Kinetics of Adsorption of Diethylene-triaminomethylated Polyacrylamide on Dispersed Kaolin Accompanied by Flocculation.
The kinetics of the adsorption of diethylene-triaminomethylated polyacrylamide on kaolin dispersed in water has been investigated. An influence of the flocculation of kaolin dispersion on polymer adsorption has been found. The kinetics of particle aggregation under the influence of dissolved polymer has been studied. Polymer adsorption and particle aggregation proceed simultaneously, accompanied by a steady decrease in the amount of adsorbed polymer per unit mass of kaolin. A mathematical model of the adsorption process, consistent with the experimental data, is described. The rate constants and their ratios have been determined. Copyright 1999 Academic Press.
