| '''Sedimentation Potential''' occurs when [[dispersed particles]] move under the influence of either [[gravity]] or [[centrifugation]] in a medium. This motion disrupts the equilibrium symmetry of the particle's [[double layer]]. While the particle moves, the ions in the electric double layer lag behind due to the liquid flow. This causes a slight displacement between the [[surface charge]] and the [[electric charge]] of the [[diffuse layer]]. As a result, the moving particle creates a [[Polarity|dipole moment]]. The sum of all of the dipoles generates an electric field which is called ''sedimentation potential''. It can be measured with an open electrical circuit, which is also called '''sedimentation current'''.

| === Background Related to Phenomenon ===
| |
| | |
| [[File:Sedimentation Potential 1n.jpg|thumb|right|Sedimentation Potential]]Electrokinetic phenomena are a family of several different effects that occur in heterogeneous fluids or in porous bodies filled with fluid. The sum of these phenomena deals with the effect on a particle from some outside resulting in a net electrokinetic effect.
| |
| | |
| The common source of all these effects stems from the interfacial 'double layer' of charges. Particles influenced by an external force generate tangential motion of a fluid with respect to an adjacent charged surface. This force may consist of electric, pressure gradient, concentration gradient, gravity. In addition, the moving phase might be either the continuous fluid or dispersed phase.
| |
| | |
| Sedimentation potential is the field of electrokinetic phenomena dealing with the generation of an electric field by sedimenting colloid particles.
| |
| | |
| === History of Sedimentation Potential Models ===
| |
| This phenomenon was first discovered by Dorn in 1879. He observed that a vertical electric field had developed in a suspension of glass beads in water, as the beads were settling. This was the origin of sedimentation potential, which is often referred to as the Dorn effect.
| |
| | |
| Smoluchowski built the first models to calculate the potential in the early 1900s. Booth created a general theory on sedimentation potential in 1954 based on Overbeek's 1943 theory on electrophoresis. In 1980, Stigter extended Booth's model to allow for higher surface potentials. Ohshima created a model based on O'Brien and White 's 1978 model used to analyze the sedimentation velocity of a single charged sphere and the sedimentation potential of a dilute suspension.
| |
| | |
| ===Generation of a Potential ===
| |
| | |
| As a charged particle moves through a gravitational force or centrifugation, an [[electric potential]] is induced. While the particle moves, ions in the electric double layer lag behind creating a net dipole moment behind due to liquid flow. The sum of all dipoles on the particle is what causes sedimentation potential. Sedimentation potential has the opposite effect compared to [[electrophoresis]] where an electric field is applied to the system. Ionic conductivity is often referred to when dealing with sedimentation potential.

| | |
| The following relation provides a measure of the sedimentation potential due to the settling of charged spheres. First discovered by Smoluchowski in 1903 and 1921. This relationship only holds true for non-overlapping electric double layers and for dilute suspensions. In 1954, Booth proved that this idea held true for Pyrex glass powder settling in a KCl solution. From this relation, the sedimentation potential, E<sub>S</sub>, is independent of the particle radius and that E<sub>S</sub> → 0, Φ <sub>p</sub> → 0 (a single particle).

| Smoluchowski's sedimentation potential is defined where ε<sub>0</sub> is the permitivity of free space, D the dimensionless dielectric constant, ξ the zeta potential, g the acceleration due to gravity, Φ the particle volume fraction, ρ the particle density, ρ<sub>o</sub> the medium density, λ the specific volume conductivity, and η the viscosity.<ref name=marlow />
| |
| | |
| Smoluchowski developed the equation under five assumptions:
| |
| # Particles are spherical, nonconducting, and monodispersed.
| |
| # Laminar flow around the particles occurs (Reynolds number <1).
| |
| # Interparticle interactions are negligible.
| |
| # Surface conduction is negligible.
| |
| # The double-layer thickness 1/κ is small compared to the particle radius a (κa>>1).<ref name=marlow>B. J. Marlow, and R. L. Rowell. "Sedimentation Potential in Aqueous Electrolytes." ''Langmuir'' 1985, 1, 83-90</ref>

