Abstract

Montmorillonite is a sheet-like clay mineral. The surface charge of the faces is always negative, whereas the surface charges of the edges depend on pH. In this study, pH is around 6.5 implying that the edges are slightly positive; however, the overall charge of the particle appears to be negative as the surface of the faces is 50 times larger than the edges. In the presence of an applied electric field, montmorillonite particles and their double layer will polarize. This polarization affects the electrokinetic response of the particles. In this article, we investigated the effect of ionic strength on the electrokinetic response of montmorillonite particles using the dielectric spectroscopy and electrophoretic mobility. The experimental dipole coefficient found by dielectric spectroscopy was compared to the semi-analytical formula presented by Chassagne [C. Chassagne, J. Colloid Interface Sci. 326 (2008)]. The amplitude of the dipole coefficient of montmorillonite particles increased and the relaxation frequency shifted to lower frequencies with decreasing ionic strength. This tendency is in qualitative agreement with the theoretical prediction. A better agreement between the experimental and theoretical amplitudes of the dipole coefficient and between the high-frequency experimental and theoretical mobilities was obtained when a Stern layer conductivity is introduced. The same values for the zeta potential and Stern layer conductivities were used in both measurement sets. The relaxation frequencies were not changed by addition of a Stern layer. This discrepancy between experimental and theoretical relaxation frequencies are due to the limitation of the theory that is not valid at low κa, as discussed in the conclusion.
