The boundary effect on the electrophoresis of particles covered by a membrane layer is discussed by considering a spherical particle in a spherical cavity under the conditions where the effect of double-layer polarization can be significant. The influence of the key parameters of the system under consideration on the electrophoretic mobility of a particle is investigated. These include the surface potential; the thickness of the double layer; the relative size of the cavity; and the thickness, the fixed charge density, and the friction coefficient of the membrane layer. The fixed charge in the membrane layer of a particle is found to have a significant influence on its electrophoretic behavior. For instance, depending upon the amount of fixed charge in the membrane layer, the mobility of a particle may exhibit a local minimum as the thickness of the double layer varies.  相似文献

An analytical study of diffusiophoresis in a homogeneous suspension of identical spherical charge-regulating particles with an arbitrary thickness of the electric double layers in a solution of a symmetrically charged electrolyte with a uniform prescribed concentration gradient is presented. The charge regulation due to association/dissociation reactions of ionogenic functional groups on the particle surface is approximated by a linearized regulation model, which specifies a linear relationship between the surface charge density and the surface potential. The effects of particle-particle electrohydrodynamic interactions are taken into account by employing a unit cell model, and the overlap of the double layers of adjacent particles is allowed. The electrokinetic equations that govern the electric potential profile, the ionic concentration distributions, and the fluid flow field in the electrolyte solution surrounding the particle in a unit cell are linearized assuming that the system is only slightly distorted from equilibrium. Using a regular perturbation method, these linearized equations are solved with the equilibrium surface charge density (or zeta potential) of the particle as the small perturbation parameter. Closed-form formulas for the diffusiophoretic velocity of the charge-regulating sphere correct to the second order of its surface charge density or zeta potential are derived. Our results indicate that the charge regulation effect on the diffusiophoretic mobility is quite sensitive to the boundary condition for the electric potential specified at the outer surface of the unit cell. For the limiting cases of a very dilute suspension and a very thin or very thick electric double layer, the particle velocity is independent of the charge regulation parameter.  相似文献

The translation of a charged, elongated cylindrical nanoparticle along the axis of a nanopore driven by an imposed axial salt concentration gradient is investigated using a continuum theory, which consists of the ionic mass conservation equations for the ionic concentrations, the Poisson equation for the electric potential in the solution, and the modified Stokes equations for the hydrodynamic field. The diffusiophoretic motion is driven by the induced electrophoresis and chemiphoresis. The former is driven by the generated overall electric field arising from the difference in the ionic diffusivities and the double layer polarization, while the latter is generated by the induced osmotic pressure gradient around the charged particle. The induced diffusiophoretic motion is investigated as functions of the imposed salt concentration gradient, the ratio of the particle’s radius to the double layer thickness, the cylinder’s aspect ratio (length/radius), the ratio of the nanopore size to the particle size, the surface charge densities of the nanoparticle and the nanopore, and the type of the salt used. The induced diffusiophoretic motion of a nanorod in an uncharged nanopore is mainly governed by the induced electrophoresis, driven by the induced electric field arising from the double layer polarization. The induced particle motion is driven by the induced electroosmotic flow, if the charges of the nanorod and nanopore wall have the same sign.  相似文献

Recent advances in material science and technology yield not only various kinds of nano- and sub-micro-scaled particles but also particles of various charged conditions such as Janus particles. The characterization of these particles can be challenging because conventional electrophoresis theory is usually based on drastic assumptions that are unable to realistically describe the actual situation. In this study, the influence of the nonuniform charged conditions on the surface of a particle at an arbitrary level of surface potential and double layer thickness on its electrophoretic behavior is investigated for the first time in the literature taking account of the effect of double-layer polarization. Several important results are observed. For instance, for the same averaged surface potential, the mobility of a nonuniformly charged particle is generally smaller than that of a uniformly charged particle, and the difference between the two depends upon the thickness of double layer. This implies that using the conventional electrophoresis theory may result in appreciable deviation, which can be on the order of ca. 20%. In addition, the nonuniform surface charge can yield double vortex in the vicinity of a particle by breaking the symmetric of the flow field, which has potential applications in mixing and/or regulating the medium confined in a submicrometer-sized space, where conventional mixing devices are inapplicable.  相似文献

