Montmorillonite is one of representative inorganic clay particles. As the characteristics of clay particulate matter in aqueous environment determine the efficiencies of wastewater treatment and some industrial operations, it is essential to understand its aquatic behavior in relation with turbidity. The change of electrokinetic potential of montmorillonite suspension shows that it tends to negatively increase as the pH of suspension increases. In addition, it is observed that its potential is around 0mV when the solution pH is ca. 5. The turbidity of suspension is shown to be very low when pH is lower than its isoelectric point. However, the turbidity gradually enhances according to beyond isoelectric point. These results reveal that the correlation between electrokinetic potential and turbidity for clay mineral suspension is peculiar which should be fundamentally considered for systematic treatment of wastewater.

In cases of the microfluidic channel, the electrokinetic influence on the transport behavior can be found. The externally applied body force originated from the electrostatic interaction between the nonlinear Poisson-Boltzmann field and the flow-induced electrical field is applied in the equation of motion. The electrostatic potential profile is computed a priori by applying the finite difference scheme, and an analytical solution to the Navier-Stokes equation of motion for slit-like microchannel is obtained via the Green's function. An explicit analytical expression for the induced electrokinetic potential is derived as functions of relevant physicochemical parameters. The effects of the electric double layer, the zeta potential of the solid surface, and the charge condition of the channel wall on the velocity profile as well as the electroviscous behavior are examined. With increases in either electric double layer or zeta potential, the average fluid velocity in the channel of same charge is entirely reduced, whereas the electroviscous effect becomes stronger. We observed an opposite behavior in the channel of opposite charge, where the attractive electrostatic interactions are presented.

In aqueous slurry processing of silicon nitride, the interaction of dispersant and binder on the surface of particles was studied to identify the effect of these additives on ceramic powder processing. Polymethacrylic acid (PMAA) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) were used as dispersant and binder, respectively. the adsorption isotherms of PMAA and PVA for the silicon nitride suspension were determined, while the adsorption of PMAA was differentiated in the mixed additive system by ultraviolet spectroscopy. These experiments were done in order to investigate the effect of these organic additives on the physicochemical properties of silicon nitride suspensions. The electrokinetic behavior of silicon nitride was subsequently measured by electrokinetic sonic amplitude (ESA). As PMAA adsorbed onto silicon nitride, the isoelectric point (pHicp) shifted from pH=6.7 to acidic pH, depending on the surface coverage of PMAA. However, adsorption of PVA did not change the pHicp of suspensions, but did decrease the surface potential of silicon nitride moderately. The rheological behavior of silicon nitride suspensions was measured to assess the stability of particles in aqueous media, and was correlated with the electrokinetic behavior and adsorption isotherm data for silicon nitride.

일반적으로 전기 동역학적 전위는 세기성질로 알려져 있으며 이를 바탕으로 연구들이 진행되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 대표적 무기성 물질인 몬모릴로나이트를 대상으로 하여 분산체를 제조해 전위를 측정하였다. 전기 동역학적 전위를 측정한 결과, 몬모릴로나이트의 질량이 증가할수록 전위값이 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 이는 몬모릴로나이트의 질량이 증가하면서 단위질량당 흡착하는 이온의 양이 적어지기 때문이라고 사료된다. 이러한 결과는 전위가 세기성질이 아닌 크기성질을 따른다고 생각할 수 있다. 또한 측정한 전기 동역학적 전위값을 통해 입자간 상호 에너지를 측정한 결과 몬모릴로나이트의 질량이 증가할수록 상호 입자간 에너지가 점차적으로 감소하는 경향이 관찰되었다.

Surfactant-enhanced electrokinetic (EK) remediation is an emerging technology that can effectively remove hydrocarbons from low-permeability soils. In this study, the electrokinetic remediation using Calfax 16L-35 was conducted for the removal of phenanthrene from kaolinite. An anionic surfactant Calfax 16L-35 was used at concentrations of 5, 15, and 30g/L to enhance the solubility of phenanthrene. When the surfactant solution was applied to EK system, low electrical potential gradient was maintained because of its ions. Even when the surfactant concentration was high, the removal efficiency of phenanthrene was low After the operation, most of surfactants were remained in soil and there were few in effluent. This phenomena was observed because the migration of Calfax 16L-35 from cathode to anode was predominant over electroosmotic flow which moved in opposite direction. Therefore, the anionic surfactant Calfax 16L-35 is considered to be improper in surfactant - enhanced electrokinetic remediation.

