A population balance model for flocculation of colloidal suspensions by polymer bridging
چکیده انگلیسی
A detailed population balance model for flocculation of colloidal suspensions by polymer bridging under quiescent flow conditions is presented. The collision efficiency factor is estimated as a function of interaction forces between polymer coated particles. The total interaction energy is computed as a sum of van der Waals attraction, electrical double layer repulsion and bridging attraction or steric repulsion due to adsorbed polymer. The scaling theory is used to compute the forces due to adsorbed polymer and the van der Waals attraction is modified to account for presence of polymer layer around a particle. The irregular structure of flocs is taken into account by incorporating the mass fractal dimension of flocs. When tested with experimental floc size distribution data published in the literature, the model predicts the experimental behavior adequately. This is the first attempt towards incorporating theories of polymer-induced surface forces into a flocculation model, and as such the model presented here is more general than those proposed previously.