The diffusiophoresis in a homogeneous suspension of identical dielectric spheres with an arbitrary thickness of the electric double layers in a solution of a symmetrically charged electrolyte with a constant imposed concentration gradient is analytically studied. The effects of particle interactions (or particle volume fraction) are taken into account by employing a unit cell model, and the overlap of the double layers of adjacent particles is allowed. The electrokinetic equations that govern the ionic concentration distributions, the electrostatic potential profile, and the fluid flow field in the electrolyte solution surrounding the charged sphere in a unit cell are linearized assuming that the system is only slightly distorted from equilibrium. Using a perturbation method, these linearized equations are solved with the surface charge density (or zeta potential) of the particle as the small perturbation parameter. Analytical expressions for the diffusiophoretic velocity of the dielectric sphere in closed form correct to the second order of its surface charge density or zeta potential are obtained from a balance between its electrostatic and hydrodynamic forces. Comparisons of the results of the cell model with different conditions at the outer boundary of the cell are made.  相似文献

The boundary effect on electrophoresis is investigated by considering a spherical particle at an arbitrary position in a spherical cavity. Our previous analysis is extended to the case where the effect of double-layer polarization can be significant. Also, the effect of a charged boundary, which yields an electroosmotic flow and a pressure gradient, thereby making the problem under consideration more complicated, is investigated. The influences of the level of the surface potential, the thickness of double layer, the relative size of a sphere, and its position in a cavity on the electrophoretic behavior of the sphere are discussed. Some results that are of practical significance are observed. For example, if a positively charged sphere is placed in an uncharged cavity, its mobility may have a local minimum as the thickness of the double layer varies. If an uncharged sphere is placed in a positively charged cavity, the mobility may have a local minimum as the position of the sphere varies. Also, if the size of a sphere is fixed, its mobility may have a local minimum as the size of a cavity varies. These provide useful information for the design of an electrophoresis apparatus.  相似文献

The electrophoresis of a rigid sphere along the axis of a cylindrical pore is investigated theoretically. Previous analysis is extended to the case where the effects of double-layer polarization and electroosmotic flow can be significant. The influences of the surface potential, the thickness of the double layer, and the relative size of a pore on the electrophoretic behavior of a sphere are discussed. Some interesting results are observed. For example, if both a sphere and a pore are positively charged, then the mobility of the sphere has a local minimum as the thickness of its double layer varies. Depending upon the level of the surface potential of a sphere and the degree of significance of the boundary effect, the mobility of the sphere may change its sign twice as the thickness of its double layer varies. This result can play a significant role in electrophoresis measurements.  相似文献

The sedimentation in a homogeneous suspension of charged spherical particles with an arbitrary thickness of the electric double layers is analytically studied. The effects of particle interactions are taken into account by employing a unit cell model. Overlap of the double layers of adjacent particles is allowed, and the polarization effect in the double layer surrounding each particle is considered. The electrokinetic equations that govern the ionic concentration distributions, the electric potential profile, and the fluid flow field in the electrolyte solution in a unit cell are linearized assuming that the system is only slightly distorted from equilibrium. Using a perturbation method, these linearized equations are solved for a symmetrically charged electrolyte with the surface charge density (or zeta potential) of the particle as the small perturbation parameter. An analytical expression for the settling velocity of the charged sphere in closed form is obtained from a balance among its gravitational, electrostatic, and hydrodynamic forces. A closed-form formula for the sedimentation potential in a suspension of identical charged spheres is also derived by using the requirement of zero net electric current. Our results demonstrate that the effects of overlapping double layers are quite significant, even for the case of thin double layers. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.  相似文献