Adsorption behavior and amount of phenolic resin followed silica (SiO2) formation onto silicon nitride(Si3N4) surface were investigated using electrokinetic sonic amplitude (ESA) technique and with UV spectrometer, to fabricate Si3N4/SiC nano-composite based on reaction between SiO2 formed and phenolic resin absorbed onto Si3N4 particle. The amount of SiO2 formed and carbon from phenolic resin absorbed onto Si3N4 surface were calculated quantitatively to adjust the reaction between SiO2 and phenolic resin, resulting in no residual SiO2 and carbon. As a result, pre-heated tempeature for optimized reaction was below 25$0^{\circ}C$, in which there was no residual SiO2 and carbon.

In wet powder processing of alumina, a number of organic molecules such as dispersant and binder are used to produce the flow behavior and properties requisite for shape forming. In this study, interparticle forces of alumina particles suspended in aqueous media were controlled by suspension pH, poly (methacrylic acid) (PMAA, used as dispersant) and poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA, used as binder). The combined adsorption isotherms of the dispersant and binder additives on alumina were determined by total organic carbon analyzer, while the adsorption of dispersant was differentiated from binder in the mixed additive system by ultraviolet spectroscopy. The electrokinetic behavior of alumina suspensions were then correlated with the adsorption characteristics of dispersant and binder onto alumina particles. It was found that the isoelectric ($pH_{iep}$) of alumina shifted from pH 8.9${\pm}$0.1 to acidic pH as PMAA concentration increased, while PVA adsorption did not affect the $pH_{iep}$ but caused a decrease in the near surface potential.

The adsorption features of copper ion have been investigated by taking the barley residue which occurring from the beer production process as an adsorbent. Under the experimental conditions, adsorption equilibrium of copper ion was attained within 30 minutes after the adsorption started and the adsorption reaction was observed to be first order. As the temperature increased, the adsorbed amount of copper ion at equilibrium was also increased, which indicated that the adsorption reaction was endothermic. Based on the experimental results which obtained by varying the temperatures, several thermodynamic parameters for copper adsorption reaction were estimated. Regarding the electrokinetic behavior of barley residue, its electrokinetic potential was observed to be positive below pH 5 and turned into negative above this pH. In the pH range from 1.5 to 4, copper adsorption was found to be increased, which was well explained by the electrokinetic behavior of barley residue in the pH range. When nitrilotriacetic acid, which is a complexing agent, was coexisted with copper ion, equilibrium adsorption of copper ion was decreased and this was presumed to be due to the formation of metal complex. In addition, the adsorbed amount of copper ion was examined to be increased when $KNO_3$ was coexisted, however, it approached a saturated value above a certain concentration of $KNO_3$.

전기투석장치, 전기화학 전지, 미세유체역학 분석 장치 등에서 사용하는 이온 교환 막 근처의 대표적인 비선형 전기동역학 현상은 전기와류 불안정성이다. 전기투석 장치에서 전기와류 불안정성은 물질 전달 속도 증폭을 통해 물질 전달에 대한 이점을 제공한다. 그러나 전기화학 전지나 미세유체역학 장치에서 발생하는 불안정성은 원치 않는 물질 전달 기작을 유발시킨다. 본 연구에서는 전기와류 불안정성의 제어하기 위해, 인가 전압과 공간 제약 효과의 전기와류 불안정성에 대한 영향을 연구하였다. 그 결과, 인가 전압과 공간 제약의 정도에 따라 불안정성의 동역학이 안정 영역 - 고정 영역 - 혼돈 영역 순으로 전이됨을 밝혀내었다. 더불어, 동역학 전이에 대한 안정성 곡선을 수치적으로 결정하였다. 결론적으로, 공간 제약 효과는 전기동역학적 혼돈을 제어할 수 있는 효과적인 기작으로 활용 가능할 것이다.
