Modeling of colloid agglomeration inhibition inside a slitlike pore.
An extended particle agglomeration control model and Monte Carlo simulation methodology were used to describe the behavior of the colloidal aggregation process in presence of inhibitor as a confined fluid. In this work results about the mean cluster size, Z, with respect to different variables, temperature, inhibitor concentration and pore size, are presented and showed that Z strongly depends on the slitlike pore size. In addition, a temperature interval where the heating of the system leads to the particle clustering was found.
