As the first of its kind, this book provides a valuable
introduction for scientists and engineers interested in
liquid/fluid interfaces and disperse systems to the rapidly
developing area of adsorption dynamics. It is the first extensive
review available on the subject of dynamics of adsorption and gives
a general summary of the current state of adsorption kinetics
theory and experiments. Current progress in recently designed
set-ups and improved and generalised known methods for studying
interfacial relaxations is reviewed. In addition, the role of the
electric charge of surfactants in the adsorption process is
discussed in terms of a non-equilibrium distribution of adsorbing
ions in the diffuse layer.
Present theories of the effect of dynamic adsorption layers on
mobile surfaces, such as moving drops and bubbles, based on both
diffusion and kinetic controlled adsorption models are described
and efficient approximate analytical methods to solve the
mathematical problem of coupling surfactant transport and
hydrodynamics are introduced. The role of a dynamic adsorption
layer in bubble rising, film drainage and film stabilisation and in
complex processes such as flotation and microflotation is
discussed.
Containing more than 1100 references, the book is essential
reading for industrial scientists and graduate and post-graduate
students in physical, surface and colloid chemistry,
physico-chemical hydrodynamics, water purification and mineral
processing.
