Characteristics of the bentonite in aqueous suspensiona.
pH | ζ-Potential (mV) | d(0.5) (μm) | d(0.9) (μm) | D[3.2] (μm) |
---|---|---|---|---|
9.6 | −43 ± 1 | 2.3 | 3.4 | 2.1 |
d(0.5) – median of the particle size distribution; d(0.9) – 90% undersize percentile diameter of the particle size distribution; D[3.2] – surface weighted mean.