An analytic expression is obtained for the diffusiophoretic mobility of a charged spherical colloidal particle in a symmetrical electrolyte solution. The obtained expression, which is expressed in terms of exponential integrals, is correct to the third order of the particle zeta potential so that it is applicable for colloidal particles with low and moderate zeta potentials at arbitrary values of the electrical double-layer thickness. This is an improvement of the mobility formula derived by Keh and Wei, which is correct to the second order of the particle zeta potential. This correction, which is related to the electrophoresis component of diffusiophoresis, becomes more significant as the difference between the ionic drag coefficients of electrolyte cations and anions becomes larger and vanishes in the limit of thin or thick double layer. A simpler approximate mobility expression is further obtained that does not involve exponential integrals.  相似文献

An exact analysis is presented for the diffusiophoresis and electrophoresis of a rigid elliptic cylindrical particle in a uniform applied field oriented arbitrarily with respect to its axis. The range of the interaction between the solute species and the particle surface is assumed to be small relative to the minimum dimension of the particle, but the effect of polarization of the diffuse species in the thin particle-solute interaction layer is incorporated. To solve the conservative equations governing the system, a slip velocity of fluid and normal fluxes of solute species at the outer edge of the thin diffuse layer which balance convection and diffusion of the solute species along the particle surface are used as the boundary conditions for the fluid domain outside the diffuse layer. Expressions for the migration velocity of the particle are obtained in closed forms for the cases of diffusiophoresis in a nonionic solute concentration gradient, diffusiophoresis in a concentration gradient of symmetric electrolyte, and electrophoresis in an external electric field. An interesting feature is found that the diffusiophoretic or electrophoretic velocity of the particle decreases with the reduction of the maximum length of the particle in the direction of migration. Also, the average migration velocity for an ensemble of identical, noninteracting elliptic cylinders with random orientation distribution is obtained for each case considered.  相似文献

The electrophoresis of a rigid, positively charged ellipsoidal particle at the center of a spherical cavity is investigated theoretically under the conditions where the effects of double-layer polarization and the presence of an electroosmotic flow can be important. The equations governing the problem under consideration and the associated boundary conditions are solved numerically, and the influences of the key parameters on the electrophoretic mobility of the particle are discussed. We show that if the cavity is uncharged, the effect of double-layer polarization yields a local minimum in the electrophoretic mobility as the thickness of the double layer varies. This local minimum disappears if the cavity is also positively charged. In addition to reducing the scaled mobility of an ellipsoid, the presence of the boundary is also capable of influencing the relative magnitudes of the scaled mobility for particles of various shapes. For instance, if the volume of an ellipsoid is fixed, the scaled mobility ranks as prolate > sphere > oblate if the boundary effect is unimportant, but that order is reversed if the boundary effect is important.  相似文献

The electrophoretic movement of a sphere normal to an uncharged, planar surface is analyzed theoretically, taking the effect of double layer polarization into account. Here, both the surface potential of the particle and the thickness of the double layer surrounding it can be arbitrary. We show that if double layer polarization is neglected, the effect of the surface potential of a particle on its electrophoretic velocity is inappreciable. On the contrary, it becomes significant if double layer polarization is present. However, if the distance between the particle and the surface is sufficiently close, since the hydrodynamic effect dominates, the influence of the surface potential and double layer polarization becomes insignificant.  相似文献

An analytical study is presented for the diffusiophoresis and electrophoresis of a rigid nonconducting spheroid in a uniform applied field that is oriented arbitrarily with respect to its axis of revolution. The range of the interaction between the solute species and the particle surface is assumed to be small relative to the dimension of the particle, but the effect of polarization of the diffuse species in the thin solute-particle interaction layer is incorporated. To solve the conservative equations governing the system, a slip velocity of fluid and normal fluxes of solute species at the outer edge of the thin diffuse layer which balance convection and diffusion of the solute species along the particle surface are used as the boundary conditions for the fluid domain outside the diffuse layer. Explicit expressions for the migration velocity of the spheroidal particle are obtained for the cases of diffusiophoresis in a nonionic solute concentration gradient, diffusiophoresis in a concentration gradient of symmetric electrolyte, and electrophoresis in an external electric field. An interesting feature is found that the diffusiophoretic or electrophoretic velocity of the particle decreases with the reduction of the maximum length of the particle in the direction of migration. Also, the average migration velocity for an ensemble of identical, non-interacting spheroids with random orientation distribution is obtained for each case considered.  相似文献

