A new, definitive perspective of electrokinetic and colloidtransport processes
Responding to renewed interest in the subject of electrokinetics,Electrokinetic and Colloid Transport Phenomena is a timely overviewof the latest research and applications in this field for both thebeginner and the professional. An outgrowth of an earlier text (bycoauthor Jacob Masliyah), this self-contained reference provides anup-to-date summary of the literature on electrokinetic and colloidtransport phenomena as well as direct pedagogical insight into thedevelopment of the subject over the past several decades.
A distinct departure from standard colloid science monographs,Electrokinetic and Colloid Transport Phenomena presents the mostsalient features of the theory in a simple and direct manner,allowing the book to serve as a stepping-stone for further learningand study. In addition, the book uniquely discusses numericalsimulation of electrokinetic problems and demonstrates the use ofcommercial finite element software for solving these multiphysicsproblems. Among the topics covered are:
* Mathematical preliminaries
* Colloidal systems
* Electrostatics and application of electrostatics
* Electric double layer
* Electroosmosis and streaming potential
* Electrophoresis and sedimentation potential
* London-Van der Waals forces and the DLVO theory
* Coagulation and colloid deposition
* Numerical simulation of electrokinetic phenomena
* Applications of electrokinetic phenomena
Because this thorough reference does not require advancedmathematical knowledge, it enables a graduate or a seniorundergraduate student approaching the subject for the first time toeasily interpret the theories. On the other hand, the applicationof relevant mathematical principles and the worked examples areextremely useful to established researchers and professionalsinvolved in a wide range of areas, including electroosmosis,streaming potential, electrophoretic separations, industrialpractices involving colloids and complex fluids, environmentalremediation, suspensions, and microfluidic systems.
