Electrophoretic behavior of silica-bearing alumina surfaces

OSTI ID:6419582

The influence of silica impurities on the electrophoretic behavior of alumina powders with different chemical pretreatments was studied. Shifts in the isoelectric point as a function of pH of suspension, equilibration time, and nature of container (borosilicate glass or polyethylene) are reported. The results are explained in terms of a coating phenomenon produced through a silica polymerization process.