An analytical study is presented for the quasisteady sedimentation of a charged spherical particle located at the center of a charged spherical cavity. The overlap of the electric double layers is allowed, and the polarization (relaxation) effect in the double layers is considered. The electrokinetic equations that govern the ionic concentration distributions, electric potential profile, and fluid flow field in the electrolyte solution are linearized assuming that the system is only slightly distorted from equilibrium. Using a perturbation method, these linearized equations are solved for a symmetric electrolyte with the surface charge densities of the particle and cavity as the small perturbation parameters. An analytical expression for the settling velocity of the charged sphere is obtained from a balance among the gravitational, electrostatic, and hydrodynamic forces acting on it. Our results indicate that the presence of the particle charge reduces the magnitude of the sedimentation velocity of the particle in an uncharged cavity and the presence of the fixed charge at the cavity surface increases the magnitude of the sedimentation velocity of an uncharged particle in a charged cavity. For the case of a charged sphere settling in a charged cavity with equivalent surface charge densities, the net effect of the fixed charges will increase the sedimentation velocity of the particle. For the case of a charged sphere settling in a charged cavity with their surface charge densities in opposite signs, the net effect of the fixed charges in general reduces/increases the sedimentation velocity of the particle if the surface charge density of the particle has a greater/smaller magnitude than that of the cavity. The effect of the surface charge at the cavity wall on the sedimentation of a colloidal particle is found to increase with a decrease in the particle-to-cavity size ratio and can be significant in appropriate situations.  相似文献

The diffusiophoretic and electrophoretic motions of two colloidal spheres in the solution of a symmetrically charged electrolyte are analyzed using a method of reflections. The particles are oriented arbitrarily with respect to the electrolyte gradient or the electric field, and they are allowed to differ in radius and in zeta potential. The thickness of the electric double layers surrounding the particles is assumed to be small relative to the radius of each particle and to the gap width between the particles, but the effect of polarization of the mobile ions in the diffuse layer is taken into account. A slip velocity of fluid and normal fluxes of solute ions at the outer edge of the thin double layer are used as the boundary conditions for the fluid phase outside the double layers. The method of reflections is based on an analysis of the electrochemical potential and fluid velocity disturbances produced by a single dielectric sphere placed in an arbitrarily varying electrolyte gradient or electric field. The solution for two-sphere interactions is obtained in expansion form correct to O(r(12)(-7)), where r(12) is the distance between the particle centers. Our analytical results are found to be in good agreement with the available numerical solutions obtained using a boundary collocation method. On the basis of a model of statistical mechanics, the results of two-sphere interactions are used to analytically determine the first-order effect of the volume fraction of particles of each type on the mean diffusiophoretic and eletrophoretic velocities in a bounded suspension. For a suspension of identical spheres, the mean diffusiophoretic velocity can be decreased or increased as the volume fraction of the particles is increased, while the mean electrophoretic velocity is reduced with the increase in the particle concentration. Generally speaking, the particle interaction effects can be quite significant in typical situations. Copyright 2000 Academic Press.  相似文献

The problem of diffusiophoretic and electrophoretic motions of a dielectric spherical particle in an electrolyte solution situated at an arbitrary position between two infinite parallel plane walls is studied theoretically in the quasisteady limit of negligible Peclet and Reynolds numbers. The applied electrolyte concentration gradient or electric field is uniform and perpendicular to the plane walls. The electric double layer at the particle surface is assumed to be thin relative to the particle radius and to the particle-wall gap widths, but the polarization effect of the diffuse ions in the double layer is incorporated. To solve the conservative equations, the general solution is constructed from the fundamental solutions in both cylindrical and spherical coordinates. The boundary conditions are enforced first at the plane walls by the Hankel transforms and then on the particle surface by a collocation technique. Numerical results for the diffusiophoretic and electrophoretic velocities of the particle relative to those of a particle under identical conditions in an unbounded solution are presented for various cases. The collocation results agree well with the approximate analytical solutions obtained by using a method of reflections. The presence of the walls can reduce or enhance the particle velocity, depending on the properties of the particle-solution system and the relative particle-wall separation distances. The boundary effects on diffusiophoresis and electrophoresis of a particle normal to two plane walls are found to be quite significant and complicated, and generally stronger than those parallel to the confining walls.  相似文献

