| Abstract |
Electroacoustic method was used to measure the f potentials of mineral oxides and calcium carbonate in artificial sea water (pH 8), and the following values were obtained: synthetic hematite: 0.87 mV; goethite: 1.01 mV; fumed silica:) 3.56 mV; quartz:) 1.38 mV; calcium carbonate: 1.91 mV. The absolute values of the f potentials obtained in the present study are substantially lower than the f potentials in seawater reported by other authors. Our results indicate that the effect of electrostatic repulsion in the interactions between the particles of these materials in seawater is negligible. |
