Body-force-driven migration in a homogeneous suspension of spherical charge-regulating particles with electrical double layers of arbitrary thickness is analyzed. The charge regulation due to association/dissociation reactions of functional groups on the particle surface is approximated by a lineari

✦ Synopsis
This article discusses the charging behavior of particles in a colloidal suspension allowing for a simple model reaction at the surface of the colloidal particles that regulates the total number Z f of free counterions. This number is to be distinguished from an effective number of charges Z* calculated in the Wigner-Seitz cell model to determine the interaction between the colloidal particles. We discuss the problem in terms of the full free energy of the system. The number of free counterions Z f as a function of the structural charge of the colloid is derived from the minimum of this free energy. Our results are compared with experimental data.