| An improved design cell was developed to determine sedimentation potential, specific conductivity, volume fraction of the solids as well as pH. Two pairs of electrodes are used in this set up, one to measure potential difference and the other for resistance. A flip switch is utilized to avoid polarization of the resistance electrodes and buildup of charge by alternating the current. The pH of the system could be monitored and the electrolyte was drawn into the tube using a vacuum pump.<ref name=Uddin>Uddin, S.; Mirnezami, M., and Finch, J.A.

| === Measuring Sedementation Potential ===
| |
| [[File:Screen shot 2012-05-30 at 7.22.38 PM.png|thumb|Instrumental Setup to measure Sedimentation Potential]]
| |
| Sedimentation potential is measured by attaching [[electrodes]] to a glass column filled with the dispersion of interest. A [[voltmeter]] is attached to measure the potential generated from the suspension. To account for different geometries of the electrode, the column is typically rotated 180 degrees while measuring the potential. This difference in potential through rotation by 180 degrees is twice the sedimentation potential. The [[zeta potential]] can be determined through measurement by sedimentation potential, as the concentration, conductivity of the suspension, density of the particle, and potential difference are known. By rotating the column 180 degrees, drift and geometry differences of the column can be ignored.<ref name=ozaki>Masataka Ozaki, Tomoyuki Ando, and Kenji Mizuno.

| <math>\zeta = \frac{\eta \lambda E_{s}}{\varepsilon_{r}\varepsilon _{0}(\rho -\rho _{0})g }</math>
| |
| | |
| When dealing with the case of concentrated systems, the zeta potential can be determined through measurement of the sedimentation potential <math>E_{s}</math>, from the potential difference relative to the distance between the electrodes. The other parameters represent the following: <math>\eta</math> the viscosity of the medium; <math>\lambda </math> the bulk conductivity; <math>\varepsilon_{r}</math> the relative permitivity of the medium; <math>\varepsilon_{0}</math> the permitivity of free space; <math>\rho</math> the density of the particle; <math>\rho_{0}</math> the density of the medium; <math>g</math> is the acceleration due to gravity; and σ<sup>∞</sup> is the electrical conductivity of the bulk electrolyte solution.<ref name=ozaki />

| == Real World Applications==
| |
| | |
| ===Applications of sedimentation field flow fractionation (SFFF)===
| |
| Sedimentation field flow fractionation (SFFF) is a non-destructive separation technique which can be used for both separation, and collecting fractions. Some applications of SFFF include characterization of particle size of latex materials for adhesives, coatings and paints, colloidal silica for binders, coatings and compounding agents, titanium oxide pigments for paints, paper and textiles, emulsion for soft drinks, and biological materials like viruses and liposomes.<ref name=merkus>Merkus, H.G.; Mori, Y.; Scarlett B. "Particle size analysis by sedimentation field flow fractional, Performance and application" ''Colloid and Polymer Science'' 1989, 267, 1102-1107</ref>
| |
| | |
| Some main aspects of SFFF include: it provides high-resolution possibilities for size distribution measurements with high precision, the resolution is dependent on experimental conditions, the typical analysis time is 1 to 2 hours, and it is a non-destructive technique which offers the possibility of collecting fraction.<ref name=merkus />
| |
| | |
| ===Particle size analysis by sedimentation field flow fractionation===
| |
| As sedimentation field flow fractionation (SFFF) is one of field flow fractionation separation techniques, it is appropriate for fractionation and characterization of particulate materials and soluble samples in the colloid size range. Differences in interaction between a centrifugal force field and particles with different masses or sizes lead to the separation. An exponential distribution of particles of a certain size or weight is results due to the Brownian motion. Some of the assumptions to develop the theoretical equations include that there is no interaction between individual particles and equilibrium can occur anywhere in separation channels.<ref name=merkus />