The diffusiophoresis of a concentrated spherical dispersion of colloidal particles subject to a small electrolyte gradient is analyzed theoretically for an arbitrary zeta potential and double layer thickness. In particular, the influence of the difference in the diffusivities of cations and anions is discussed. A unit cell model is used to simulate a spherical dispersion, and a pseudospectral method is adopted to solve the equations governing the phenomenon under consideration. We show that, as in the case of an infinitely dilute dispersion, when the diffusivities of cations and anions are different, the diffusiophoretic mobility is no longer an even function of the zeta potential or double layer thickness. In contrast to the case of identical diffusivity of cations and anions, a local electric field is induced in the present case due to an unbalanced charge distribution between higher and lower concentration regions. Depending upon the direction of this induced electric field, the diffusiophoretic mobility can be larger or smaller than that for the case of identical diffusivity. The diffusiophoretic mobility is influenced mainly by the induced electric field arising from the difference in the ionic diffusivities, the concentration gradient, and the effect of double layer polarization.  相似文献

The electrophoresis of a spherical particle along the axis of a cylindrical pore is investigated under conditions of low surface potential and thick double layer. In particular, the effect of electroosmotic flow is taken into account. The results of numerical simulation reveal that if both particle and pore are positively charged, the variation of the mobility of a particle may have a local minimum as the thickness of the double layer varies, which is not reported in the literature. This is mainly due to the charge induced on the particle surface, which arises from the presence of the charged boundary. Depending upon the level of the surface potential of the pore, the presence of the local minima may lead to a reversal in the direction of particle movement as the thickness of the double layer surrounding it varies: if the surface potential is either too low or too high, reversal does not occur; if it has a medium level, reversal occurs twice. This interesting observation can play a role in electrophoresis measurements. Previous analysis predicts that reversal always occurs once, regardless of the level of the surface potential of the pore.  相似文献

Diffusiophoresis of concentrated suspensions of spherical particles subject to a small electrolyte gradient is analyzed theoretically at arbitrary levels of zeta potential and double-layer thickness. The Kuwabara unit cell model is adopted to describe the system under consideration. The effect of double-layer polarization is taken into account. It is found that the diffusiophoretic mobility exhibits a local maximum as well as a local minimum with varying zeta potential or double-layer thickness, similar to the corresponding dilute dispersion. The direction of the particle movement may even change back and forth. The previous low-zeta-potential approach is found to significantly overestimate the diffusiophoretic mobility as the zeta potential goes high. The deviation may be several fold sometimes. The effect of the volume fraction ratio of colloids is also examined. The higher the ratio, the lower the mobility.  相似文献

The sedimentation behavior of a concentrated suspension of charged liquid drops is analyzed theoretically at arbitrary surface potential and arbitrary double-layer thickness; that is, the effects of double-layer polarization and double-layer overlapping are taken into account. Kuwabara's unit cell model is employed to model the suspension system, and a pseudospectral method based on the Chebyshev polynomial is adopted to solve the governing electrokinetic equations numerically. Several interesting phenomena, which are of significant influence if the internal flow inside a liquid drop is taken into account, are observed. Key factors are examined such as the thickness of the electric double layer, the magnitude of the surface potential, the volume fraction of liquid drops, and the viscosity of the internal fluid. The results presented here add another dimension to the previous studies, which include concentrated suspensions of rigid particles and mercury drops under low zeta potential, with the consideration of the internal flow of liquid drops and double-layer polarization, characterized by its viscosity and the zeta potential respectively. It is found, among other things, that the smaller the viscosity of the internal fluid is, the higher the sedimentation velocity of liquid drops. The higher the zeta potential is, the larger the decrease in sedimentation velocity. In particular, the sedimentation velocity of an inviscid drop (gas bubble) is about three times higher than that of a rigid one. The decrease in sedimentation velocity resulting from the effect of double-layer polarization achieves about 50% if the zeta potential is sufficiently high.  相似文献
