Factors of aggregative stability of silica hydrosols

Abstract: The effect of pH on sol formation kinetics, sol properties, and the structure of surface layers has been analyzed. When pH is changing from acid to alkaline, the minimum of stability with pH ~5.5-6.0 is believed to be predetermined by the influence of various stabilizing factors. In the acid region the stabilization is provided by structural forces, in the alkaline region by electrostatic ones. The comparison of experimental with theoretical data enables us to conclude that the DLVO-modified theory, which also… Show more

“…At high pH, the samples with a lower amount of free mPEG present (sample ii) remain cloudy aer being passed through their cloud points, if kept at high temperature for more than 20 minutes before being cooled, but this does not occur for sample i. High pH catalyses the formation of ion-bridges and siloxane bonds through condensation reactions, which promotes aggregation of the silica particles, 24,25 but this process can be avoided with a higher total amount mPEG in the suspension. A steric effect preventing aggregation can therefore exist for sample i, where the free silanes present in the suspension aid this stabilization mechanism though adsorbing in thicker layers, or possibly double layers.…”

“…The effect of pH is somewhat different in that the rate is either retarded or the reaction prevented altogether at high and low pH levels, owing to the formation of high concentrations of silicate anions or un-ionised silicic acid molecules, respectively. Below about pH 2, the rate again increases concomitantly with acidity [59,74], possibly owing to the formation of the cationic species (OH) 3 SiOH 2 + [75]. The pH at which the maximum rate occurs is another area where there is some disagreement, with published values falling in the range pH 6.5±9 [58,69,76,77].…”
