Zeta Potential Analysis of various metal oxide powders and mixed oxide simulants


EMSL Project ID
41292

Abstract

The IEP of a range of metal oxides will be determined under different ionic strengths. This work is required to support EM-31 WP-2 Alternative Waste Pretreatment sub-task 2.3.6 for the FY10 EM31 project (project number 57154). Testing will assess the impact of feed variability on filtration behavior. In particular, tests will be performed with simulants of varying chemical affinity for the filter membrane material, hence zeta potential measurements of these simulants will be measured. The resources of EMSL are required for this work because the capability required to perform this analysis is not available outside EMSL at PNNL at this time.
