference for the researchers in the field of the stabilization and the destabilization of fine solid dispersions. By omitting chapters that remained unchanged from the first edition, the editors completely update, rewrite, and expand upon all chapters in second edition to reflect a decade of the latest advances in both theoretical and application aspects of the field. Expanded material includes dissociation from a solid surface with independent sites; improvements of the Gouy-Chapman model; electrical double layer, surface ionization, and surface heterogeneity; thin liquid films and modeling of a semi batch process using microprocesses probabilities; clay mineral intracrystalline reactions , applications, and gelation. New chapters cover homopolymers and their effect on colloid stability, including never before published figures and equations; the stability of suspensions in the presence of surfactants, polymers, and mixtures;and the flocculation and dewatering of fine-particle suspensions, emphasizing floc formation, growth, structure, and applications.
