Abstract
Coagulation Rates of Clay Minerals and Natural Sediments
Ronald J. Gibbs
ABSTRACT
Coagulation experiments conducted using illite, kaolinite, montmorillonite, and four natural sediment samples in blade and Couette reactors with solutions of various salinities yielded collision-efficiency factors significantly higher than those in the previous literature, indicating that coagulation begins at lower salinities (1/2-1). The natural sediments do not generally behave as might be predicted for a mixture of the standards of the minerals of which the natural sediment samples were comprised. The half-times for coagulation of the particles indicate that, in nature, the coagulation process would probably be completed in the first few parts-per-thousand salinity.
